Is it possible to win and still keep one’s soul? The Mahabharat tells us we can.
The ancient epic, which flourishes in the hearts and minds of many even
today, deals with profound normative questions of (and advice on) morality,
duty, virtue, law, justice and war. The text also does not shy away from
pragmatic and strategic issues of negotiation, alliances, training and
education, leadership, and more. Its unflinching look at bleak realities makes
the Mahabharat a text uniquely applicable to our current times.
Drawing on the timeless stories of the Mahabharata, this book applies its
practical wisdom to questions of our personal and lives. It explores winning
strategies that are suited to the modern day and work together with ethical
choices.
Written for a broader audience of scholars, practitioners and other avid
readers, Strategic Choices, Ethical Dilemmas will be useful for all those seeking
to put the world to rights and provide some tasty food for thought for those
who enjoy paradoxes and squared circles.
