Kurukshetra, moves beyond its ancient tale to reflect today’s world. It reminds us of the ongoing struggle between good and evil, highlighting ethical dilemmas we face. It reveals the consequences of unchecked ambition, greed, envy, and ego, showing how fragile peace can be.
Beyond its mythological roots, Kurukshetra becomes a symbol of contemporary battles against intolerance, injustice, and inequality. It blurs lines between right and wrong amid conflicting ideologies. It challenges humanity’s eternal choice between war and peace, urging us to seek justice and equity. But at the same time any war is a crime against humanity and the ecosystem we live in.
This anthology is not just about Kurukshetra, here authors can reflect upon various other historical and mythological conflicts: the biblical journeys of the Israelites, ancient wars that shaped civilizations, World Wars, and modern genocides. Authors are invited to contribute and explore the theme Kurukshetra: between war and peace.
