    I chose Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad-Gita. This chapter is set in a battlefield where a war between the Kaurava’s and Pandava’s armies is about to take place. Just before the war begins Prince Arjuna sees that in both armies family members are present, both sides are made up of “fathers, grandfathers, teachers, brothers, uncles, sons, grandsons, in-laws and friends." Arjuna is overcome with grief and tells Krishna, who has taken the form of his charioteer, that he has no desire to fight and no need for a kingdom if it means killing his own family. Krishna tells Arjuna to get up and push forward for it is his duty as a warrior to fight this righteous war. When Arjuna questions this, Krishna explains that there is no such thing…

    In the past, the expression of all of the Indian’s resistance was seen as rebellious and deemed as imprudent choices. Now after full consideration, one can see that that was their only way out, and how anything other than rebellious acts would have just lead to greater and greater events of violence inflicted upon them. Therefore, the conclusions behind Indian’s reasoning’s have changed over time to the point where now it is understandable why they reacted and tried to put a stop to the abuse before it got…

    Written in 29 B.C.E. by the famous poet, Virgil, The Aeneid tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan warrior who travels to Italy to find a new home. As Aeneas makes his way across the ocean, he encounters a plethora of complications. In the face of all this adversity, Aeneas continues to exhibit the principal Roman virtue, pietas, which comprises the concepts of piety, public virtue, and duty. The idea of pietas bears an uncanny resemblance to the Hindu value, dharma. After a careful examination of The Aeneid and The Ramayana, it is evident that Aeneas and Rama both exhibit the true mark of a hero: the ability to sacrifice one’s most profound desires in order to uphold the highest ideal of one’s culture.…

    The first chapter of Metcalf and Metcalf’s A Concise History of Modern India, addresses the popular assumption that India is a “timeless” country. Because of that misconception, people often correlate India’s past directly with the present, especially when it comes to the caste and other social organizational systems (Metcalf & Metcalf, 3). In reality, referring to the Mughal and Sultanate era of India as a stagnant period of time is misleading and incorrect. This underlying theme of the development and evolution of South Asia during this period of time reappears throughout the chapter, enforcing the idea that the Mughal rule was in fact, an age of substantial growth and change. The authors’ argument is concisely stated when they write, “The…

This action not only set the story, but was a huge event when we consider the historical context of India at this time. From a fortunate, bright young man to a wise, enlightened one, the author allows our knowledge to piece together the significance of each decision he made along his journey.…
