"Mahabharata" the longest epic ever written, is a treasure trove of knowledge, that is still relevant, and needs to be retold over and over. While the first book "Mahabharata Unravelled" written by Ami Ganatra, was aimed to set the narrative straight about the Mahabharat and its characters, the second book focuses on the profound discourses present in the Mahabharat, particularly the conversation between Yudhishthir and Bishma on Rajdharma. But why is it relevant? Decolonization of our mind is essential in terms of the various aspects of governance, administration, justice, and security. As a Dharmic state, our central challenge is to overcome the 'Matsyanyaya', which is a law of the jungle scenario that arises without the presence of Dharma in governance and economics.
