Dharma Of Justice In The Sanskrit Epics: Debates On Gender Varna And Species

The book explores the Sanskrit epics, where characters discuss and criticize discrimination based on gender, varna, poverty, age, and disability. They argue that these categories are unreal and should be judged based on actions rather than birth. The book also discusses the dharmas of singleness, friendship, marriage, parenting, and ruling, and how Bhakta poets like Kabir, Tulsidas, Rahim, and Raidas incorporated these ideas to present a vision of oneness, justice, and kindness to animals.
