( Lord Krishna in the Gita tells Arjuna to fight as it is his duty to protect dharma. A recourse to
use of force or even war is not ruled out. But, the war comes after every effort to avoid it has
failed). In today’s world, peace is endangered. Peace must be inculcated as a way of life. .

We should know how to relate to one another without being aggressive, without being violent,
without being disrespectful, without neglect, without prejudice.”
