Thanks Viren, but I was wondering which book (or reference) in particular clearly mentions these two types of war? I have read Kangle's ArthaShastra, albeit in parts, but do not remember reading an explicit reference to these two types of warfare. In any case my first reading of the AS was more from a historical/political view point.
I have heard about these two types of war, but which book scpecifically mentions them and where - is one question.
PS: This Dharamyuddha - reminds me of Asterix and Obelix in Brittan. Where the Brits decide to drink tea - in the middle of a war at 3 PM - while the Gauls are wondering who's going to be fighting the Romans. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->
