@sushmita,
and as for the topspin you put to the gita, it says dharma/duty comes above everything.
arjuns main duty at that time was to prevent the kuravas from winning. if a few men died - then so be it.
netaji's main duty at that time was to get us freedom. if that meant teaming with a madman, then so be it.
netiji fullfills the crieteria better than any one in know since arjun himself.
and i'd prefer to read the koran in a free india over reading the gita or anything else in a india under poms.
how the hell does gita and other theology factor into a discussion about a war of independence. was bhagat singh a lesser patriot than ramakrishna cos the latter knew hinduism more?? bollocks !!
