Along Came A Warrior: Banda's Dharamyudh and the Sikh Theory of Just War - Paperback

by Lt Gen Rajinder S. Sujlana (Author), Rupinder S. Brar (Author)

Just War theory is a Christian doctrine, of interest to historians, military leaders, theologians, ethicists, and policy makers. The term Dharamyudh is often considered its Indian equivalent though the two are not always analogous. Along Came a Warrior: Banda's Dharamyudh and the Sikh Theory of Just War is a uniquely different book that reinterprets historical memory and landmarks from religious, political, and military perspectives. It defines the Sikh idea of a just war or Dharamyudh by placing it in a comparative context with the ideas held by other ruling elites of the time such as the Mughals, the Rajputs, the Hill Rajas, and the Marathas.
