Wendy Doniger On Gita
"The Bhagavad Gita is not as nice a book as some Americans think.
Throughout the Mahabharata ... Krishna goads human beings into all
sorts of murderous and self-destructive behaviours such as war....
The Gita is a dishonest book; it justifies war. ..I'm a pacifist. I
don't believe in `good' wars."
Wendy Doniger, Indologist and Professor of History of Religions at
the University of Chicago: Philadelphia Inquirer of 19 November
2000.)
