Publisher's Synopsis

Gurcharan Das turns to the Mahabharata in order to answer the question, why be good?, and discovers that the epic's world of moral haziness and uncertainty is closer to our experience as ordinary human beings than the narrow and rigid positions that define most debate in this fundamentalist age of moral certainty.
