Evil and the Philosophy of Retribution - Palshikar, Sanjay (Department of Political Science, University of Hyderabad, India)

This book examines the concept of 'evil' and the responses to it through modern interpretations of the Bhagavad-Gita by Tilak, Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo. Using sources as diverse as puranic stories, medieval inscriptions and Gita-commentaries across centuries, it draws attention to the intriguing nexus between the attribution of evil and justification of violence.
