Some 5,000 years ago, in the time of Dwapar Yuga, the Mahabharata War has just ended: a conflict fought between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, cousins by relation.

Bhisma, the great sire of both warring parties, lies in the battlefield, wounded by hundreds of arrows shot by one of the Pandava brothers. The Pandavas have won the war, but Yudhishthir, the eldest brother, is grieving due to the great human tragedy. He goes to Bhisma, seeking solace from his wise great grand uncle.

The Battlefield Kurukshetra is fundamentally a dialogue between Bhishma and Yudhishthir about the origin and effect of wars and peace. The subject matter is universal and timeless, as is the poetic beauty of the original Hindi work, Kurukshetra, by poet Ramdhari Singh Dinakar. Author Ashok Sinha has attempted to reflect the substance and format of the immortal work in this English verse translation, following the original format without losing the natural flow of the English language.    

Readers of any age and cultural background will find resonance in theses themes; the book’s message is as relevant in today's world as in India thousands of years ago.
