Educational Q&A

Even in war, decisions are ethically charged: the majority may find a tactic acceptable, yet a dharma-minded leader like Yudhiṣṭhira hesitates, weighing righteousness and consequences before consenting.

Sañjaya reports that most participants approve a certain plan, while Yudhiṣṭhira agrees only reluctantly, indicating a tense moment of counsel where moral scruple clashes with wartime necessity.
