FAQs

What policy implication follows from identifying an āsura-vijayī?

Concessions are unlikely to secure safety; the state should prioritize deterrence, strong alliances, fortified defense, evacuation/protection of civilians, and if needed decisive resistance.

Why is this a distinct category from the lobha-vijayī?

Because the aim is not merely extraction but domination through terror and destruction; transactional settlements do not reliably terminate such aggression.
