dalsingh101 Posted December 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 A lot of Bush, Blair, Camoron type bewakoofs could have done with following these maxims. Note that the text appears to open the door to disobeying orders from above if they are against the interests of the state. Quote Now, to win battles and take your objectives but to fail to consolidate these achievements in ominous and may be described as a waste of time. And therefore, it is said that enlightened rulers must deliberate upon plans to go to battle, and good generals carefully execute them. If not in the interests of the state, do not act. If you cannot succeed, do not use troops. If you are not in danger, do not fight a war. A sovereign cannot launch a war because he is enraged, nor can a general fight a war because he is resentful. For while an angered man may again be happy , and a resentful man again be pleased, a state that has perished cannot be restored, nor can the dead be brought back to life. Therefore, the enlightened ruler is prudent and the good general is warned against rash action. Thus the state is kept secure and the army preserved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amardeep Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I will find out and let you know :) There must have been some Sanskrit Granth connected to a Rajput Khashatriya court that covers strategies of warfare.
