This book provides the first systematic analysis and interpretation of the Bhagavad-Gita as a work of political theory. Exploring its narrative and characters comprehensively in its own textual and historical context, with a close reading of the original Sanskrit, this volume fills a crucial gap by enriching the study of this ancient religious and philosophical work. Key themes include monarchy, rule, pluralism, and power. Additionally, by examining its influence on Mohandas Gandhi, Narendra Modi, Hindu nationalism, and contemporary Indian democracy, it offers timely insights into the enduring impact of the Gita’s ideas on political ideologies, movements, and rhetoric today.
