Suheldev & the Battle of Bahraich (Indic Chronicles #1)

by Amish Tripathi

Non-violence has a place in a civilised society.

‘Lord Parshu Ram had said that a true warrior loves his country more than he loves his own soul. And if, by taking a sin on his soul, by sacrificing his own chance at moksha, he can protect the people who depend on him, then he should do it. Without hesitation.’

‘Those civilisations did not die just because foreigners invaded them. For is there ever a time when the civilised are not attacked by the barbarians? They died out because the civilised stopped caring about their own civilisations. But as Lord Shiva is our witness, we Indians will not stop caring!’
