Description

About The Book: The Social and Military Position of the Ruling Caste in Ancient India: As Represented by the Sanskrit Epic by Edward W. Hopkins examines the role of the Kshatriya (warrior) caste in ancient Indian society, as portrayed in the Sanskrit epics, particularly the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Hopkins analyzes how these texts depict the social, military, and political responsibilities of the ruling class, emphasizing their martial prowess, governance, and ethical duties. The work highlights the caste's central position in maintaining order, defending the realm, and shaping the moral and cultural framework of ancient Indian society.
