c5.s2.97

We must specially emphasize this social aspect of war. In modern war the normal course of individual and commercial life is greatly disturbed. Trade is hampered and prices rise enormously. In a word, non-combatants are as much affected as combatants. This stands in contrast with the theory and practice of war in ancient India. The normal life of the people was never disturbed and arts and crafts continued to flourish irrespective of war or peace.
