c9.s5.2

In ancient India mere earth hunger was not the cause of wars. According to the ancient Hindu Dharma though wars might be waged with heavy losses of men and money on both sides, yet they were to be righteous ones. The peace-loving Brahmans and the contented peasants working in the fields were not to be molested. Megasthenes was very much pleased to see this state of affairs existing in North India during the time of his visit.
