In an article dated, November 6th 2020, Audrey Truschke, an Associate Professor of South Asian History at Rutgers University Newark, mentions a paragraph: “Krishna’s discourse to Arjuna, known as the Bhagavadgita (‘Song of the Lord’), or Gita for short, is often read as a standalone work today, and revered by many across the world for its insights on morality and even nonviolence.
