Description
Jihad is one of the basic doctrines of Islam, but the average Indian's knowledge of it is both superficial and unsatisfactory.
This book is primarily a search for this meaning, and in this search our only guides are the Koran, the Hadis and the Shariat.
Hindus usually render the terms as dharmayddha, but this rendering is totally misleading . Dharmayuddha means 'war fought according to rules laid down in the Dharamashastras' such as: not attacking a person who does not have a weapon or has dropped it, not molesting an adversary who has surrendered, not pursuing a defeated enemy who has run away etc.
