In Hinduism, the battle is the final step in containment, after every other method fail. So, it is not about the intent of violence, but the necessity to not do away with it which becomes
the central conflict. There is no idea of conquest, superiority or ambition involved in this as the victor and perpetuator are the two sides of the same coin, only separated by the moral
standing of their choices. The victor is never highly rewarded and the victim is never forgotten unlike in human history, hence it’s not about power, resistance, domination or subjugation.
Again, it is simply about bringing or restoring order.
