00:00Arjun says, you see, if I fight, all the Kshatriya men will be gone.
00:04And if the Kshatriya men are gone, their women will become corrupted.
00:08This is not a very dignified way of looking at women.
00:12Or is it? Their women, as if men own women.
00:16And as if women have no discretion, no life of their own.
00:19This is a very objectified way, where women are things to be possessed.
00:24Things to be possessed, that if left unpossessed, would tumble into some kind of moral abyss.
00:33Do you see, who is it that Arjun is representing?
00:37Arjun is representative of all that which is regressive in cultural thought.
00:42The Krishna of Gita is, he is a liberating force.
00:45Arjun stands for conservatism and orthodoxy.
00:49And Shri Krishna comes as a force that liberates the mind from all that.
00:54Arjun styles in art.
