In a war the rival sides have their own points of view, both sides are partly wrong and partly right. I have read the story of Mahabharat, but I could not decide who was right. One thing is definite, in a war there is always a Dropidi who suffers more than anyone else.

I appreciate what you say. It is always a Pyrrhic victory for the victor as well as the vanquished. While it is part of the story, Geeta is to be interpreted as an analogy. The war between good and evil perennially rages within every one. Dharma-kshetra and kuru-kshetra are to be viewed in this way. Thank you for showing interest.
