The Bhagavad Gita portrays the message of ‘faring forward’ despite all the challenges. Krishna advocates this message saying that one should fare forward irrespective of consequences. However, Sen feels that in the contemporary world of wars and violence the message of Arjuna ‘faring well’ is a more sensible one. He supports his statement by providing the example of J.R. Oppenheimer (the physicist whole the American team that developed the nuclear weapon). Sen believes that simply ‘faring forward’ may not be judicious in this era of violence as it may result in a much disastrous consequence. Instead, judging the situation sensibly and then taking the appropriate steps would be the best solution in the present day. Therefore he supports Arjuna’s decision of faring well and not just forward.
