If there is one overarching message in the Mahabharata, it is this -- war doesn't work when peace is an option. What it also says is to eschew moralistic binaries such as black or white, good or bad, and masculine or feminine. It raises lots of questions, but never leaves proper answers. So say Sibaji Bandopadhyay and Sankha Banerjee, the writer and illustrator of the newest interpretation of the epic -- a graphic novel called Vyasa: The Beginning.
