How Did Egypt And India Agree With Similar Wars

Although the war that India experienced between 400 BC and 200 BC was similar to the one Egypt encountered in 1326 BC, the societies in these countries differed in how they approached the incidences. Whereas some people in Egypt believed that religion allowed Ramses to engage in war against Khita; Arjuna, the leader of the war in India believed that war could destroy the family and the society’s values; war was further perceived to be against the will of God.
