State reasons why war is not considered as the first option rather is taken as the last resort? 10 marks

Mentor’s comment-

  • In the introduction briefly talk about war; usual causes and the ethical dimensions involved.
  • In the body explain that war is a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country. It involves manifestation of violence, hatred, anger, lack of trust etc. It leads to destruction, death, pain and miseries to lot of people. Explain reasons why war is not considered as the first option rather is taken as the last resort. But sometimes war becomes essential. Discuss the concept of war ethics in detail. Then explain why War is not considered as the first option rather taken as last resort; give suitable justifications. Have a passing reference in the Indian context.
  • Conclude by asserting that India has given the world Buddha (peace), not war. Indian values promote peace, harmony and respect for each other. It is evident from the fact that India has never imposed war on any country.

      You can also fragment your content in two headings- traditional view and alternative view.

      Hi Bhupender
      Good intro.
      Mention the Just War theory that considers the reasons for going to war (Jus ad bellum) and the conduct of war (Jus in bello).
      Try to give headings and subheadings to present your answer in a better structured manner.
      Also mention that War ethics leads to the creation of formal codes of war (e.g. The Hague and Geneva conventions), the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes.
      Good conclusion.
      Keep working hard.
