say that war can be just. The idea of having a justifiable war is called the “just war theory” or “just war doctrine”. As early as 400BCE, within the Indian book “Mahabharata”, the notion of having a just war has been debated. The discussion of this idea, within the Mahabharata, laid the groundwork for future influential philosophers to expand on this topic.
