Dharma vs the Law of the Jungle

“In the jungle, might is right. In dharma, right is might.”

That’s the kind of truth that lingers.

In Dharma vs the Law of the Jungle, Devdutt Pattanaik dives deep into one of the most relevant philosophical conflicts of our time — what separates civilized behavior from primal instinct? Why do some people follow rules while others bend or break them to survive? What does it really mean to live ethically in a world obsessed with power and success?

This isn’t a dusty philosophical text. It’s a bold, accessible, and thought-provoking exploration of how Indian mythology and ancient dharmic wisdom can help us rethink power, justice, and morality — today. In offices, in families, in society, and even in our own minds.

Devdutt Pattanaik uses his signature storytelling style to contrast two mindsets:

The Law of the Jungle — survival at any cost, power without compassion, winning without wisdom.

Dharma — balance, responsibility, awareness, and doing what is right even when it’s not easy.

And the beauty of the book? It doesn’t give black-and-white answers. It teaches you to see the grey. Every story, every insight is crafted to help you reflect:
👉 Am I choosing fear or fairness?
👉 Am I following the herd or holding my ground?
👉 Am I acting like a predator… or a human?

You’ll meet characters from the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Puranas — but you’ll also see modern reflections of those same dilemmas in corporate boardrooms, political debates, and your own relationships. That’s Devdutt’s genius. He shows us that mythology was never about the past. It was always about now.

Whether you’re a student trying to find your voice, a professional navigating a toxic work culture, or just someone trying to stay true in a world full of shortcuts — this book gives you clarity. Not with heavy sermons, but with gentle, intelligent nudges.
