Sen's interpretation of the position taken by Krishna and Arjuna in the debate between them is that Krishna on one side supports the theme of doing one's duty without thinking of the consequences while Arjuna on the other side focuses on doing deeds only of good consequences and avoiding bad deeds.
- In Amartya Sen's essay on Argumentative Indian, he discusses the argument between Krishna and Arjuna in Mahabharata before the start of the Kurushetra war.
- Sen perceives the reasons for the argument as valuable and profound and it appears as a substantive debate.
- He seems to support Arjuna's claim by stating "faring well and not 'just forward'."
Hope this helps.
