There is another interpretation that the battle of Kurukshetra was never literal, and that the whole Gita is a symbolic representation of the metaphorical battle taking place constantly in the minds of every human being striving towards enlightenment. Yea, that's how Easwaran interprets the text. He talks a bit about it in his introduction to my version of the Gita. He seems to imply that many Indians believe it to have been a historical event. Also, I was kind of drunk when I made that last post. Not sure why I brought up the Indus Valley Civilization...
