Vasudeva na\u00eet le jour de la mort du patriarche du village, un signe favorable ou funeste ? Tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t confront\u00e9 aux jeux de pouvoir, il est tent\u00e9 par l\u2019autorit\u00e9, mais en d\u00e9couvre rapidement la violence et s\u2019en d\u00e9tourne, lass\u00e9 par le sang et les compromissions. Il part alors en qu\u00eate de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 et de justice, cherchant des r\u00e9ponses aupr\u00e8s de sa m\u00e8re, d\u2019un vieux sage, puis en lui-m\u00eame. R\u00e9sistant aux pressions du pouvoir, Vasudeva choisira de rester fid\u00e8le \u00e0 ses principes jusqu\u2019au bout. Ce r\u00e9cit prend la forme d\u2019un conte philosophique sobre et puissant, qui interroge la l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 du pouvoir, la responsabilit\u00e9 individuelle et la fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 \u00e0 ses principes – des questions toujours d\u2019une grande actualit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Vasudeva, mon fils bien-aim\u00e9, murmura-t-elle, les Dieux que tu sers ne permettent pas que nous versions le sang. La fl\u00e8che n’est pas le meilleur chemin vers la justice.

– M\u00e8re, g\u00e9mit-il, l’homme a frapp\u00e9 et il frappera encore. Les Dieux ne veulent pas non plus que le fouet s’abatte sur les cheveux gris.
– Parfois si, r\u00e9pondit-elle sans pleurer. Ce qu’ils veulent n’est pas de notre ressort. Celui qui essuie le sang de ses propres cheveux est plus proche du souffle des Dieux que celui qui le fait verser.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
