Indeed,
it is there on page 34 of the said introduction:
... the 'Ramáyana' is a tale of "othering," the enemy is non-human, even
demonic, ...; the 'Mahabhárata' is a tale of "brothering," the enemy are
kinsmen, ...
Best,
Christian

I’m traveling without access to my books but do also look at
Shelly’s introduction to Rama’s Last Act (Bhavabhuti’s
Uttararamacarita) in the Clay Sanskrit Library edition.

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Brothering
_[EXTERNAL SENDER]_
Dear List,
Does anyone know any references to the term 'brothering' allegedly
used by Sheldon Pollock in connection with the two great Sanskrit
epics? The term 'brothering' is supposed to be opposite of the more
well-known postmodern term 'othering'.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards
Victor van Bijlert
