Tokyo Outsider (337ppm)
#Hindi help please🙏 This text is via an automated transcription tool so apologies for any typos, but:
"Yah katha nahin hai, keval ichchhaon ke sangharsh kee."
was was translated as
"This is not a tale of the battle of desires."
But "battle of desires" seems fuzzy. Do they mean a battle between (conflicting) desires? A battle against desires? Either works in the context.
Is there any way to tell from the Hindi which meaning was intended? (My Hindi is terrible but I'd like to get this right).

Yah katha nahin hai, keval ichchhaon ke sangharsh kee."
This isn't a tale of the struggle of human(s) with the desires
Details are not sufficient to confirm of its one's own desires or this of the others, the struggle with which of the subject is mentioned in the quote

@brokenix Thank you, this is very helpful 🙏🧡 Given what you've said, I think it refers to all humans' struggle with their desires. From the context, it's not one specific person. I need to keep it as close to the original as possible, but based on your guidance I'll edit it to "This is not a tale of struggling with desires" or maybe "This is not a tale of battling desires." Thank you again!
