Today, lets learn about the Premise.
The Gita is a dialogue between the warrior-prince ARJUNA and the Bhagwaan KRISHNA who is serving as his charioteer at the Battle of Kurukshetra fought between Arjuna's family & allies (the Pandavas) and those of the prince DURYODHANA & his family (the Kauravas) and their allies.
This dialogue is recited by the Kauravan counselor Sanjaya to his blind king Dhritarashtra (both far from the battleground) as Krishna has given Sanjaya mystical sight so he will be able to see and report the battle to the king.
The Kauravas and Pandavas are related and there are mutual friends and family members fighting on both sides for supremacy of rule. This war is called MAHABHARATA, which ran for 18 whole days.
On 1st Day of MAHABHARATA. When Arjuna sees his Grand Father, Teacher, Cousins & Family on the opposing side, he loses heart and refuses to take part in a battle that will result in their deaths and as well as many others.
What follows after this is a long drawn conversation between Arjuna and Krishna. Where Krishna, reasons with Arjuna about the Purpose of this.
It is this Conversation in the form of Shlokas is what is called "BHAGWAD GITA"
