Respond with facts, honesty and dignity. Stand your ground even if you are outnumbered regardless of who the opponents are and what their affiliation may be. Conviction is the key and it doesn't come from knowledge alone. Practice your Dharma & be true to it. Never abandon it.
This appears to be a period of churn,which must be embraced.The battle of ideas & ideologies is not going to be strictly limited to d Left v the Non Left,or one political party v another.What comes out of this churn may decide the future of Dharma and its Civilization. So be it.
I don't believe in water-tight camps. My position has usually been issue-based. No amount of churn within d non-Left will dilute my focus as to who is truly anti-Dharmic.That said,there r a few non-negotiable deal breakers & I sincerely hope V don't collectively cross d Rubicon.
05/08/2020 must remind us of what we have lost,how long it has taken for us to reclaim 1 Holy Site & how many more r waiting to be reclaimed & freed. In many ways,today Dharmics r better off than they were when Mir Baqi destroyed The Holy Temple,& they r worse off in other ways.
Perhaps Time wants an internal churn to take place in order to prepare Dharmics for external challenges. Or may both are meant to take place simultaneously. Whichever way it happens, both knowledge and conviction must go hand in hand, is my limited understanding of it.
Sitting on the fence on key questions may not be or is not an option anymore.But how we choose to engage with opposing viewpoints is equally important for d future of Dharma.And everyone opposed to Dharma is salivating and watching. That big picture must never be lost sight of.
Therefore,assuming that I haven't conducted myself in a manner that befits my belief in Dharma,I am going to try my utmost to not engage in Twitter wars. My work, talks/debates and articles will be my primary media henceforth. That said, *the Lakshman Rekha condition applies*.
To end this thread on a positive note,we r extremely fortunate to be part of a generation which will witness the Bhoomi Pujan of Shri Ramjanmabhoomi despite d bile and rancour of Dharmaphobes.The sacrifices of our ancestors must be memorialised, revered and learnt from.
Har Dharmic ko meri Haardhik Shubhkaamnaayen aur Badhaiyaan! Raja Ramachandra ki Jai! Jai Shri Ram!
