The Hindu disease of one sided tolerance towards turushka danavas is nothing new. Great freedom fighter & founder of Bharatiya vidhya bhavan KM Munshi writes in the foreword of the book titled " The struggle for empire" which details the turushka invasion of Bharat in detail (1)
He writes "Indian kings, steeped in their tradition of tolerance, could
scarcely envisage the danger to which their policies towards Isl@m
exposed them. In spite of what was happening in North India, Indian
kings permitted foreigners to settle freely in their kingdoms..cont.. (2)
... and granted them free exercise of their religious practices. Even before
the Turkic invasion, some sects of isl@m had drifted into the country
and their religious and proselytising activities had not been interfered with...cont... (3)
.. Jayasimha Siddharaja of Gujarat (1094-1143CE) punished some of his subjects for interfering with the worship of mµslims. Proselytising activities were freely carried out in the days of the Yadavas by a sufi, mumin arif, who settled near Devagiri in the South..cont.. (4)
... Sarangadeva (1294-1297)
of Gujarat gave a grant for a masjid to the local mµslim community
of Prabhasa Pattana with the blessings of the high-priest of Somanatha when, for decades, the turks had been destroying thousands of temples in Varanasi and other sacred places... (5)
.. Once the turkish sultanate was installed at Delhi & isl@m
came to be enthroned in political power, wherever the writ of the
Sultans ran, the proselytising activities of isl@m became active.. (6)
... Hindus were denied the right to public worship and were subjected to civil disabilities and other indignities and many communities, particularly in the lower strata of society, took to the new faith in order to escape these hardships"

How difficult is it learn from history?
The scoundrels who ratted fellow Hindus in the recent Temple case must be ashamed of themselves.

In their insufferable show of moral superiority complex, they have ruined the lives of Hindus of that place who have been bravely guarding their Temples in difficult circumstances.
That too without hearing to the other side of the story. What pathetic people. Shameful. The tragedy is that

1) Zero lessons have been learnt from history.

2) This nonsense will keep repeating because too many "Hindus" suffer from some fake moral superiority complex.

Siyar al-Aqtab on chisthi.

"Although at that time there were very many temples of idols around the lake, when the Khwaja saw them, he said: If God and His Prophet so will, it will not be long before I raze to the ground these idol temples... (1)
... It is said that among those temples there was one temple to reverence which the Raja & all the infidels used to come. When khwaja settled there, every day his servants bought a cow, brought it there & slaughtered it & ate it... (2)
P.M. Currie, the author of the book "The Shrine and Cult of Muʻīn Al-Dīn Chishtī of Ajmer" notes:

There is evidence, more reliable than the tradition recorded in the Siyar al-Aqtab, to suggest that this was the case in Ajmer. Sculpted stones, apparently from a Hindu temple..(3)

A piece of advice for all Hindu men. Get into the culture of strength training. If you are thin & skinny, look at ways to add more mass. If you are overweight & obese, burn that fat away. In both cases the best way to achieve this is by adding muscle mass via weight training.
Weight training when complimented by rudimentary training in some kind martial arts will go a long way in self improvement. You'll find yourself to be a lot stronger, agile with good reflexes & reaction times. Focus on compound & explosive movements to build that power & speed.
Of course all this isn't going to turn you into some action hero figure where you'll be able to beat the crap out of a dozen people at a time.

But what it'll give you is a lot of self confidence. Tonnes of it. Will leave you with a fighting chance in tricky real life situations.

Along with Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, most abused & overused Sanskrit verse is:

"Ekam sad viprah bahudha vadanti"

Sitaram Goel in his book "Defense of Hindu Society" explores the psyche of "Hindus" using this verse out of context & the immense harm they have brought on themselves
Sitaram Goel dwells deep into what makes Hindus, especially leaders from the sangh often quote such Sanskrit verses. He lists two reasons

1) Psychology of surrender
2) Psychology of imitation.

He also give a road map to snap out of this situation.
Regarding the verse itself, it is from the Rigveda 1.164.46.

The full mantra reads as:

Indram mitram varunam agnim ahuh,
atho divyah sa suparNo garutman, ekam sad viprah bahudha vadanti,
agnim yamam matarivãnam ahuh.

Description of the geography of Bharatavarsha in the Markandeya Puranam

Read on 🕉️ twitter.com/i/events/13054…
A Hindu dharmika's reverence for Bharat and everything within its realm is embedded in our genes. We worship its holy kshetras, holy mountains, holy rivers, its holy plants & animals as mentioned in our Dharmashastras.
Everytime we Hindus take a sankalpa during any homa/puja, we invoke the names of many geographical entities within the realms of Bharat. From the lofty snow clad mountains of the Himalayas to the lush green forests of the Dandakaaranya to the plains of the Ramasethu.

Today will be remembered as the day when a bunch of sword wielding tractor driving terrorists rammed their way through police barricades & planted their flag over one of the forts of the capital city. All the while the leadership of the country looked in the opposite direction.
In the good old medieval days, an enemy planting his flag over your fort meant absolute defeat & humiliation. Kings in the olden days used to go out of the way to ensure that forts were well guarded. For in a fort was the prestige of not just the emperor, but the entire empire.
The symbolism of forts was never lost on the rulers of the past. For example Vijayanagara emperor Vira Narasimharaya used to ask for daily reports from his Dandanayaka on the security arrangements at all the important forts that he controlled.

Hindu rulers of the past knew how to punish lowly mlecchas when they overstepped the line & insulted our faith.There was in instance where Aliya Ramaraya of Vijayanagara, who was actually very tolerant of turushkas,actually punished them in a fitting way for insulting our deities
Aliya Ramaraya recruited a large number of turushkas into the Vijayanagara army. There was an occasion where 2 such turushka officials came to the capital in order to receive payments for the services which was due to them.
During that time the turushkas were seated in the durbar & a wild boar passed them at a distance outside. At the sight of the boar the two turushkas spat on the ground. The boar as we know is not only avatara but was also part of the royal insignia of the Vijayanagara empire.
