There was point mentioned by @harshmadhusudan about yugdharma. Yes there are provisions for it and that is what Pitamah Bheeshma explained to Yudhisthir as well..May 8/10 tweet series. here I go../1

Emperor Janamejaya was justly shaken and expressed horror and disgust at earlier stories of copulating siblings, parent-offspring duos, parent-siblings with offsprings along with others. Rishi Vaishampayana replied, "Oh king, in those ancient times, that was the yuga-dharma"

So let me ask you again what Yudhisthir asked Bhishma & later asked by Janamejaya (Son of Parikshit), What is Dharma?
Continuation of pursuit & acceptance of history,the way Ved Vyas did without shame & embarrassment even though co habitant had started in Dwapar & Gotra system /3

was established with certain relationships with certain women off limits. Still what stands out is Draupdi marrying all the 5 brothers. The practice was not prevalent but was in the memory as stories from grand father's times../4

Bhishma also said O, King, just as foot of an elephant covers every other foot,so does Rajdharma cover every aspect of Dharma,in all conditions, (chap.63/25). Among all Dharmas,Rajdharma is supreme, as it provides nourishment to people of all Varnas (professions). @Kal_Chiron /5

Rajdharma encompasses all sacrifices. The sages, since ancient period, praise sacrifice as the best form of Dharma, (63/27). The Sanatan Dharma got destroyed hundreds of time, but (each time) it was redeemed and spread again by Kshatra-dharma../6

In every age, Kshatra-dharma has to be active. Therefore, Kshatra-dharma is the best in the world, (64/26). Sages praise sacrifice or renunciation, but the greatest sacrifice is that of the kings who lay down their body in fulfillment of their Raj-dharma, (65/3)../7

Bhishma also said that 'Kama' is the जननी (mother) of all 'purushaasrtha'. may be that is the reason that Abrahamic memes have woven around norms to control 'kama' through control of women. Since X'tianity reformed itself, it has moved beyond../8

but Islam's power structure is such that change is difficult till such time women rise against it & free themselves. That is why Whether it is Taliban or ISIS (puritanical Islamists) they try and control women../9

Lessons for Indian politicians & hair brained anglophiles who read Tsu-tiyapanti books & hold on Machiavelli as some sort of christ of real politic. Yes Raj Dharma defines to "Yug Dharma" too. So if the kings desired to have population, they did that../10

if the King today decides to annihilate caste in service of Dharma, I am fine. Dharma must survive..
Dhareya iti Dharmaha..

I have immense respect for warriors whether they are Rajputs or Ahirs or Nair or Mahrattas.. Sarvshreshta is Kshatra-Dharma @KshatriyaItihas ../11

Anyone who picks weapons in service of Dharma is vandaniya and respect worthy../12
