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

20 years of “global war on terror,” the U.S. still does not grasp very basic, fundamental things about the nature of its adversaries, believing it can compartmentalize groups and geographical boundaries — such as the Taliban and Al- Qaeda or Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq..
when what it is actually facing is a pan-Islamic global crusade whose elements are inextricably intertwined and ultimately control Pak & Iran.This misunderstanding is born of a Western analytical mindset tht struggles with an enemy that refuses to think in recognisable categories
— to whom nation state, nationalism or nationality are anathema. Because Western analysts have made a category error, incapable of understanding that Islamic groups do not identify as anything other than Muslim regardless of where they are located, same mistake is made by indians

Americans have not fought a peer power since 1942-42-WW2. There too Russians destroyed over 56% of German Armour and over 55% of manpower. Rest of the allies US/UK/France included managed mere 45%.
India on the other hand has fought two peer powers since independence and mostly come out on top except for 1962..
Russians too have fought peer power
Americans had industrial strength and that too is hollowed out to China. Now it is living on Petro-dollars

Mughals too routed him in 50's and Marathas though lost but wiped off entire generations of Afghans at Panipat.
Abdali could never field any army that size or experienced. Real winners of 1761 were Sikhs who took the Kesariya to Pashtoon lands.
When Timur Abdali sacked Amritsar and filled Amrit Sarovar with Horse shit, it was Marathas who liberated the city.

Democracy is overrated. All the current rich countries became rich much before they allowed universal franchise. We are not a nation but a crowd of idiots mostly.
I would prefer a monarchy over democracy. Monarch can plan for long time frame, without fear of vote considerations.
internally, a massive ghar wapsi campaign in order to assimilate the muslim population in national Dharmik mainstream is only options. 95% of them are anyway Hindu converts, leaving aside Ashrafs..
Can be accommodated in their castes.Reservation benefit will help bring them back
At an individual level, we must make it a habit to donate to temples a certain % of income -1% , devote some time every week- May be sunday as @KapilMishra_IND ji started. Bond well,Keep the temples clean & start doing prabhat pheri.
Work hard,make money & employ fellow Dharmiks

The taliban is not and has never been a monolithic force..Use them to fight them...There is no Mullah Umar now
I am repeating ad nauseam, with Talib takeover of Afghanistan, fight among warlords... Pakis may land up being strategic depth of Pashtoons rather the other way round as hoped by Pakis
You can never buy and Afghan, you can always rent one though. @DefenceMinIndia @PMOIndia We should look to buy the additional stock of Humvees and assault rifles (100000 or so) captured by Talibs through backchannel for cheap.

@DrSJaishankar , Smart think for us will be to quietly push the idea of splitting Afghanistan, nation created by Ahmad shah Durrani from patchwork of warring tribes after defeating them, into Pashtoon and merging non-pashtoon with their ethnic kin i.e. Tajik, Uzbek, Hazara..
With Pashtoon homeland in south, they can be happy running it as they want to.. whipping, stoning is all legit islamic. Why are we feeling sorry for them. Pashtoons want Sharia by Allah they would have it.
They can also align with their kin across Durand line, erase injustice
Pakjabis are the one who are helping them by bringing more islam.. used to be other way round. I am sure Pakjabis will be happy to le their islamic brothers - pashtoons unite with their kin straddling across Durand line..
I don't see any Indian dilemma at all..
