1. Everyday, as a Hindu, you are bound to find something worthy of your outrage despite your best intentions. You will feel disheartened and wonder if the tide will ever turn, and if this land and its culture will ever see better days. #NewYearResolution
2. Every controversy is proof of how determined and sophisticated #BreakingIndia forces are and how deep their tentacles run. That they find willing supporters for their cause at a price should tell us how deep and widespread the cancer is #NewYearResolution
3. While I am aware that social media is a powerful tool of narrative building and propaganda, it is absolutely useless unless it is backed by concrete efforts on the ground. This is no more just a newsworthy controversy to be debated in TV studios. #NewYearResolution
4. Almost every controversy is designed/hijacked with d sole intent of targeting you at every level, to shame you,to guilt-trip u and to pummel u into submission until u give up every last fibre of your religious, cultural, national and civilizational identity #NewYearResolution
5. That being said, in my limited understanding,the most powerful counter to d best-laid conspiracies,especially d ones designed to deracinate and uproot u until u convert,is to work towards d awakening and strengthening of the masses who keep the faith alive. #NewYearResolution
6. Put your faith in the Hindu masses. Give them back their identity and treat them with respect. Their silence and their humility are what the #BreakingIndia forces take for granted and their voice is what they fear the most. #NewYearResolution
7. A calmly assertive Hindu society which is capable of standing up for itself and responding effectively to its detractors is the worst nightmare of #BreakingIndia forces. This is a long and tumultuous journey, but achieve we must under any circumstances #NewYearResolution
8. Given d sheer enormity of d goal,it is imperative tht no matter wat & how much d provocation,each of us must focus on channeling every ounce of our energy & anger into making a difference on d ground in whichever manner we are best qualified to & have chosen for ourselves.
9. We have to work doubly hard to compensate for d lack of participation of d apathetic idiots among us who, whether we like it or not, too are our own. With so much to do, where is the time for useless impotent outrage unless you derive sadistic pleasure in bitching & whining?
10.More importantly,do not equate mere creation of a discussion forum as ur contribution to d cause.Such forums usually serve to satisfy d intellectual itch of d well-heeled & well-fed which they wish to scratch in a public forum for self-edification as "intellectual Kshatriyas"
11. Even if you truly wish to project yourself as an "intellectual Kshatriya", at least muster the guts to publish ur views in a scholarly fashion for public consumption and critique instead of regurgitating half-baked views in an echo chamber.
12.I hv no intention of runnin down any1 who is a social media influencer or pitting talkers/writers v doers.After all,talking/writing is doing if it helps in conveying d message & convinces d fence-sitters. In any case,as a lawyer,I m in no position to run down d talkers/writers
13. However, every effort must be judged on the basis of its impact, which is different from assessing it in terms of success or failure.Sometimes, a failed initiative may end up advancing the cause much more than a successful one. But impact is achieved through unwavering focus
14. Anyone who hopes to meaningfully contribute to a civilizational movement and wishes to make an impact cannot do so unless she or he has the patience and stamina to pursue their areas of focus without being rocked by the ebb and tide of the news cycle.
15. To summarize,identify for yourself d specific area u wish to contribute to,to further d cause of Indic Renaissance and aspire to become the one-stop-shop for information and expertise in that area.Importantly, while I may sound like a stuck gramophone, never ever lose hope.
16.If v lose hope,v only strengthen d hands of those who r determined to wipe out every last trace of our existence as a civilization. We have survived so much & v will see this thru as well provided v strengthen our minds,hearts & spines by remembering our valiant ancestors.
17. 2019 is crucial and #BreakingIndia forces have already revealed their hand by telling us which faultlines they will pry open with relish to destroy this country from within. We should thank them for pointing out our weaknesses and get down to work. Our task is cut out for us.
18. I wish everyone a Happy New Year! May we realise our purpose as individuals and as a society and work towards regaining our rightful place as a great civilization and nation at the high-table of Great Powers. Vande Mataram.
