Very right but still slightly off.

Hi , Indian. This name is not to offend you. You have spoken out what i also think but i disagree with the concept of ahimsa as you have to go to war fro the sake of maintaing the state of non-violence! Indians didi nothing to British invaders. if Indians wanted then they could have strangulated each individual of east-india company.

This ahimsa did not get us freedom as Islamist/ nehruvian/Gandhian tell us here in India. Ahimsa is defunct ideology. It should be applied in the context of the lives of common people and not everywhere blindly. We don't forgive one who talks impolitely with us but ready to forgive those who wants to kill us. GANDHI Was dis-illusioned or hfe wanted to gain cheap popularity by proposing a radical (abstract) idea. Gita says and i paraphrase "violence is necessary".
