Why is non विओलेंस; disease for Indian way of life

India has been place of birth for many religions; from Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and about 80% of Indians are believers of either of these three religions. The main emphasis of these indian religion has been non violence, where killing of even an ant is considered sinful because of these influences India has never been an invader during last 1000 years and has always been attacked and plundered, first came Afghan and Iranian invaders and established Mughal empire in India and then with its decline came British. India way of life has always been attacked, though we may say we are elephant but history shows us that we have been nothing more than a goat, India has always been forced to adopt lifestyle and traditions of its foreign masters from adoption of parda (Veil) for women, to adoption of English as national language. (Its completely different story that now English language is one of India’s strength; it is what is know as unintended consequence).


The real sorry aspect of this has been that the indian elite believes that british rule has been good for India, they cite reasons, that british gave legal system, railways and unified India from various warring kingdoms but they forget and miss the point that Japan is modern, without colonial rule and very few Japanese know English and they conduct all their business in Japanese and are dominant economic power.

In this 21st century as well, you can feel the negative effects of non violence on Indian ways of life viz :

· Fiji has more than 45% people on Indian origin but still they cannot form their own government, because opposition leads a violent protest, capture parliament through brute force and force prime minister to resign and make constitutional amendment whereby no indian origin person can be prime minister. If Fiji’s only 10% of population had been non indian, who would have been discriminated against in similar manner, the result would have been completely different.
· After September 11, USA attacked halfway across the globe to avenge the death of 2200 people, but in India during last 20 years of insurgency in Kashmir and Punjab has lost more than hundred thousand people, but still we are expected to solve the problem peacefully.


Truth is without war, there is no peace. History teaches us that for last 1000 years, India has always chosen butter over guns and result has been that it was invaded, so its time to first have guns and then produce butter.
