Wars need not only be fought with weapons

Greetings!!

As recently as yesterday, we had an interactive class where we (the coach and students) discussed about how countries fight, how countries can employ what all treacherous strategies to annihilate the existence of their enemies from face of the map. Suprisingly, the strategies all seemed to be in practice already by a handful of so called powers in the world.

However, notably, every strategy we discussed regarding destroying the other nation significantly involved inflicting severe damages on the favored country too. If ten damages were incurred on the foe, it inevitably involved getting five damages on self too. In the end, we saw both the countries were dissolved - the one under attack a little earlier than the attacker. Nevertheless, none benefited or survived.

One of the strategies included mutating the foes' culture and confusing them regarding their own beliefs. Once this happens, a broad division will be created within the smaller strong and sustainable units comprising the society - the family institutions. When the families will not be able to converge on any opinion, the divide will worsen causing the split up of the only units which are the building blocks of any society. This will inevitably result in the degeneration of the society, bringing the ultimate downfall on them.

What i witnessed today morning during my public transport trip to the university was utterly shocking. The bus i boarded had an LCD fixed towards the front of the bus, right over the heads of the women. Though initially i was impressed with its existence in a bus, the idea looked all the more pathetic and nauseatic when moments later, typical bollywood 'rain-oriented' songs started playing along with their absurd videos that make the censor board look futile. Suprisingly, no one minded the playing of such explicit stuff in someplace as public as buses! Is our nation already dead? No one bothered to get such atrocity shut down. It was one of the worst things i witnessed in my country. Food for thought: What can be more heartbreaking than having a bunch of stratified people with dead conscience flogging a country that was allegedly brought into existence for the sole purpose of cherishing the wisdom embedded in our religion? Have we lost the war already?

Peace.
