Hindus need violent Kshatriyas to save it's gentler side!!

Nothing could be more violent than the kalinga days of king Ashoka......notihng could be more violent than the description of wars in Mahabharata days.......even Ramayana had its violence.......Hinduism was NEVER gentle like it became after Jainism and Buddhism.......

Sanaysa and the "gentleness" was an exclusive dharma of the last days of man's journey in his life after he has gone through the stages of Brhamacharya, Grahastha and Vanaprastha.......

Buddhist cut short the early 3 stages of man's life and emphasized upon sanyasa dharma.

Hindus FORGOT to carry 'kshatra' (weapons) after Buddhist monasticism was spread by erstwhile Kshatriyas like Ashoka and became weak. Thus, the fact is that the Hindus became "gentle" after Buddhism and Jainism was spread and it weakened the kings's resolve to fight the wars.

Much like Arjuna lost the resolve to fight for dharma at the sight of his own kin. These Buddhist and Jain kings lost the resolve to fight for the dharma and were not able to defend themselves and the rest of people against the momeen hordes.

Hindus need kshatriyas in order to survive. Whenever , hindus took to violence they were actually able to save the "gentler" face of their dharma.

Violence defined as killing is wrong. Rape is a violence. Murder is a violence. But killing can be dharma or duty. it need not be dharma of Kshatriya only. Each one of us need to be Kshatriya when time needs it to protect the Natural law or the Dharma.

Ladduji you are doing a great service.
