Might is Right

“What a strong man says often becomes the only dharma;
A weak man may have dharma on his side but who listens to him ?"

thus spoke Bhishma in Mahabharatha.

This is more true today than then. In modern context might is right. America is dictating terms to other countries in the world despite their economy in shambles. US economy is in a worse state than the Far Easter Countries in late 1990's. The same country which preached economic prudence and belt tightening to other countries to sort out their financial problems are refusing to do the same in a similar situation.

Had it been any country other than China, there would have been global hue and cry over the atrocities conducted by China in Tibet and they would have been taken to cleaners for human rights violation. But look at the muted response of the world and especially the shameful servile attitude of India. Suddenly people are more concerned about the sanctity of Olympics and the need to uphold Olympic spirit.

It is time India and Indians understand the importance of being strong. Without that preaching platitudes and dharma shall yield no results
