‘Standing up to a bully’

China continues with international hegemony, a practice they espoused some 600 years ago with the introduction of Islam in South East Asia so that this would and did destroy influence from Maha Bhaarat - its culture and religiosity. They are doing the same but all over the world with their cash in the bank and buying out African nations; bullying nations in the South China Sea; influencing flea pit crazed nations like North Korea and Pakistan; blocking Bhaarat joining the influential international organisations of the UN.

Bhaarat on the other hand is making the right friends in Israel and Japan. Ethical and assisting attitudes which help the betterment of societies. This leads me onto the generous gentlemen from USA of Bhaarat origins who have made great acts of charity.

Editorji, I think of my time when I feel I should have stood up to the bullies of a company (line managers), a former employer, where the dark corners of one's mind and soul cause great pain thinking about these situations. Maybe this was what killed Nehru !

Mr Blackman in his article quite rightly comments on celebrating heroes not terrorists. It is a real shame that Britain did not think long term about the nations which harbinger vermin and take action accordingly. There are people in Bhaarat and closer to us here in the UK, parties we have supported but have in fact stabbed the Hindu-Dharmic community in the back. We will continue to be pained by this. The Friends of India (Bhaarat) and others who can influence the powers that be, need to take on this "challenge noiselessly but effectively".

For those of us who do not have (nor have the compunction to) power and/or money, the need to live righteously with the guidance of the right Guru who helps to remove the darkness in one's soul is paramount. My Guru has used the word Samanvaya from the Rig Veda. The leadership of Bhaarat appears to be taking this ethos forward. Maybe there is hope if we all do. Game on!
