It's easy to make fun of Gandhi & celebrate macho militarism. But we risk forgetting that the path he put us on has been successfully followed by many others all over the world.
Can Israel’s 7/10 be replicated in India? The strategic environment is different but the answer is an unequivocal yes. All worst-case scenarios must be war-gamed and planned for.
The sovereign queens of the Bhauma-Kara dynasty, coming from tribal and royal backgrounds, were extraordinary examples of how Sanskritic court culture absorbed local traditions.

The author is concerned the masses are naively imagining that it has ended? He feels compelled to caution them against becoming sanguine so early!

Mr. Jerry Rao, like most who have similarly graduated from India’s public-funded elite institutions, always behaves as if that one credential gained long time back granted to him for perpetuity…with no further need ever for right effort by him…soaring intellectual and moral superiority, and temporal entitlements, which others cannot question.

Note how conveniently he credits all of the little that is imaginably good, even if insubstantial or unsubstantiated, to those in power whom he favours. While implying that the rot which has unabatedly continued even under those very them is despite them, and not because of them.
But, the certainity he will surely be having is that only they can do what must be done. Which is to set straight the rest of us. For which they need more time, and use more force.
