Trumpet of non-violence

Today I would like to tell you a story, and it's about you :)
Maybe this never happened to you before but for sometime please imagine that this is the real situation.
So let's begin,

You have a luxurious bungalow, and you live there with your wife and two kids. you have big garden in front of your house with all colorful flowers and you have spent beautiful moments there with your wife and children. You taught your kids to play cricket there, you shared morning tea with your wife there. For this house you are the master, your kids and wife depends on you. This home is the most secured and lovely place you find on this earth. And you have a security guard also who protects you day in and day out. But he won't do anything without your instructions. He salutes you and respects you as a master and he knows his livelihood depends on this job. He never imagined to own such a big bungalow, but yes he feels proud to protect it.

One fine day you wake up in the morning, you come to your window and you see there's a man with a gun in his hand standing in your garden and he has erected his tent too at the same place. You ignore it as you know he is your neighbor and carry on your daily routine. You get into your car, your security guard as a ritual greets you "salam sahab". Your wife and kids live in terror of being killed by this intruder. You go to your office and crib about that neighbor discuss with your friends and come back home at night.

Now next day you observe there are more people in your garden and they have also occupied your hall on ground floor also. Your kids your wife are getting angry and asking you for solutions. Then you decide to talk to one of their leader but of no use. Then again a day pass by and you see you are left with just one small room and everything else is occupied by your neighbors. Now they have put sign boards also with their names on it. But still you don't order your security guard to throw them out. And continue doing useless negotiations with them. And still you happily watch TV with your family. You are rich enough to give up your bungalow to them and buy a new one. But still question is would you give up?

Now lets look at the bigger picture. My country India is driven by such government only. Chinese intruders occupied our land still we have no choice but to sit and watch them occupy our land and discuss about cricket match. Our politicians go and crib in front of media but they can't order our army to take actions.  Imagine this scary situation at your own home. Would you watch this without taking any action? Would you give up your home to these intruders? Won't you ask your security guard to take action? and most important won't you give rights to your security guard to tackle such emergency situations? Or you will just give up on this land?

Look at the history, we Indians never attacked any land or ruled any other land. We believed in non violence. But frankly speaking I'm not proud of it. Because we always let others occupy our land and rule us.   If you can't attack anyone then at-least learn how to protect ourselves. Otherwise this non violence is not our asset but a mere example of Cowardliness.
