THE IMPORTANCE OF KSHATRIYA DHARMA
That a true Kshatriya is needed does not require that India must become military or a police state, which is the action of a false Kshatriya who use force to exploit, not to protect. A false Kshatriya, using power not to further the Dharma but to further adharma, would not help anything. In fact, when the true Kshatriya spirit is not honored, the false Kshatriya takes power, which is what has happened in modern India.

Gandhian politics has been replaced by socialist, communist and simply opportunistic policies of an adharmic nature. Had the true Kshatriya spirit not been already weakened, this would not have happened. To awaken spiritually, perhaps more than anything, India needs to reclaim its Kshatriya spirit, which is an integral part of its spiritual culture. It needs to honor its Ramas, Arjunas, and Shivajis, who maintained their nobility and spirituality, though they had to resort to force to protect the Dharma.

There is no other country so unappreciative of its great Kshatriyas, though there is perhaps no other country that has had Kshatriyas of such spiritual greatness. The key to the revival of India lies in its Kshatriya spirit, which is not apart from but integral to its spiritual heritage. The idea of the spiritual warrior and the warrior as a Dharmic force must arise again, not as apart from Brahma or spiritual knowledge but as its manifestation.
