THE TWO WINGS OF DHARMA
Rama Tirtha also said:

"Vedanta, therefore, does not allow you to shirk your responsibility, to be inactive or to bow down before the tyrant if your cause is right or just. Your inertness, indolence or tolerance will further encourage the tyrant in his acts of terrorism or despotism. Vedanta expects you to stick to your righteous duty with fearlessness, but with honesty, truthfulness, love for all and hatred for none."

Unfortunately the non-violence practiced in modern India is generally associated with a policy of appeasement, particularly of religious minorities. Appeasing minorities can never result in their pacification or integration into a society (though it may temporarily gain their votes). It can only result in them asking for more special privileges and resorting to greater agitation to get them. It grants advantage to their special identity, which must strengthen their sense of being separate.
