Snippets: Ahimsa Conversation # 122 Harsh Mander

Thank you something’s happening around our world the blue country of the country around the world more and more people are being attracted to leaders who are encouraging us where to be a minority of any time to become more and more dangerous and when you see somebody who is like

You know and believe in a world where the chances that the person next door to you may not look like you you know speak like you you know worship like you and so on so how do you respond to this person so are you India’s friendly welcoming or you you know fearful thankful

Uh and the uh and we are finding more and more people are getting attracted to leaders and I’m not very I’m not facing the you know my body is not about the leaders it’s about how many of us are getting attracted to the leaders who are

Teaching us to get into fear uh and in this in this new Indian world that we are creative which is founded around the politics of it and social relations okay uh again this song you know at some level it’s very simple uh And yet when you think about it it is

Let me take you to a place under the sky where there is is really one of those really beautiful words because it means we are bound to and with each other so what does this mean it means that uh that if they as you would what the king

You know the change in your scene once you’re stealing my freedom uh if you’re being lashed on your back pain on my if you are suffering there are girls that come to my heart uh you know I I often think that perhaps the deepest born that human beings can

Have between each other is what I call a relationship of being legal being is something that I suffer with suffers from and it might be in some way of being selflessly that’s what binds us so I’m I’m speaking fighting struggling uh my entire life it comes and perfectly

Uh the sort of world that is that is built around battles that we wish share share what you have essentially well with an opportunity it could work and dignity of human being with sense of justice your own all of these I think so so it’s odd at this time to

Be to be described for these views uh for these beliefs for these struggles as a hard line of our constitution he said something very profound say many things that were profound but you said that you see we’ve listed Justice Liberty equality of Eternity as performance foundations of our

Constitution but he said that if out of these then something has to be the foundation of the foundation it has to be photography and why he says because Justice Liberty equality are possible without fraternity but you can only if they’re only possible without fraternity with the power of the

State behind it but he says if there is fraternity then Justice Liberty and equal to return the natural order one kind of compassion is that I am here you are here and you are the recipient of my comparison you just that when I meet you at this moment I have not suffered YouTube

And you are in great pain and loss and so I reach out to you but I acknowledge as I do it that a day can come when I will be suffering and in great loss and you will have you will reach out to me that is the reality

You know we had a leader who who taught us and and the majority of Indians supported and followed him uh I can tell you many more stories but we don’t have the time so that is to make my mind non-violence seems a sort of not something it’s actually something much more than

Not something it is the capacity uh to not hate and to love and to uh you know in in Universe his blast fast one of its demands I mean two weeks before he was assassinated you know when the refugees had come here in such large numbers in this many City Daily where I

Am speaking to you from uh one of the things that people had done was you know they said no mosques will be allowed no dangas and they had put into Idols in one of these and well his last you know boss this was one of the most important demands that that we must

Return these places you know we must uh you know two days of worship can be built around the hatred of anticipation of another and so with all respect we must return the more still that God was including in fact today and it was they say that you know even his closest

Allies like nehru and patil this too much hatred don’t do this at this time he said this is the only time I must do it and the first day they said there were 10 000 people in his support by the 50 100 000 people on the streets supporting his

Demand and and that is why we still have in India that that I that I can see the route we belong to and and that is what non-violence is Thank you
