Peace is for dreamers and preachers

Peace is for dreamers and preachers, because war and death are the only reality on Earth.  Yes, people (and the Indian government) dream of peace because they don’t wish to face the truth.  Peace is not for a nation on the march, or a corporation in competition.  To ignore the need of the times is to do so at one’s own peril.
And here, it must be recalled that the world’s great empires were forged by the force of arms: The ancient Persians – the world’s first great civilization; Rome that ruled the “known world” for 400 years, including the British Isles; the Mauryan empire that stretched from Assam to Sindh, and Vijayanagar to Afghanistan, and which had Sri Lanka as a vassal state; the fantastic empire of Cengiz Khan; The vast Hapsburg empire in Central Europe; the Ottoman empire that stretched from the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Aden to Eastern Europe; the conquests of Islam that spanned from Spain to Chinese Turkestan, and past India into Indonesia; The empire of Great Britain on whose empire the sun never set; the Napoleonic empire that ruled all mainland Europe; or the world’s sole great superpower today – USA, built themselves to that level by the strength of their resources, the power of their arms, the passion in their hearts, and the might of their militaries.  Even Japan and Germany that shook the world in World Wart II, which resulted in the beginning of the collapse of the colonial era – a great blessing – was thrust on the world by war.  Thus, war also saves and liberates people.  We must not forget that war can be a blessing.
War is what makes the world go around and gather motion and momentum – not peace.  We are forever improving in our technology, which is a testimony to the war we fight everyday to overcome the temptations of laziness and sloth.  It is not in the human’s DNA to not improve, not seek protection, not seek security, or not become better than one’s competition.
It was war that freed the Sikhs from the yoke of the Mughals and Muslim oppression; it was war that carved the Sikh identity; it was war that spurred the Marathas, the Cholas, and the Guptas; it was war that saved the allies in World War II: can you imagine what would have happened had the USA decided to not enter the war, saying that it was a peace-loving nation?
