I know importance of income, it's one of four purusharthas. "Artha" is needed, no denying it. But when you are already in a civilizational battle, wherein many powers trying day in and day out to destroy you for decades, ONLY money will not help you.
That's where WE come in. The people who have the time and energy to do something should start taking up the battle. There are a few initiatives taken by some right minded individuals and we should give our support in whatever way possible. We should also lobby the govt, the political class about these issues and try to put pressure on the appropriate people. But just keep complaining about "nothing happening" and jeopardising the next election (which is a real threat given our history in 2004) is not only ignorant, but outright dangerous, considering people like you know that we are in a civilisational battle.
Good that we arrived at this point, now this is where I feel we indics are at terrible disadvantage. Look at the other side who work for their cause, they have protection : money, legal, media, political. What do we have? We are left to fend for ourselves, during our need, who'll come to our assistance? To illustrate my point just saw in twitter, advocate Prashant Patel has offered help to the now transferred passport officer, who did absolutely NOTHING wrong. We don't even know if he is BJP supporter and all, he just because he did his job, and he is punished by the govt that's supposed to be neutral.
You are right, there has been a change in attitude of common hindu, but there's no cohesion, we remain individuals and not a group because there's nobody to give us that platform. MAD are ruthless when it comes to winning elections, they understand they need power, without it they can't do anything. Similarly, such power is needed to provide a protective umbrella for indics who have taken up the battle, the protective umbrella that other side thoroughly enjoys.
To give an example, someone shared pics of X'es in public land built illegally in TN (we can see them everywhere across India now a days), he is an advocate who can take up the case. NOW, if he were indeed to take up the case, will he have same support from the powers that be, which the "other" side will get massively and undoubtedly as we all know?
it's this protective umbrella that we wish and seek from MAD. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask.
