The secret of the immortality of the Indian civilisation is Ahimsa or nonviolence, towards all living beings, including animals and insects. It is the Ahimsa of the brave. It is about not harming or exploiting anyone, in any shape or form. It does not mean pacifism or not retaliating against aggression. Ahimsa is about peace and compassion. India is now on the cusp of becoming a world leader again and its values will guide an increasingly unstable and violent world. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in History when India will fulfil its responsibilities to mankind.
