A militant Hindu monk has been elected to lead India’s largest state, and he is rabidly anti-Muslim.
It is one thing to notice, comment and have opinions around what is going on in our home, community, country and the world. It is another to take action. I have personally taken many tracks including demonstrating, burying my head, complaining, and manipulation; none of which have had any lasting effect on the situation(s) of concern.
