An attack made in defence is a valid attack.
A question, what will you do if someone snatches your valuable belongings? Or what will you do if someone is trying to thrash you, or humiliate you publicly? If your answer is that you will stay calm and call the police to resolve the matter, then you are the most tolerant in the world. I mean that’s what one should do. If your answer is, to attack in the same way they did to you, that is your right. However, most laws do not allow you to take the law in hand to punish anyone. They ask you to complain to the police and law and then wait for justice. This may take years to resolve, whatever may be the reason. Now think, if the same questions are for your country, what will a country do, if someone tries to snatch the territory of that country? What if some countries try to humiliate you on international platforms? The Country has the full right to respond to such attacks. They will attack, either in a similar way or in different other pinching ways. An attack made in defence is a valid attack. If the country is not responding, that means Let me know in the comment section below if I have missed any reasons. 1) Definitions of Attack and Defence To understand this topic, we will first understand the definitions of ‘Attack’ and ‘Defence’. Once we grasp this, it will be good to understand the full context of this topic ‘An attack made in defence is a valid attack’. The definitions below are not from any reputed dictionary. This is the meaning I discovered by looking at the depth of these words. These may be a little immature but enough to understand our topic. Attack – A willful act intending to harm the dignity, sovereignty, chastity (of humans), purity (of things related to religion), innocence, demoralisation, or reputation, OR, to make losses to others, OR, to harm religious faith/belief/devotion, OR, to disarm, to create propaganda OR, to provoke the opposite person/country/organisation/charitable trust/NGO (Non-Gaining Organisations) etc. which will turn into arguments, fights, riots or war AND such willful acts involve arguments, writings, bullying with or without weapons, kidnapping, hostage, killing, crippling or incapacitating, neutralising, hurting with or without arms and ammunitions, fighting physically etc. AND such a list of willful acts and channels is not exhaustive AND such attack may be internal or external. Defence – A willful OR forceful act intending to counter, neutralise or demoralise the attacks made or planned to be made or anticipated or showcased to threaten OR to save the dignity, sovereignty, chastity (of humans), purity (of things related to religion), innocence, or reputation, OR, losses, OR, religious faith/belief/devotion, OR, eliminate or neutralise propaganda, provoking acts of the opposite person/country/organisation/charitable trust/NGO (Non-Gaining Organisations) etc. AND such willful or forceful acts and channels listed are not exhaustive. 2) Explanation of the definitions Looking at the definitions, we can comment on the following 3) Defence is a valid and legal attack – Please note an important point, if the fights are within the country’s own ‘persons’, their attack in defence is a little tricky to understand. I will leave it to the laws of that country. I neither support nor recommend any ‘attack’ or ‘attack in defence’. We will speak about international politics. That country may take action as deemed fit for them. Every country must respect the sovereignty of other countries. Even if country ‘A’ is not involved in any fight with another country ‘B’ but finds that country or countrymen (including all genders) are doing something tragic within or outside of that country, then country ‘A’ can comment on it or take necessary actions against it. I am sure, you will cut off all trades, counterattack or defend your territory, take the help of your friendly country, kill the top officers of that country if you have the guts to do that, and hide yourself from any attack on you. Once the war ends, you will start rebuilding the country and its morale. You will bring more advanced defence systems, advanced fighter jets, and missiles, and recruit more in the army, navy and air force. All this is understood. Then how can we say, we cannot defend ourselves? If we can’t say so, then it is proved that an attack in defence is valid. Such an attack is to defend territories, businesses, the corporate world, energy generating units, civilians, women and the whole country’s dignity and sovereignty. 4) Two sides of the coins There are two sides to the coin ‘attack’ and ‘attack in defence’. The two sides are – 1) one group of countries may feel the attack is valid, and 2) another group may condemn it commenting the attack is not valid. Who is right? The answer is given in an ancient mythological story called ‘Mahabharat’ in which real god Shri Hari Vishnu’s incarnation (Avatar) as Lord Shri Krishna has advised all human beings on the earth. Nearly 5000 plus years B.C. an advanced civilisation existed. The entire world had only one religion ‘Sanatan’ which is also called ‘Hindus’ now. Just like a world war in modern times, the biggest war happened between one family. Cousins’ v/s cousins. Kauravas v/s Pandavas. In that war, Lord Shri Krishna advised about which act is treated as valid and justified even if it is destructive. Lord Shri Krishna spoke to his favourite devotee ‘Arjun’. Later the same was mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita. This book is readily available anywhere in the world. This is not a religious book but it teaches us the way to live life, the way to come closer to God, the way to reduce the effects of your ‘Karma’. ‘Karma’ means the good, bad, meaningful, meaningless, unnecessary, important, knowingly unknowingly things you do throughout your life. कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ Pronunciation in English Karmanye vadhika raste, Ma phaleshu kadachanaMa karma phala he tur bhuh, ma te sangotsva karmani The meaning of
