Ram Mandir, Donation or Extortion : A thread

These saffron clad people came to my home and my dad being himself asked these extortionists for their details when they stepped inside my house, to which they harshly said they were Karsevaks, while asking my dad his name, gotra etc.

My dad not wanting to invite trouble took a 200 rupee note out to get rid of them, to which they refused and said they don't even have a receipt for less than ₹1000, and people were donating lakhs, trying to shame him.
My father countered by saying if it was a donation he'll give whatever he wants and that he was an educated person who could sense if it was not a genuine donation drive.

To which they harshly said : "Parhe likhe nahin hain tab hi toh Laal Qile jaise kaand ho jaate hain"
And noted down our house number and left without taking the donation, in a manner that seemed like a subtle threat.

All the extortion going on is going to be used for funding of Saffron Clad Riot Causing Local Militia, which will next terrorize your own neighborhood. Mark this
These saffron clad men won't even cut a receipt for less than a Rs 1000, they don't miss a single house, no one dares ask a question if they're legitimate out of the fear of being marked as an "anti-national" or not hindu enough in front of their neighbors.
There is a deep sense of fear in hearts of those who live around and the way they ask for donation is hardly asking, they're passive aggressive, they step right inside your homes, if you ask them any details, they try to shame you.

What is this monster we have created ?

Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+


Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+

It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+

My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.

But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+

Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
