At last, a Gold! It is joyous feeling to see so many of us, young, winning in various sports!
To me, sports is to shape the warrior within, be it hockey or athletic events or boxing or wrestling!
If you donโt teach war-simulation games to kids, by not giving them toy-weapons (such sports that demands all warrior skills!), by keeping them away from games like Kabbadi, kho-kho, kusti, you help them in becoming weak and dependent citizens.
Instead of avoiding war-simulations altogether, teach them right usage! Impart correct value system!
Insects donโt have values, canโt protect self and get crushed first in giant and powerful wave.
We should build an army that doesnโt require salaries. The supporting arm for real Army! And that is only possible at sportsground!
What next after sports? Military training!
When we develop patriotism in the citizens and offer them military training, they become nonsalaried army in the time of need. We also need to instill dharmic-fervor in them. Dharma is the concept that uplifts animism into humanism and humanism into God-consciousness.
Bring together every citizen between ages 16 and 40 of every village into one place on a regular basis. Give them military training. Make it a sportive event. Instill discipline while training them in military skills. Make them sing patriotic songs. Identify suitable instructors in each village. This should not appear as an activity done for the state. It should appear as a sportive event for the benefit and entertainment of public. The king must establish indirect control on these village committees and encourage them as necessary.
Such activities instill unity and friendship among villagers. In times of need the villages will not only become self-protective but also offer trained army to kingโs battles. This is an army without salary or state-budget. It has unlimited capacity (numbers).
May the winners be our inspiration, but we must not stop here!
