Genghis Khan — he was fighting wars all his life. Somehow, he spared India. But the rest of Asia and some parts of even Europe — he totally vandalized. Vandalized to the extent that a very high percentage of people in Central Asia to this date carry his genes. He impregnated so many women. That seemed to be one of his major motivations: "If I win the war, I get to impregnate the women. Forty in a day." Imagine — entire populations bear the stamp of his genes. War and women—they always go together. Because they come from the same center.

Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji. I wanted to discuss with you the, you know, the recent abuse on Mr. Vikram Misri and his daughter. As he announced the ceasefire, they were — like — it was badly trolled, and people were not happy because the two forces decided to do the ceasefire, and he was just announcing it. And then people went as far as digging out details of his daughter and publishing it on social media, to a point that he had to really go protect it on his Twitter account.
So I just wanted to see your perspective on this particular attitude of weaponizing the daughters, because there's a respect or dignity attached for a father or family. It was quite disturbing, but I really wondered if we could have an in-depth conversation on this.
Acharya Prashant: Battles involve women, someway or the others. Please see the connection, there is somebody within the man — and most wars have been fought by men — there is something within the men that craves for territory, craves for respect. That same thing also craves for women. And therefore, we find such a strange thing: that while women have actively not fought many wars, they have been subtly at the center of a lot of wars.
