A questioner, Rohit Razdan, a Kashmiri Pandit, shares that after watching the film 'The Kashmir Files', he was prompted to understand the 1990 exodus. He recounts his family's experience of fleeing Kashmir, the slogans they heard ("We want freedom with Pandit women, but without Pandit men"), and their feeling of helplessness. His family members express regret for not uniting and fighting back, attributing their flight to cowardice and a lack of unity. They believe that if they had all gathered at the military cantonment, the outcome might have been different, and even if they had died fighting, it would have been better than the painful deaths many suffered later. Acharya Prashant addresses the core issue behind this historical and ongoing suffering. He explains that if one does not recognize their real weakness, they will be defeated repeatedly. He states that anger alone cannot win wars; a "cold strength" is required, as major battles are not won by a "hot surge" of emotion. He points out that the tendency to suppress painful memories, as the questioner's family did, is a coping mechanism but also a form of weakness. He says that the mind chooses to forget what is painful, and this is a form of surrender to circumstances and an acceptance of one's own weakness. Delving deeper, Acharya Prashant explains that strength in humans comes from two sources: the purely animalistic (physical force) or pure consciousness (strength of the soul, or Atma-bal). He posits that the Sanatani (Hindu) is trapped in the middle. Their heritage of wisdom from the Rishis prevents them from becoming completely animalistic, thus denying them brute force. However, they also fail to embrace pure consciousness (Vedanta, Gita), instead getting entangled in superstitions, empty rituals, and myths. This state of being "neither here nor there" is the fundamental weakness. They are deprived of both animal strength and the strength of the soul. Acharya Prashant asserts that the issue is not limited to Kashmir or 1990 but is a pattern of defeat spanning over a thousand years, seen across various regions. The solution, he advises, is not hate, which further weakens, but knowledge (Gyan). He cites the example of Arjun, whose strength came from the knowledge of the Gita, not hatred. The root cause is an internal, spiritual deficiency. The only way to ensure such injustice does not happen again is to address this internal weakness.
