There was a danger of blood bath in India that would be worse than what happened after the partition in 1948 if every Indian did not work with the sense of justice and fair play to strengthen the democracy. Why did Mr. Avinash Dharmadhikari said this?

Mr. Avinash Dharmadhikari had spoken about his views on how India functions within a system where everything is hap-hazard and unorganized . He shared with us a few impactful examples and incidents, which made us believe that there is always a silver lining, I.E a belief that change would eventually come about. He started with an example of Gandhi Ji – Since he was considered a threat by the East India Company.  The British’s arrested him and took him to the district magistrate. He then and there said you have to leave the district, Gandhi ji asked why? Since Gandhi ji himself was a lawyer he asked them on what charge and the Sp standing there said he doesn’t like him so he has to leave the district. Gandhi ji smiled and looked at the crowd standing there and said but they do not want him to leave, after this the magistrate and sp were unable to levy any charge on Gandhi ji. There were many incidences where India lacked; one was judiciary where some of our leaders were unable to resolve their internal issues so to give justice to them, British judge came and gave the justice. This was an insult to our judiciary system. Because of unity, twenty seven thousand British people ruled a country which was as big as a continent having population of fourty crore . Mr. Avinash was very clear in this thought process and triggered some current issues as the Ajmal Kasab Case , parliament attack on 13th December 2001 , and social media threat to north Indians. According to him India is heading towards severe blood bath be it terrorism, naxalism, civil war, caste war, communal war and all forces which tear India due to politics. There is no conclusion to this, riots and everything result into backlash and social media is largely used to, everything has to be restricted, he said he is not pessimist he is saying we should come with solutions and work on it and it’s a twofold process, civil society gathers enough strength and are aware according to him Indian politicians are not the real heroes but Indian soldiers are they saved the disaster which was goanna destroy the parliament with the help of few terrorists. Here terrorists wanted to destroy the parliament and blow it away and come into limelight. Terrorists were killed by our brave soldiers and saved the disaster; crpf jawans were the one who performed their duties without getting the recognition. Again, he explained how Tukaram umbrae gave his life to catch Kasab and save Mumbai from him to destroy further….he explained how Kasab was caught by our brave policemen on marine drive. Ombade chased terrorists on his scooter. Therefore, in the end he says few good men can save India. If we perform our duties
