Pahalgam Attack Chanakya Niti: Chanakya Niti also talks about situations related to emergency, war and attack etc. Let us know what you should do as a citizen at this time.

Pahalgam Attack Chanakya Niti: Terrorists are ruthless, violent and evil, who deliberately target civilians to spread violence in society. The same thing happened in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, there is an atmosphere of grief as well as anger in the country. There is a demand for strict action against the terrorists everywhere. It is being speculated that after this a war may break out between India and Pakistan. But Acharya Chanakya has explained in detail in his policies what you should do as a citizen in such a situation.
What to do in case of an attack or national crisis
At the turn of life, many situations, good and bad, come. But some sudden situations shake up life. Acharya Chanakya has told many ways of living life in his policies through shlokas, one of which is what should be your duties as a citizen in an environment like violence, tension or attack in the country. What should you do if there is an attack or a crisis situation in the country. Along with this, Chanakya also tells how one should behave with evil people like terrorists.
In his shloka, Acharya Chanakya has said that evil people and thorns are the same. To get rid of them, either crush them or move away from them. Having any kind of relationship or relation with them can be harmful for you. If we look at this shloka of Chanakya in the context of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, then according to the situation after the attack, evil thorns like terrorists should also be crushed.
Through this shloka, Chanakya tells us in his policy that we should do good to those who do good to us, retaliate against the violent and do evil to the wicked. There is nothing wrong in this. If we look at this shloka in the context of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, then we should respond to the violence, murder and cruelty of the terrorists in the same way.
Natyantam sarlen bhavyam gatva pashya vanasthalim. Chhidyante saralaastra kubjastisthanti padapaah.
Through this shloka, Chanakya tells that a person should not be too straightforward and simple. Because in the forest, straight trees are cut down. Whereas the crooked ones are left. This means that anyone can easily take unfair advantage of a straight person. But a person who is smart and cunning can sense the coming crisis in advance.
