Any idea, any society, need defence.
It was debated in the constitution convention of the US whether govt should collect tithe for the church. Because in Europe, that was the pattern: govt authorities used to collect tithe, and in many European countries, still do. The US founding fathers decided not to collect tithe for the church. The US govt not collecting tithe has finished Christianity in the US. Fact is, human beings rarely part with their possessions willingly, and even more rarely, they would do so on a regular basis. As I have written before, if taxation is made voluntary, govt would collect zero money. People won’t “donate” even for army without which they would lose ALL their possessions, including life. Any idea, any society, need defence. More so Hindu Dharma, under brutal, centuries long assault by the Abrahamic mafia.
Till 1947, there were Hindu kings who defended Hindu Dharma. In villages, dominant Hindu castes did not allow any Abrahamic nonsense. Hindu kings are gone, replaced by the abrahamised congress and vote bank managers it has spawned. In villages, castes have lost dominance because they neither have land now (fragmentation), nor numbers, as even poorest families have only one son who is busy preparing for a govt job. We are on a very precarious cusp. With hardly a decade available to do something about it. Collapse may come suddenly. We either find ways to finance full time warriors for Dharma soon, with whatever name we give it or with whatever example we promote it, or we disappear.
