A myth called international law

 It has repeatedly been proved that the international law is nothing more than a myth. Briefly, the wisest had put it in writing long ago, “Samrath ko nahi dos Gusai”. It means the powerful can’t be blamed. The violence used for religion or proselytization produces dictators. It leads to wars or tyranny if it can survive. International law was created and used for the same purpose. Wasn’t the UNO dead decades ago? Only the weak speak passionately for international law. Law students spend more than 20% of the time on mastering this attractive topic. It can procrastinate conflicts but can never produce solutions. Wars and pestilence hit the mankind. History of the world for the last 100 years supports it. Those who neither anticipate nor change radically in time, fall! The Mahabharat presents the best lesson: Asvathama Hato, naro va kunjaro va. The change in India in the last one decade has brought about the most valuable change in Indian policy. The advocates of the dead policy are shouting hoarse. We are ready to face the challenge of the emerging neo colonialism. India stands as the only shining example of peace advocacy.
