Another exciting weekend in KL but I was in Penang for another commitment. However, I pondered: If I was in KL, would I have participated in this yet another peaceful march?

I would have for the Bersih march, but for this one, I paused to think again.

Why? For one, I am not sure that, theologically, Hindus' can take part in any forceful action, as the name of this organisation suggests. If one is a true and real practicing Hindu, forcefull ways of doing things is never a real or serious option. That is why the Great Hindu leader, Mahatma Ghandi preached and practiced non-violent peace marches - with the most famous being the Great Salt March of historic repute. Our marchers also carried his photographs as symbols, maybe to amplify their peaceful intentions. I hope they are well understood by the rest of us; who may appear to be innocent, or even the non-innocent on-lookers.
