We must ensure that Hindu voices are heard, that justice is served for the victims, and that future generations can practice their faith without fear. The protection of Hindu Dharma is not merely a religious obligation but a national imperative, vital for the peace, harmony, and integrity of Bharat. We must, therefore, remain vigilant, strengthen our resolve, and dedicate ourselves to upholding the eternal values of Sanatan Dharma.
