Shakti aur Kshama 2.0 - Bringing out the Lost Nuance

Here's the context and a video explanation of my poem अन्ध-बिन्दु - शक्ति और क्षमा 2.0.

Ramdhari Singh Dinkar's famed Shakti aur Kshama has, despite its brevity, been one of the greatest modern works of veera rasa, which has inspired generations of readers. Its message how the opportune use of power and violence is Dharma-compliant has impressed many, based on its splendid combination of persuasive logic and poetic excellence. A nuance within the Shakti-Kshama principle seems to have been lost on most of its admirers. It is this nuance that I try to expound on in this video.

The video has three parts explaining the following:

1. Dinkar's Shakti aur Kshama (00:00)

2. The lost nuance (23:57)

3. Shakti aur Kshama 2.0 (45:05)

I deeply feel that the poem will be of service to the reader and it is in this spirit alone that I present it here. I would be grateful to receive your feedback.
