Might is power

I was watching the interview of Richard Gere with Karan. The discussion of contribution to society came about to be discussed. Why is it necessary for an American to bring out issues in India? Is it that we are blind or act blind and think ignorance is bliss. Probably its bliss as long as one doesn't realize the truth but the minute one realizes the truth, doesn't it prick one's conscience? There are many ways to look at it. But the truth of the hour is that the amount of awareness that this chap is bringing to the society is not brought up by us.
There was also a discussion about Tibet - I was also watching the video documentary on Tibet and how the Chinese invaders forced the Tibetans to move out of Tibet , which included the DalaiLama. Its a sad state of affairs that in this modern age of science and technology, there exists still engulfment, enroachment, forceful execution and such other factors. Although force is a means to make people bow, its an act of oppression and not choice and what good is that to anyone? All that remains at the end is an act of hatred, sorrow and tears.
I was watching through the history channel and it was eminent everywhere - from the days of mohd Ghazini to Babur to Akbar to Tibet to India - the mighty have always oppressed and driven away the weak - there just doesnot seem to be a way to fight them.
Buddha's and Gandhi's non-violence and satyagraha - all prove detrimental in this age of oppression and warfare. If I take up a fast like how Gandhi did some years back, why will anyone even care abt a dying soul? Its just another body for them! and to an extent - rightly so.
Finally, it all boils down to the fact that the might still holds power - be it the kinds of people like the GodFather or the Chinese over Tibet or the powerful Richard Gere over the masses or the super nations over ailing nations.
Is that why , possibly even Krishna seems to have stopped listening to the needy and listening to the powerful?
