Am even okay with all our infighting.
My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.

When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."

Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!
So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.
