"Shiva also continues Indra’s role of warrior-god. Till today, many Shiva sadhus are proficient in the martial arts. ‘The Shaiva war-cry Hara Hara Mabadeva is still used by some regiments of the Indian army. It is a very effective battlefield mantra instilling fear in the enemies of Hinduism, as was clear from the secularists’ demand to cut out the Hara Hara Mahadeva sequences from the Chanakya TV-serial (broadcast in truncated version on Door-darshan in 1992)."
