To put it more simply if a Kshatriya's duty is to be a protector of the people, how should one go about doing that? Please don't respond with "join the police or military" since there is none that isn't corrupt. Thanks.
I am not an expert on Hindu Dharma or the varnas by any means, but I would like to give you my humble opinion.
The way I see it, protecting the people includes a broad spectrum of activity.
Protection from What or Whom?
Protection in my view can include any activity which prevents harm. How about environmentalism, for example, the GreenPeace organization? Or social/political activism by becoming an advocate for those less fortunate? Or become a writer,remember, the pen is mightier than the sword.
For a more specifice example, one could launch a campaign to help the women mentioned by TantrikGoddess in the thread "Let's Support these Brave Indian Women" in the forum on Conditions and Issues of Hindu Women Today"
These are a few ideas that came to me quickly while brainstorming this question.
