Physiologically human beings belong to the animal kingdom. Like all other animals man is the child of nature. We do not differ from other animals so far as our fundamental physiological functions and requirements are concerned. But man is the most specialized of all the creations of nature and the most complex one. Mother Nature has provided man with two special attributes which make him so very different from other animals – the power to think and the power to remember. Nature equipped man with these two powers of thought and memory, giving him a very highly complex brain in addition to other instincts which the man has in common with other animals. Another specialty of man has been a highly dexterous hand and equipped with these special tools man appeared on the earth and learned to live with nature just like other creatures. He used his brain and hands in his struggle for survival and thus, progressed. Culture is the outcome of an evolutionary process in the course of man’s successful survival on earth advancing on the two wings of thought and memory. While thinking is the process by which culture grows, memory keeps it attached to its origin giving continuity to man’s existence in the world and helping him to evaluate his new thoughts. Men adapted with the nature in a harmonious way with his special attributes and began to thrive. Our culture represents the outcome of this process of adaptation made by man in order so satisfy his fundamental requirements. Culture is the way man satisfies his basic physiological needs in addition to the more subtle and complex mental needs created due to the presence of a thinking brain on his head. Men’s organizing into a society of cooperative living – integrating the interests of all the numbers of the society into a single whole represented an adaptation of man to survive together in a noncompetitive manner by an equitable division of labor. Many social institutions evolved in the process and served their purpose well by helping men in his pursuit of satisfaction and happiness in life in a way not harming the interests of the society as whole. Wisdom for the good of mankind. Religion is the fundamental institution of human society founded on man’s wisdom. Religion establishes links between man and man and man and his environment in a fruitful manner to ensure a harmonious life in accordance with the natural law. This establishes superiority of wisdom over thought which if allowed absolute freedom of action could cause great harm to humanity and the nature. Religion is the fundamental institution of human society ensuring harmony of thought with nature thus providing psychological and social security to mankind. This ensured that the basic physiological needs of the society as a whole could be provided for through joint efforts of all the able bodied members without violation the guidelines laid down by the nature. As already said a shift from food gathering to food producing economy marked a great event in the history of mankind. This was the first great technological breakthrough – the first and the real technological revolution effected by man. Till this time there was no much difference between man and animal with all the able bodied men hunting and food gathering and women doing the less strenuous jobs. Everybody had the same profession of hunting for food which was available to all without any difference. The major difference between an agrarian economy and the primitive food gathering one is that in agriculture it takes few men to produce food for much larger population, sparing a number of members of the society for other activities. A shift to horticulture, animal breeding and intensive agriculture depending upon the flora and fauna available, appeared in different parts of the world. The yield of food pre unit area is much greater in agriculture and animal breeding as compared to food gathering from nature giving increased population sustaining capacity to land while engaging fewer man in food production. Increased availability of food caused an increase in population. This spared a section of population from production of food marking the beginning of civilization and emergence of city states. The spared men took up other specialized activities like weaving, making tools and implements, defence, religious services etc. etc. The degree of specialization achieved in various societies of the world depended upon the agricultural yields available to that particular society causing differentiation in the proportion of the society spared from food production with highest yielding system sparing the largest number of people for other specialized jobs. As the prosperity of the society also depends upon the yields from the land, it also determined the level of prosperity and specialization achieved by that particular civilization. These spared men too had to be engaged in activities beneficial and useful for the society and to preserve their fundamentals rights over the fruits of labour. A specialized division of labour began to take place and thus developed various social institutions and economic activities including trade, commerce and manufacturing of various goods and services so that the whole society could exist in a co-operative and balanced form under changed circumstances. Growth of religion, trade, commerce, science, technology, literature and arts etc. etc. with the wisdom of man playing the dominant role through religion effectively controlling the power of thoughts not to allow it to unleash its destructive power is the result of this process of evolution of mankind in interaction with the nature. Priests, artisans, craftsmen, medicine men traders, warriors and administrator appeared in the process with the society enjoining various specialized responsibilities on the members of the society spared from agriculture. This represented the evolution of an optimum division of labour in the best interests of the society. This natural adaptation to the new demographic and technological developments to serve the basic purpose of the society of satisfying physiological and mental needs of all the members of the society submitting to its code of conduct with deviations being suitably punished. India has been the luckiest land on earth so far as availability of natural resources is concerned. Abundance of solar energy, the great Himalayas and the triveni of bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian sea has provided India with gigantic river systems and vast, immensely fertile valleys and flood plains which grew gold for India all over the ages, dense natural vegetation and other resources giving enormous potential for the growth of animal breeding, intensive agriculture and horticulture combined together – the basic activities of the Indian cultivator who reaped the fruits of nature through all the three available modes of food production making him enviably prosperous. Man in India by interaction intelligently with nature and using his wisdom laid the foundations of the greatest and the richest civilization in the world with highly developed and advanced socio-economic specialization resulting into the growth of thriving industry, arts, literature, greatest empires in the world and a surplus economy importing gold in return for her exports and earnings worldwide and earning respect for the contribution to the world in the field of culture. Indian life represented growth of mankind in perfect harmony with nature and itself. Intensive agriculture practiced in the Indus valley civilization with extremely good yields spared a large section of population for other activities and the adaptive adjustments resulted into the growth of a number of commercial and social activities leading to the growth of the most prosperous and advanced civilization in the world and growth of a highly specialized and flourishing industry. All the members of the society were fruitfully and productively engaged by the society in different activities other than agriculture. The civilization shows remarkable scientific and technological achievements made by India of those times, the pure and the most powerful brains in the society being made the bearers of the torch of wisdom. Such an environment of abundance and affluence was very conductive to the growth of knowledge – man’s tool to learn more about nature and to enjoy her benefits and fruits in a cooperative manner conforming to the natural laws and treating nature as mother of all creatures. Fine arts and literature developed almost to the level of perfection to cater to the finer subtleties of mind and soul in leisure time and the culture percolated down to the grass root level is evident from the findings made by the historians. So the development of science, technology, fine arts, folk arts, trade and commerce etc. in India in its totality represented a process of growth of a culture in harmony with nature by intelligently adapting to the environment. This is called evolution. This was the progress of mankind in a particular part of the world which resulted into the evolution of a prefect socio-economic system to ensure a happy and peaceful co-existence of man with nature over a span of several thousand years. The system helped man to exist with nature for thousands of years until it was finally destroyed by British imperialism. A balanced use of thought memory and wisdom resulted into the growth of a healthy and prosperous society with people of India having enough leisure and resources to perfect their knowledge and technology thanks to her fertile flood plains producing a lot of surplus and the trade bringing in gold from all over the world establishing her mental, spiritual and material supremacy over the world. The three most important factors responsible for India’s great achievement may be short listed as follows : 1. Abundance of natural resources. 2. Successfully tapping the resources through science and technology. 3. An optimum division of labor leading to a balanced growth of society meeting the basic requirements of the individual as well as the society in harmony with nature. India’s material superiority which made her establish her cultural supremacy over the world was thus the natural outcome of the evolution of a balanced socio-economic system by successfully using the available resources, satisfactorily performing its functions of catering to the needs of the society as well as the individual – the basic unit of society – giving equal importance to individual liberty and prosperity and social stability. This represented a remarkable growth of society and the individual in a balanced way so as not to allow the one to infringe upon the rights of another. By ensuring socio-economic and physiological security and satisfaction of both the individual and the society and the subsistence of the individual in a non-competitive way through the caste system, India laid the foundation of her great civilization excelling in thought and action. This was the material superiority of the country with due regards to human dignity and liberty within an stipulated social framework of checks and balances imposing reasonable social-economic restrictions which was responsible for our strides in all fields of human endeavor. The entire social order represented a perfect adaptation of man to nature with both contributing to the safety and well being of other. Indian socio-economic super structure based on caste system despite all its so called weaknesses and shortcomings acted as an effective means of redistribution of India’s material and cultural wealth to all the people paving way for a harmonious social order giving India, the top place in the world for the thousands of years of civilized history. In economic terms the caste system as a means to country’s socio-economic ends guarded the individual as well as the society against each other with a particular profession being reserved for every member of the society as a birth right ensuring progress of both. Unemployment and resulting social turmoil were unheard of in India of those days. This was the basic reason behind India’s material and cultural supremacy. A judicious use of available natural resources with optimum use of national manpower, castes represented different organs of the society performing their assigned function, the thread of economic cooperation linking all of them together. The underlying cultural unity of the Indian society reflects this economic integration of the society in a non competitive manner. We achieved excellence without competition by adequately satisfying the fundamental physical and spiritual needs of the individual in the society. Every member of the society was assured of complete socio-economic security through caste system. The evolution of India’s economic system based on cooperation ensured a natural balance between industry, agriculture and the service-sector, preserving the natural right of every human being on the gifts of nature giving an unmatched richness of thought and wealth and a stable social order ensuring harmonious progress of mankind. India’s productive system in its totality represented a natural adaptation with the environment in the best possible manner serving the interest of mankind in general by spreading the message of peace, love and friendship throughout the world along with her varied, rich industrial exports. Outsides coming to India from other less advanced cultures were smoothly absorbed by our socio-economic system and we find that the caste system representing economic specialization absorbed even the egalitarian Islamic society though they kept many of their original cultural traits alive. India’s economic superiority remained intact attraction all the formidable powers of the world to conquer India for her wealth throughout the history, until the destruction of her social order based on economic reciprocity and cooperation and her productive system - the basic instrument of generating enormous wealth and its redistribution among the people of India. Thus began the downfall of the greatest culture and economic system of the world due to some of her own inherent weaknesses giving political unstability to the country and due to the sheer and nacked greed of he west, being nourished on their geographical poverty and stories of India’s enormous wealth circulation in the world since Alexander’s time and even before, getting the tools of thought and using their newly acquired power to satisfy their greed for India’s wealth nurtured over the ages. This is the story of victory of thought over wisdom. Caste system was the basic of India’s social, economic and political organization with effective checks and balances built-in against misuse of power,the side effect of human civilization resulting out of social stratification and concentration of political and economic power in the civilized society. The system effected economic and political organization of the society into guilds of artisans, traders and workmen having considerable powers and with an elected executive striking an economic balance of power within the society. These guilds through their representation in various village, city and state level autonomous popular councils contributed their share in the administrative and political affairs of the state representing in essence a strong democratic political set up with every interest group in the population enjoying powers to get its interests looked after. Village and city administration and municipal bodies were in complete control of such elected popular assemblies. Satisfaction of the basic social, political and economic needs of every member of the society was the sacred duty of the state any default in which was severely dealt with by the people and the system itself as this was the basis of economic, political and social organization on the society – the system being the result of thousands of years of evolution of a people in a particular environment. The state ensured employment to all –acting almost perfectly as a welfare state with the centralized political power having almost nothing to do with the social organization and life of the people, their economic activities soliciting minimum state control. This was socialism with liberty. This explains unity in diversity existing in India for thousands of years. The individual was induced to strive hard for the welfare of the society by linking the well being and prosperity of the individual with that of the society. The system produced great scholars and scientists who unrevealed the mysteries of nature with their deep insight using a blend of thought and wisdom. They also worked hard to heel the psychological wounds inflicted upon the individuals by the society in its natural course of civilization caused by increased economic inequalities and concentration of political and economic power so as to reconcile different organs of the society and to maintain the social equilibrium and stability by prevention unnecessary exploitation and resultant social reaction. The necessary evils of civilization were brought to a bare minimum.. The abject material and cultural poverty of the west for thousands of years due to scarcity of natural resources gave birth to a semi-civilized culture. Comparatively speaking it was a barbaric culture spending most of its time and energies in satisfying their physiological needs and lacking in the fineries of mind and richness of material culture. Stories of India’s wealth and resources circulated allover the world and the thought of the west was mainly centered on somehow acquiring India’s wealth to remove their poverty. They did not have the insight of wisdom to understand the secrets of nature. This was a culture which murdered all its prophets even before they could really contribute their share of acquired wisdom to the welfare of the society – a society which had no place for the virtues of mankind in its single minded pursuit of material in an economy of scarcity with fierce social competition. The first known organized attempt of the west to satisfy its lust for India’s gold was made by Alexander the Great in fourth century B.C. but the defense line of Indian system foiled the attempt. Chanakya, the great Indian thinker, gave India a great king known a Chandragupta Maurya who made India a single united power to meet, the oncoming threat to Indian civilization and India decisively defeated the western invasions following the attack by Alexander the Great. But the greed of the west was never subdued. Historical events resulting into division and subsequent destruction of Roman Empire put the western civilization drifting through the dark ages, the Turkish Empire blocking all commercial and cultural links between the east and the west resulting into increased poverty, social competition and exploitation. Europe was left on its own dependent almost entirely upon her meager natural resources. A gradual increase in the economic activity in Europe due to increasing adventurism and commercial contacts with the Arab world with Italy taking the lead via Mediterranean brought the knowledge earned by mankind in India and other advanced civilizations to Europe resulting into a cultural synthesis called renaissance and reformation. They gained the knowledge of the world without evolving it themselves and developing and using the accompanying wisdom since wisdom of a culture is the result of evolution of that society in its specific environment and can not be acquired from outside. Thus, power of thought through knowledge without the discretion and balancing provided by wisdom was placed into the hands of a greedy and deficient people – the ruling and trading classes of Britain who with the acquisition of considerable trading wealth began to think of renewing their unforgotten drive to acquire the wealth bestowed by nature upon the people of India for which she had been so famous throughout the ages. The concept of nationhood and democracy were used to unite all powerful classes of the western society to this end, dismantling the existing feudal order which had become a hindrance in their designs. The old fabric and power centers of the European society were destroyed. This helped commercial reorganization of economy and so began the story of modern capitalism along with the concept of modern western nationalism. Parliamentary type of representative democracy with a capitalist control system built-into it evolved to replace the old institutions. This was exactly when they were letting lose in India the feudal exploitation of the worst kind which was to continue for two centuries. The growth of the so called capitalist economic system and its accompanying socio-political institutions were chiefly to cater to the needs and increase scope of earning for a particular class of the society at the cost of the rest by first exploiting their own labor including slaves and then developing machines to replace the laborers in order to increase the margins of profit. It did not come through free human enterprise but through plunder, piracy and by degrading humanity with all its values and great traditions to the status of a mere economic resource, a lifeless commodity and a source of profit. Their concepts of nationhood and democracy embodied distorted notions of human freedom, dignity and liberty evolved as political ideology of modern capitalism. It did not mean real respect for humanity and human dignity as is quite evident from their acts committed in India during the same period. Old institutions in the society were replaced by new ones with Britain taking the lead. An entirely new system of economic organization of the society came into being in the west. The basic motive force behind the process was the greed for wealth which was given free expression with the power of thought without wisdom. We can import the knowledge of a nation but we can not import its wisdom, its living mind which is the result of a long process of evolution in a particular environment and is the cultural heritage of that particular population. Wisdom is the intellectual instinct of mankind. It gives the insight to understand nature and her course and not to interfere with it. The power of knowledge acquired with wisdom can help humanity greatly but if acquired and developed without wisdom can lead to great disaster by making wrong use of knowledge, violating the natural law, thus disturbing the thread of relationship between man and nature and between man and man since man is a part of nature. Growth of the present capitalist system of socio-economic organization or rather disorganization was the result of the enterprise and daredevilry of a few men all out to gain wealth outside Europe without fulfilling the pre-requisite of developing the human ethics and understanding human values properly. The productive system of traditional, naturally, evolved economy, became the target of capitalism with the tools of modern science and technology and enormous trading and pirating wealth accumulated by the powerful capitalist class. The new productive system uprooted even the mightiest culture of the world in capitalist pursuit of wealth and power. It took the form of an invisible plunder and loot. Power of through without wisdom caused the knowledge of mankind to go to the wrong hands and a distorted growth of knowledge itself. A very fast and unnatural growth of modern science and technology took place in Great Britain ushering in the Industrial Revolution. An unbalanced and even cancerous growth of knowledge infested by the germs of greed became the weapon of destruction of a social order performing its basic functions of satisfying human needs and wants satisfactorily as a result of human evolution. By some great historical process evolution was pushed out by revolution, breaking the continuity of evolution. Evolution is the process of interaction of man’s wisdom and thought with nature. This revolution was the result of growth of knowledge guided not mainly by human wisdom but by human greed. Thus, this was not free from serious and disastrous side effects. Since the new system was the result of an unnatural revolutionary process under pressure of human greed- the greatest enemy of mankind – the motive force for corruption – and was not evolved naturally by the society as a whole to fulfill its needs, it has some inherent defects which caused untold misery to mankind with the increasing pace of this revolution. The most fundamental defect in this system is that it can look after the economic interests of only a limited section of humanity at the cost of the rest and nature thus including a destructive struggle and competition for survival in the society. The real success of the new system lies in successfully using its distorted knowledge to destroy the old productive system of the society based on natural law and evolved as an instrument of sustaining the society in order, the basic prerequisite for the development of any civilization and culture. This system destroyed the existing one having an inbuilt redistributive mechanism performing the basic economic functions of the society. This has taken away the livelihood of a large section of humanity following the huge labor displacement and causing the concentration of society’s wealth in a few hands by cornering the genuine share of the rest through the use of capital, power and knowledge and due to general ignorance about their ulterior motives. Destruction of the old redistributive mechanism of the society has resulted into great and even increasing socio-economic upheavals throughout the world endangering the human society, the great ethical and moral virtues of mankind – so necessary for the survival of all and not the fittest – evolved by mankind after millennia of evolution as man has acquired the deadly power of thought without wisdom using it for wrong and unnatural ends to satisfy the baser needs of a section of humanity at the cost of the rest. The huge displacement of labor has resulted into a decline in the overall productivity of the world, in real terms leaving the majority at the losing end with millions starving for food due to poverty and unemployment. The vast manpower resource has come to be grossly under utilized. The new order has not replaced the older one completely since it has not filled the voids it has created. This has given birth to a new social order super imposed over the old one. The old social order has shown remarkable capacity to survive despite having lost its economic value; due to its sheer evolutionary indispensability for mankind. The negative side effects of the Revolution are bound to be corrected by evolution. The built in defense mechanism of the mass of humanity has reacted to the undue interference caused by the new system in the course of nature with a boom in population to fight the dangers ahead. There was a population boom accompanied by a decline in the rate of popular participation in the economic activity in the initial stages of development of capitalism and modern industry in England causing deep resentment among the masses against the new system. But the new system survived this challenge by using the power of thought and colonizing the whole world virtually annihilating the simple local people in the continents of Americas and Australia. Thus capitalism with its political ideology of western nationalism and democracy which is easily discarded in favor of economic gains and human exploitation has converted the productive system of the society from a mechanism of social redistribution into a mechanism of social exploitation. Previously the wealth bestowed by nature was shared by all by performing certain duties towards the society, the majority involved in services and production. The labor of man was thus the basis of redistribution. By dispensing greatly with natural human energy and devising artificial means of production and its stress upon labor saving devices, the new system has dealt a severe blow to the importance of individual who was the basic unit of the society and welfare of whom should have been the basic objective of man in his quest for knowledge and satisfaction. This is the fundamental contradiction inherent in the present capitalist economic system which the destiny has thrust upon the world negating the process of thousand of years of evolution in terms of deterioration in moral and ethical values of mankind resulting into a grave socio-economic turmoil all over the world. Man was made inferior to money and machine and every gift of nature became means of concentration of economic power to satisfy the increasing greed of a small minority. Greed is an insatiable hunger. As this system originated out of capturing and controlling the means of production, evolved over the entire history of mankind by the capitalists in connivance with political power by the use of brutal force it has become a tool of exploitation violating the natural law and is causing incalculable harm to nature as well as to mankind. The evolutionary system based on cooperation and co-existence was replaced by the one based on competition and exploitation. Man has to compete with man in order to sustain himself in an unnatural environment based on exploitation. The process has caused an unprecedented displacement of labor disturbing the natural division of labor and thus decreasing the viability of productive system of most of the economies of the world leading to great incidence of poverty and unemployment and decline in agricultural productivity. The history of great socio-economic pressures generated in the society following the growth of capitalism in Europe and resultant revolutionary social upheavals, causing great misery and pain to mankind, as nature’s reaction to generate resistance within the mankind against the aspects of the modern system contradicting human values and norms of survival of mankind by a population outburst, with people dissatisfied enough to destroy the system, is being repeated all over the world. The system in Europe could face this challenge successfully by colonizing the world and large scale migration. But the system has no solution to this imminent threat from mankind now which represents the final bid by the forces of evolution to counter this infringement upon the right of humanity and the nature to co-exist together in a cooperative manner. Poverty, unemployment, economic inequalities social exploitation and competition causing great misery and pain to humanity are on the increase with the common man filled with great anger and sorrow against the new exploitive system due to the impairment of the social redistribution and an unbalanced division of labor and economic power. This is visible in the form of a vague and quite remarkable resurgence of old social institutions, barring the economic one, of human organization in an effort of mankind to fight the evils of the new socio-economic system which has taken away the birth right of mankind over the fruits of nature through fruitful participation in social progress and prosperity causing severe unemployment, poverty and socio-cultural deprivation to the mass of humanity. People are not prepared to discard their old social order evolved over thousands of years which once provided them socio-economic and psychological security for the new one which leaves them insecure, unemployed and helpless against exploitation by human greed. Even it the old order has ceased to provide economic security to the people, it has successfully entrenched itself within the society by providing them with psychological security against the brutal onslaught by the new system on their interests and a platform to organize and raise voice against social exploitation. That is why people still cling to the older one – the evolutionary indispensability, despite having temporarily lost its significance in the lives of the people due to a sweeping revolution. A great war is on between man and the new system all over the world under different garbs with an increasing ferocity caused due to population boom coupled with capitalist exploitation unarming the masses of their tools of subsistence is gradually compelling them to take to arms against such an inadequate and biased system failing to meet the basic needs of the society. And humanity is paying the price for its blunders committed in the course of development of a knowledge lacking the insight of human wisdom. Nature is definitely supporting the humanity by increasing its strength through the population boom. Nature is strengthening the older order in order to regain its evolutionary position so that the new system is made adaptable for humanity as a whole. Europe had succeeded by spreading the population all over the world by imperialism and militarism in combating nature’s reaction. Under such circumstances with the entire world economy at their disposal, they could manage to survive the contradictions of the new system with their new means of production with very small populations, turning the rest of the world pauper, disrupting the process of evolution, due to some evolutionary necessity or historical accident whatever we may call it. India became the first victim of this historical accident since Indian wealth attracted human greed the most, and the west succeeded for the first time in reversing the flow of wealth from all over the world to India, and from her natural resources, channelizing it to the great democratic Nations of the world, by resorting to inhuman tactics and degrading human dignity, ethics and wisdom. A sub human culture by use of a knowledge without wisdom and simplicity of mankind and guided by the greed and the cunningness of humanity established superiority of the west all over the world. Capitalism has ushered in the age of an unnatural supremacy of the west over the rest of the world – a supremacy resulting out of a distorted progress of mankind destroying the socialistic pattern of the world economy. As this new growth has been the result of a diseased progress of mankind resulting out of exploitation of human thought - the discovery of nature’s forces and their indiscriminate use without properly understanding them through wisdom and making nature itself a tool of exploitation of mankind, the system defies natural law. Till before the birth of this system no human activity clashed with nature’s cycle. Mankind instead thrived by adapting itself to nature’s cycle. Moreover this has rendered three quarters of the humanity without any means of livelihood starving, dissatisfied and discontented by disturbing the evolutionary division of labor. This system does not cater to the needs of all the members of the society in a cooperative manner. Man has tried to gain control over nature, through this system in an indiscriminate fashion and nature is reacting violently to this insolence, environmental pollution, another side effect of this system, gradually turning the environment uninhabitable for man is also an indicator of nature’s refusal to reconcile with new system. Communism as a strategy of man to combat the evil effects of capitalism has failed to serve any purpose due to the great contradiction inherent in its inception. Man could not get rid of the new ‘system of production’ in communism – the basic instrument of concentration of power and exploitation of humanity by an unnatural displacement of labor – being left intact – it proved to be a futile exercise involving great violence and bloodshed largely remaining a mere eye wash. Communism thus lost ground for having no further role to play in the restoration of the process of human evolution. It is the mass production technology which by interfering with the economic activities of man is rendering half of the world unemployed. This is the vehicle of capitalist exploitation – ensuring concentration of power through production. This system has not offered a substitute mechanism of redistribution of economic wealth to all the members of the society breaking the law of natural justice. China and Russia failed in their endeavour to fight capitalism by preserving the basic tools of capitalist exploitation within their system. The destruction of the transitional industry evolved on the basis of needs of the society under specific environmental and demographic conditions in a process of free evolution of mankind has greatly increased pressure on agriculture in most of the impoverished third world countries greatly affecting their agricultural yields and prosperity marking an over-all decline in per capita yields. The mad race for rapid and indiscriminate industrialization under the patronage of corrupt government and based on capitalist exploitation in these countries is causing increasing misery and poverty to the mankind. Man and nature both are reacting sharply to this infringement upon their rights. The third world countries have no big continents to accommodate the surplus population through migration on a large scale nor they have the markets and the resources of the world under their control to fully and productively employ their populations in capitalist mode of production to restore the imbalance caused in the social division of labor. In fact their problems today are the direct consequence of imposition of the capitalist system of production. And now they are heading towards a dead end and not the road to real progress. The progress of this system means increased exploitation of humanity. Man has so far not been able to apply wisdom to this system based on so called rationalism, humanism and reason. The built in mechanism of self destruction in this system – the reaction of humanity and of nature – is bound to destroy its ugly features and correct the deviations before the natural process of evolution could be resumed, if the system is not evaluated over the scale of wisdom and allowed to go too far. This impending process of natural destruction is bound to involve humanity in many more blood-baths causing untold misery and pain as is evident from the short history of capitalism on earth. The things have to change in favor of man and the nature. The place of the individual shall have to be restored in the society otherwise the society will lose its purpose of existence. The change is inevitable. This is up to the man to use his wisdom to give a positive direction to the deviation of mankind from its natural course due to a historical accident or allow the nature to take its own course. The threat before us is of cultural pollution leading to a rapid erosion of human and moral values nurtured by humanity over the ages. The new system by introducing a fierce social competition for survival to such a dangerous extent that we have a society where the law of survival of the fittest applies even in earning one’s bread and butter. The law of survival of the fittest applies when a species is in danger of getting annihilated. Is not the propounding of this law in reference to mankind an indirect admission of this system of its own deadliness, of the great threat it has come to pose to humanity. The continuation or destruction of this world has become a matter of not pressing or pressing a few buttons by a few individuals. Man has acquired only the rights and powers to destroy in the new system and not for reconstruction of the destroyed world. This system has degraded humanity by making human life and values secondary to greed. This is another contradiction inherent in the system. Nature is refusing to cooperate with this system. The action of man has caused an equal and opposite reaction from nature following the famous Newtonian law. The problems of environmental pollution and degradation being the outcome. India partly shares the responsibility for this revolutionary process by way of providing basic tools of knowledge which made this progress possible and by not having provided adequate safeguards against the misuse of knowledge. Invention of zero being one of the most important tools. India has paid its price dearly. This was the wisdom of the Indian culture which had prevented the misuse of knowledge in a destructive way that the modern capitalist system has done. This is now the responsibility of this great leader of humanity to regain consciousness of her wisdom and help the world to get out of the clutches of a system violating the laws of natural justice and causing grievous loss to humanity which is crying horse of environmental and cultural pollution. There are more serious dangers in store which the present knowledge of man has not been able to identity as yet. The changes taking place in the interior of the earth due to large scale mining and drilling operations will cause disturbances. The true extent and nature of dangers posed to humanity by these disturbances have yet to be understood. Nature will refuse to accept mankind if it doesn’t make necessary amends in its ways. After all man is a creature of nature. Only wisdom can save man at this point of crisis. The violent reactions of nature and mankind must suffice to make us realize that all is not well with the new system. The element of modern knowledge which have gone against nature disturbing nature’s cycle shall have to be discarded and treated as sinful acts just as killing an innocent or stealing some one’s property are regarded as sinful acts or the concept of Ahimsa in the ancient Indian system was based on the necessity of preserving environment and human culture form degradation. That is how power of thought may be prevented from being allowed to become the slave of human greed and other baser instincts. The great brains of modern India have tried to find the solution to the problems of a diseased miserable mankind drawing inspiration from India’s past experiences and knowledge reflecting a vague realization of the fact that the modern capitalist set-up is unable to bring about the desired results. But all except Gandhi suffered from the Lacuna that they have mainly tried to apply their wisdom in finding faults with the remnants of our already dying old order giving little attention to the fact that the new system, based on exploitation and greed which they advocated in the name of modernization needs more modifications and reforms than the older one and is much more dangerous for mankind. They have given little thought to the destructive competition of the new socio-economic order eating up the vitals of humanity and inflicting irreversible injuries on nature. Money has gained superiority over human values by taking away the livelihood of majority for personal profits which in the old order involved no competition. Money is a creation of man himself so this system has made man a slave of his own creation. And slave of his greed. With all classes and elements of society at logger-heads, this system is making a negative effect on human culture. The system has converted India into a land of scarcity economy incorporating the law of survival of the fittest – the fittest being the most cunning and the most greedy, from a land of surplus production and a rich humanitarian culture based on co-operation and co-existence. Economy, the basic institution evolved by mankind as an instrument of satisfying basic human needs in cooperation with nature and without competition has been converted into an institution of exploitation satisfying human greed seriously affecting and causing deterioration of mankind on almost all fronts and in all its institutions. The new system has failed to replace the mechanism of redistribution, it has destroyed. It is unable to do that since this system is based on concentration and not redistribution. The system is causing enormous flow of people’s wealth outside the country as well as loss of productivity resulting out of a distorted division of labor or human resource ‘mismanagement’ since they claim to manage this world. The strength of the new system stems from its system of production and economic relationships. It is this field which has to be reformed if we ever wish to restore the eroding human values and material prosperity of the people of India, by an intelligent use of our natural resources to the fullest benefit of mankind. Efforts made by Gandhi have succeeded in rekindling the human wisdom to come up to the rescue of mankind. The flame has to be kept alive. India has a history of defeats of the forces of evil by goodness so I hope sincerely and positively that wisdom shall prevail over thought finally, the earlier the better, before man ever succeeds in his reckless endeavor to destroy himself.
