Epilogue

Why this peculiarity?

• ·         We, Indians have imbibed thru our generations, the Vedic Philosophy and preachings. However, we selectively apply it only on the macro level; (where there is no collective responsibility), seldom on the micro level (where one’s personal interests are affected).
• Is this a possibility?
• Yes, We are practising Atithi Devo Bhava; even though, we tend to forget many more important tenets such as Satyam Vada, Dharmam Chara, Matru Devo/ Pitru Devo/ Aacharya Devo Bhava.
• ·         Atithi is the one, who comes without a prior intimation and appointment. It is our duty to treat him with all posisble affection and courtesy. 

Our Politicians are practising this system? Police are helping the same system. Courts abett that, by letting the cases languish for at least a decade on an average, to say the least.

Bengal , Assam and Bihar are the worst affected states, with an infiltration levels of upto 25%, at some blocks. Change of Demographics can alter anything in the democracy.

Should we disrupt the politicians, police, courts in the hospitality policy?

Or do something to change this?
