Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the Indian soil and culture is conducive to liberalisation and globalisation. Nationalism and liberalization do not oppose each other, and they are one.
Chouhan was addressing a group session on ‘Nav-Udarikaran aur Bhoomandlikaran ke Daur mein Rashtriyata' on the second day of ‘lok Manthan’ here on Sunday.
Chouhan mentioned that ‘Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam’ had been coined in India thousands of years ago. There is always liberty for views in India. After monarchy in the West, democracy took birth with an objective to establish freedom and equality. Moreover, after industrial revolution, communism emerged for the proletarian to oppose exploitation. Communism and later capitalism could not made happiness possible for the humans. Happiness is utmost essential for heart, intelligence and souls beside body. life conducting arrangement has been made through Dharm, Arth, Kaam, Moksh and Purushartha in Indian culture.
Former Union Minister Murli Manohar Joshi said that nationalism strengthens spirit of 'Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' whereas globalisation is mere economic thought. There is a difference between both but coordination is also required. As per the Western thoughts, the creator of the world lives outside the world, create it again and punish. Humans are sent to earth for gratification. Moreover, Western thoughts consider that nature is not live, cannot sense, hence it is permitted to enjoy it.
Joshi further mentioned that it is being said that globalization is not meant for poor and poor countries. This is the basic behind the Western thought, consciousness can exploit unconsciousness. The foundation of consciousness is balance in Indian culture. Not more than needed and not less than required. We are being impacted by the Western culture. Family is our basic foundation and disintegration will collapse the world. Globalisation today hinders individuality, complexity and superiority. Prosperity does not bring serenity and India must understand to balance it. West needs market only and we need market as well as family.
