“A mindset of comparison and competition was introduced in social discourse. In the process, the phenomenon of production gave birth to the curse of capitalism, which in turn led to exploitation of the farmers and labour.”

“Modernity does not easily countenance diversity in various fields like languages, culture, dress etc. Globalisation attempts to promote uniform living pattern in the world over. This formulation suppresses the basic nature of an individual and his/her personal uniqueness, in the effort to make everyone behave and live in a similar manner.”

“For the exploitation of human greed, they have devised comparison and competition. Right from childhood on, we are indoctrinated to compare and compete and there is a word, a phrase, “free and fair competition.”

“The power lies in the hands of very few people, and then the violence, destruction, exploitation happens. We shall have to accept this reality and think as to how to change this reality, otherwise humanity may not be able to survive for a long time.”
