So that the time-honoured pieties of renunciation (tyag) and the simple life centred around the common good and search for truth beyond possessions are decrepitly medieval. Utterly unsuited to a class whose burden now is to see India at the top of the comity of puissant nations.<br /><br />More heinously, such a course seems a sinister device to reject capitalism and a dirty trick to bring back socialist ideas.<br /><br />The agenda of this class, thus, is to see that capitalism goes hand-in-hand with painless placebos, that not only bring momentary relief but recharge entrepreneurial energies for further leaps in profit-making.വര്ക്കേഴ്സ് ഫോറംhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731641929122914433noreply@blogger.com
