Money is air for people and we don’t know from where this air is coming from.You can start small task, but as a to-do list grows, you need more hands to achieve your goals or fix complex problems. When others join, you must ensure there is true value for them. Perhaps this dynamic will change in the future with robots, but in the past, action was always preceded by integrity. In the modern world, the atomicity of individuals is growing; ideation and its narration have been crippled by the system. Driven by countless ups and downs, the India has suffered so many frauds that trusting someone is a concept now relegated to stories. Trust has vanished even from blood relations, love, and friendships. Driven by a multitude of factors, people now see deception everywhere.
Today, action and integrity are preceded by wealth. Consequently, rules and governance need to align with this reality for the welfare of people and society. We must understand that integrity and action are old stories; action alone merely leads to a memory ending up in a library. In the past, wealth was not a driving factor in building relations or groups. Now information is processed individually, no two people can agree on anything by design. While this disagreement is inherent to human existence, action and integrity used to be the mechanisms to find common ground.
Existing idea => explanation => learning => understanding => acting is completely different for everyone.
Today, the only common denominator is money. If two or more people want to work together, or enter into any kind of relationship, it is influenced by money—nothing else can top it. It’s the reason all sorts of bonds broken and violated. values hold no meaning anymore. They sound better in fairy tales.people must ensure that transactions are strictly channeled by law while remaining realistic in nature. Expecting old virtues to exist within a modern framework is a symptom of extreme individuality. We see this in couples fighting, parents clashing with children, and groups warring over caste, religion, language, or identity. Yet, we rarely see conflicts between people who share the exact same balance in their bank accounts. Internal, external, and interpersonal conflicts are ultimately driven by money.
Our government and institutions must understand the change and its capitalist nature. Consider Adi Shankaracharya, who forged a path based entirely on logic and integrity to build a cohesive system. Capitalists are doing the exact same thing today, and they will succeed. Nobody can do a damn thing about it. While you may feel free, all laws across nations subconsciously follow the money trail. This system has grown too large to avoid. The bet is placed on your individuality, which is the ultimate aspiration for anyone born today. We are surrounded by an abundance of liberal ideas, though it sometimes feels as if liberal ideology was manufactured by the capitalists themselves. if you have money, you can do/buy things to progress. corporations use this to control natural resources with your indirect consent. You will work for a salary anyway, which conveniently unburdens us of the ideological weight of our purpose. Legally, they have built a system under the guise of protecting you. the notion that “I am different from others”—has been commercialized deeper than we can fathom. Humans were, are, and always will be unique. However, separating everyone into isolated identities and then grouping them back together as purely functional entities is a dangerous paradigm. It erases the Emotional Quotient (EQ) and the gut feelings that dominate when logic fails. Take human clothing as an example:
[Human Personality] =>[External Paid Media / Marketing Feedback] => “These colour combinations bring out confidence!” =>[Economic Activity: Buying what they want us to wear]
This dynamic translates directly into economic activity: we end up buying what they want us to wear, which is a genius marketing strategy. This exploitation happens to every human emotion tied to an expectation. Today, every human expectation can be commercialized, which is equally evil and magnificent. Hopefully, you fall on the right side of it.
The system is well-placed, and there is currently no better way to transact than using currency. cash was lesser of an evil compared to digital currency. With cash, you had to talk to other human beings at some point, even if just to ask for change. Digital currency brings isolation to its peak. This isolation feeds on the human soul, but it grows the ego even more—the very hardware of the human body we are here to tame. Everyone is trying to prove something to someone because of their ego, driving the narrative that an individual must move incredibly fast to grow.
In the past, we did actual physical work in exchange for values, using a barter system based on material things. That system kept our speed in check and our burdens controlled. The moment we started paying value in gold or silver coins, we stopped maintaining the human factor. It became a cold transaction between two parties. The invention of currency was a complete abstraction of power, built entirely on the trust of a collective entity. You hand over currency, and people get things done. But this is dangerous. We have become mere consumers, surrounded by altered food items and compromised services, while government bodies like the FSSAI fail to keep them in check.
The Indian populace remains stuck clinging to ancient value systems and nationalist agendas, while those in power do the exact opposite. Look at the electoral system: politicians are buying votes, and we fail to see it because it is masked as welfare. The amount of money spent on these welfare schemes is staggering. If I were Prime Minister, I could fix everything within a ten-year window. We expect politicians to do their jobs and then ask for votes, but why would they do that if votes can simply be bought? We expect them to fulfill their manifestos in exchange for our choice, but why would they care if the price of a vote is already fixed? We no longer want action and integrity; we believe we can pay or buy our way to the top. The people who built this system are evil geniuses. Because of them, there will never be parity in earning or lifestyle.
Wealthy people are getting citizenship of other country entirely or hiding money in Swiss banks. We live under the illusion that our leaders are in control, but how can an illiterate leader handle a beast this size? In both scenarios, no one enjoys the actual value that currency is supposed to represent. Currency should save you time and work in your favor, not against you. As a society, Understanding economics to achieve genuine freedom remains the core issue for everyone. Every soul is independent and came to this earth to do something extraordinary. That is why human relationships eventually fade and everything goes through a lifecycle; only your contacts and experiences will go with you as per your cosmic contracts.
As intelligence, memory, and data storage became predominant, people started living trapped in the memories of the past and the fear of the future. This architecture compromises basic human nature, which is exactly where the modern economy booms. Future planning has become a mechanism to control memory. More and more complex rules are put in place to control future outcomes based on past events.
We are forced to get along with money because when you have it, you do not have to explain your ideas. You don’t have to justify what you are doing, why you are doing it, or how. You simply pay the right amount, and people execute. In this way, money has become the new loyalty, replacing the loyalty people once gave you out of respect for your integrity.
We achieved political freedom nearly eighty years ago, but we only truly encountered disposable money in the last twenty-five years. It is incredibly exuberant to experience sudden individualism so quickly, and just as painful to extricate yourself from it when things go wrong—much like a first love. Meanwhile, the heavy burden of memory from our past glory still weighs on our people. We were never granted the time to transition smoothly from Action to Integrity, and finally to Wealth. That is why there is no integrity left in the populace. All governments, institutions, and social structures are corrupt because we, the people of India, are corrupt.
We never received the opportunity to sit, relax, and think deeply about our future in terms of governance, culture, and economics. The rest of the world is in no mood to wait for us either. Caught in this frantic transition, our people started consuming new services: banking, digital technology, GDP metrics, and an economic shift where the schooling system was transformed into a tool for a survival race. Cash in hand gave some people immediate freedom, and they did not use it well. India’s cultural mind and its biological DNA are completely out of sync. Multiple generations missed the chance to build something genuinely meaningful. The Indian population is now fractured into two distinct worlds: the high-status urbanites and the villagers. Because of this, the modern infrastructure of the economy fails badly in the Indian scenario.
Consider the example of pan and gutkha:It is integrated into the local culture; entire regions are known for its legacy and consumption.An elite class with more money and media leverage prefers alternative substances like beer or cannabis.The media labels pan chewers as lacking civic sense, effectively outcasting them from modern circles.To keep profit margins alive, the system commercializes it, taxes it heavily, and imposes penalties.Consequently, current rules turn the consumer into a criminal. The new generation grows up believing the consumer lacks civic sense, ignoring the fact that he is simply following the law and actively contributing to the nation’s GDP.
Similarly, suppose the government builds an expressway at a cost of 10,000 crores. Does the government realize that many who own cars cannot even afford the toll taxes required to drive on these expressways? On top of that, they are met with strict rules, speed traps, and heavy fines. Where is the foundational study proving this was the right investment for the masses?
Consider a first-generation family: the youth cannot afford to buy a car to travel because they are instantly blocked by layers of taxes, tolls, insurance premiums, driving license fees, and aggressive traffic challan systems.
Governments operate on the logic of supply and demand; to them, no inflation means no growth. The state targets a 6% to 8% inflation rate as a benchmark for success. They believe that if the people’s purchasing power isn’t constantly forced to increase, there is no success and no growth. The government actively desires inflation, raising prices to artificially show growth in GDP, banking transactions, and lending portfolios—all while offering no clear structural framework for sustainable jobs. Ancestral professions are labeled as evil and exploitative, leaving traditional artisans poor, lacking modern skills, and stripped of social status.
The major question remains: where should our tax money actually go? The government uses tax money to subsidize random systems, and in the process, our social fabric and basic human life are lost. Those who progressed and designed the rules have moved on to the next economic level, while 90% of the population is left dependent on freebies. The Indian population remains stuck, struggling to understand why they are constantly being penalized by the very system meant to elevate them.
[Development] → [GDP] → [Supply & Demand] → [Inflation] → [Dynamic Democracy] → [The People]
[Cultural Change] → [Historical Conflict] → [Social Education] → [Internal Conflict] → [Trust] → [The Individual]
This massive divergence between economic development and individual cultural reality is the precise entry point for the systemic corruption we see today.
