Chaos

I recently watched a documentary in which a guy was explaining how the perception of India as 'chaotic' (which is not hundred percent wrong, I will come to it later) is limited and there are other factors needed to take into account to get a complete picture of it. I, as Indian, when living in India never felt it to be chaotic (of course?!) unless it was 'brought to attention' by media which is largely influenced by a western perspective. According to this guy, to which I agree, the main necessity to create order and uniformity is exclusion. Exclusion of the things, people, plants, animals which are a hurdle in making an order. The aim in west is to maintain uniformity. Uniformity of economy, ways of living, things you wear, your cars, rules, mindsets and so.. Unfortunately (according to western truth) and fortunately (for a better world), in India the principal thought is 'inclusion'. The ideal ruler here is expected to deny the rights to no one based on any apparent form of difference.. ethnic, economic, cultural etc..

I am not saying that things going on in India are perfect and don't need change but we have to consider that we are trying to accommodate the structure which in its basic nature made of small independent units into a centralized system of control which is against our nature. 

Nothing in its physical form defies the belief systems and instinctive nature of the people. We are a polytheistic culture. We know there is only one truth and also know that everyone can't have or rather can't be forced to walk on the same path. Similarly establishing a central truth, central capitalistic system of control is against our nature. We are truly global and we have to realize that. As Gandhiji had said we need to move towards villages. We need to make small independent and sustaining units chained together with one common purpose as reflected in our way of living, our society is made of small independent sects which are a part of a bigger picture. 

It is immensely regretful that structure we desire to build now was already known to exist in ancient civilizations and how the self proclaiming 'modern' capitalistic and no tolerance oriented myopic civilizations brought nothing but doom to the mankind. But nevertheless now we have seen and known how things work and I have a faith that we will start the change from ourselves to try to be truly global. Not to compete but collaborate, not to dominate but grow together, being independent and still be together, to make a nation which is capable of making a remarkable example of being truly global.
