anger is expressed, religious literatures are heard and studied, enemies are defeated and family honour and religions are developed."}
Arjuna has proved that 'Artha' is the best among all Puruşāthas. Due to wealth Brahmacarya, Vānaprastha and Samnyāsa āśramas depend on Gșhasthāśrama. Whether it is the East or the West or the North and the South all where wealth is honoured because it is the main mcans to pleasure and prosperities of human life.
Economically the present world may be divided into two classes - (1) Class of developed countries and (ii) class of developing countries. The economies of developed countries are mainly based on exploitation and violence. But they show that they want the improvement of developing nations by getting them benefited by their strong economies. If in the true sense, developed nations like to improve the economic conditions of developing nations and the rich persons want to see the poor pcople free from their povertics, then what for the whole world is suffering from terrorism and other problems alike. The people following terrorism are in some way or other suffers of economic and political exploitations. The pretension of developed countries is too attractive.
So far the Indian economy is concerned, it is passing through the age of delusion and doubt because it is assuming strength in exploitation, development in deterioration and support of freedom in the invitation of slavery. A few centuries passed foreign companies came in India for the spread of their business and they captured the whole country and made it slave. Just 57 years of freedom have gone, again being illusioned by the attractive economic policies of Western nations India is inviting multinational companies to establish their businesses in its market. The natural rawamaterials of India have attracted foreign companies. They will exploit Indian economy and will return back as soon as the raw materials of this country will be finished. That will compel Indian people to weep for their poor fate and suicidal situation.
