A system not governed by existential impurities, miseries and stress because basically it is management without oppression 'Samatva' is the hard core of governance. Mahatma Gandhi, the craftsman of 'Anasaktiyoga' and trusteeship has preached and executed. Man is only a trustee of his own being and society. If management functions on this philosophical foundation can not only revolutionize Indian society but the globe. This can bring harmonious living condition for not only the present day society, but for the generations to come. It can establish 'VASUDHAIV KUTUMBKAM' not only as an ideal but in practice too.
