Our country: Our
problems
Every country has its own peculiar
historical. social and economic situations and its leaders decide
the remedies to the ills that beset the country from time to time
taking into consideration its background. It is illogical to believe
that remedies which the leaders of one country decided to try for
their problems are likely to be applicable as such to all other
peoples. A simple illustration will suffice. Even though the basic
organic activity is the same in all human beings the drugs which may
be helpful in England may not prove equally helpful in India.
Diseases depend also upon climate, water, dietary habits and
heredity. Even though the external symptoms may be apparently
similar the same drug does not necessarily cure all persons. Those
who apply a single penacea to all diseases must be considered quacks
rather than doctors. Therefore Ayurveda states i.e. for the disease
in each place remedy suitable to that place must be found.
Therefore, it is neither possible nor wise to adopt foreign Isms in
our country in the original from in toto. It will not be helpful in
achieving happiness and prosperity.
