I have heard a story of a magician who had mastered hypnosis and had hypnotized his sheep and says," Life is full of misery, there are many scarcities. To get rid of this, one day I will cut your head out from your body and you will get all the pleasures, and enjoy the delightful moments". And those innocent sheep were enjoying when they were murdered.

When someone comes and calculates our indices, makes worrying comments and shows us the way to get out of the situation with guaranteed brighter futures if followed, isn't it the same as the magician with hypnotized sheep.

We were traditionally enjoying our lives then, west people appeared and now defined poverty. According to them, poverty is of two types:

1) ABSOLUTE POVERTY: if a person earns less than $1.25

2) RELATIVE POVERTY: This type of poverty, is addressed with a comparison between the two.

Both definitions weren't suitable for our society. Because for Western people poverty brings hunger there is a crisis in food security. And see our society, before they came, we could live months without even spending a single penny. Now, question was to be raised, but it wasn't. And the question was," are we poor?"

Those definitions which were to define their world were forcefully imbued into our system and gave us a tag as poor people

HOW WAS THEIR'S WORLD?

Some people take the west as a Babylon of present times, which was founded when Europe took seaways to find India when the roadways were disturbed by the evolution of the Ottoman empire. It was the fate of Europe to discover west land full of minerals, around 600 years ago.

It was raised with the world war. And people around the world go to west land to earn. And we also call west land " the land of immigrants".

When the population, moreover is covered by immigrants, people will not be socially bounded, this is why the slogan of individualism arose there. It was the individualism which encouraged hard work thus they defined the poor based on capability.

On the other hand, in the Eastern world, some parts were colonised, and our land is filled with indigenous, local originated people. We are socially integrated. And our society is made up of our close relations. We don't need to work here if we visit others' houses, our stomachs used to be full.

Also our culture, we believe that visitors who come to our doorsteps are God's. In such a society how can one die of hunger? See the religious aspect of our society, Lord Buddha used to go asking door to door.

This is why our society was built in such a way that no one was called as poor and we started to call people when we adopted other cultures.

Though it wasn't (the definition), we were forced to follow it, which made us believe that we can be rich by improving economic indices.

We were made to believe that if we follow their's policy, we gonna be upgraded to a higher level. And that was the trap, set they est. We failed to recognise the fact that the western definition is for them not for us.

Now, see we all being badly fallen into the debt traps, which we took to improve our indices? If we were to become rich now we are on the list of debt holders.

Recently, the pandemic was spread around the globe, the reason was simple globalization which is the by-product of western civilization invented to make a world a common market. What did it do? They want our economy to grow and was growing and now with a pandemic, our economy crumbled into the ground losing all the pace

It is time to think, we were told," we are poor" by the west. They showed us," the escape, the way". And their system of stronger connectivity and integration brought heath issues and destroyed our civilization's norms and values. Now we are left with, no choice of our own.

Our markets are covered with their products, our government too is under their control, society is divided in names of religion, caste, and standards, And the most important thing is that our culture is destroyed completely. Now, when we visit to ask for some food next door, they will look with suspicious eyes.

It all happened because we were made to believe in false that we are poor.

Thank you.

Interestingly stated. However, the reality still stir us in the face, not until when we understand this fact, and work towards elevating ourselves above it, we will keep on being in this mess, as the mess will never case.

Subjecting one's self to control without deep thought of if such act is progressive or not, will always degenerate such individuals or community in all form, depriving them of progress.

However, the earlier we realized this, the better.

Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

It's true but you will find many people around you who are ready to give you opposite logic. After buying a foreign product people think that it is the best and qualitiful one but at the same time it's hampering to make our own country product good. Because of it the product of our country is decreasing with time . If everyone start to think like this , one day we all have to depend on foreign product.

We can observe how broad the influence of western culture around the world. Westernization was solely influence by most of the traders and missionaries from western Europe, by believing that they are superior from the rest, it leads them to abolish the traditional way of living and enter the great era of modernization.

Modernization, how can it be destroying ourselves? Our civilization? A better option was to protect and promote our old traditions, and culture with the use of modern technology. The tradition that was built for thousands of years, is now in a devastating situation which was caused by the 50 years young concept of modernization.

Riches poverty all starts from the mind. Whatever we believe in becomes our reality
