them in various trades, gave them spiritual heritage and showed them the
way to live a happy and a prosperous life. Evidences of Indian culture
can be traced back to countries in South America, Australia, Japan and
Korea (Sharad Hebbalkar,2014.). But nowhere is there a history of India
enslaving others. There is no history of persecution of people in other
countries. This is because the nature of Indian society is spiritual. It is
based on sacrifice and not on consumption. On the other hand, if you look

had said that the exact purpose of our economy can be stated as,
The ultimate goal of our economy is to ensure that everyone in the
community meets all their needs and is able to help others.(Pandit
Deendayal Upadhyay,2016)
In this definition, it is natural that the fundamental problems faced by
every person should be solved. One is always allowed to earn as much as
he can depending on his capacity. The only condition is that , the method
