For decades, the world has been distracted by the glitz, wealth, and fabricated superiority of global power networks. Much like the caricatured sheikhs in old films — reveling in extravagance while exploiting others — today’s self-proclaimed guardians of international order behave no differently. Behind the polished language of “global security” and “peacekeeping” lies an ecosystem of weapons manufacturers, intelligence cartels, and geopolitical brokers who thrive on chaos, conflict, and division.
These global arms barons — the real imperialists of the 21st century — incite war under the guise of protecting freedom. They sow doubt among nations, fracture societies, and fuel unrest, only to return as saviors selling solutions at a premium. The world must finally see through this treachery. The so-called International Chief Agencies, often portrayed as arbiters of geopolitical morality, have repeatedly operated as instruments of pressure, rather than peace. Their footprints are visible behind every major conflict, every destabilised region, every rise of international terror networks.
This destructive order must be dismantled. Whether it is the imperialism of the working class exploited by global lobbies, or the imperialism of capitalists feeding off vulnerable nations, the motivation is the same: greed. They survive by suppressing native virtues and indigenous strengths — the very qualities Bharat has nurtured through millennia.
Bharat’s civilisational philosophy has long taught that every living being is an expression of the same energy, recycled and reborn. Every Vishwakarma, every Warrior, every Acharya carries a unique virtue — a dharmic potential that must be nurtured, not adulterated. Yet the modern global order thrives by weakening these virtues, by corrupting societies from within.
Africa stands as a painful example: a continent blessed with the world’s richest diamond mines and abundant natural resources, yet reduced to a symbol of malnutrition, piracy, and exploitation. Its minerals enrich imperialist corporations, while its children starve. This is the future global powers envision for others — including Bharat, if it remains complacent.
India must guard its own foundations. The unchecked commercialization of education—from capitation-fee factories to land-grabbing “institutions” — has produced a teaching community drained of virtue, stripped of purpose. Article 51(A)(h) of the Constitution demands the promotion of scientific temperament, yet our educators are forced into survival mode or driven abroad in brain drain.
With 140 crore people, Bharat does not merely have a large population — it has 140 crore minds capable of exponential imagination and innovation. However, caste-based divisions, political self-interest, and subservience to foreign interests have distorted these virtues and eroded national unity.
The path forward is clear. Educational reform must be radical and holistic. Shift-based systems, sandwich courses linked to industry internships, compulsory NCC training, and structured engagement in sports can transform youth into confident, constructive innovators. Bharat must harness its demographic power, reclaim its civilisational virtues, and rise as a leader that empowers humanity instead of exploiting it.
The world has long been bullied by imperialist greed. It is time for Bharat to show a different model: one rooted in virtue, innovation, and dignity for all.
