Vasudaiva Kutumbakam

This means the entire world is one family. At first shot, you may not understand the significance of this sentence. But if I narrate the way the western world perceives the world, you will understand the difference. The west views the world as a market. A person is significant only if a certian amount of profit is generated out of him. Capitalist concept. But Vasudaiva kutumbakam is a socialist concept. Hence socialism is embedded within Hindu scriptures.
