Some things Never Change !!
Some things never change..
let me modify it.. some concepts / thoughts never change the implementation differs.. technology differs.. but the crux behind it .. never changes..
for example :
1. tirth-yatra :
In hinduism, they described 4 stages of life and the last one.. was tirth-yatra where the elderly went on to all the religious places or the places they liked to explore..
For eg ShrawaN took his blind parents for tirth-yatra..
The concept hasnt changed..
ShrawaN of these days.. go to US / Canada / NZ / Aus and take thier parents to explore the new world.. that.. is tirth-yatra for them
2. Brahmastra ( the ultimate weapon ) and its uses and its deliverance
So brahmastra was considered the ultimate weapon, which was supposed to be used only when there was no other way out .. given / rendered to people who were "worthy" of it and who would make a morally right and proper use of it.
Same goes with today's nuclear weapons.. dont you think??
the countries who posses it now.. are trying for non-proliferation treaties so that it would be in hands of the "worthy" countries.. and so on so forth..
Technology of brahmastra and nukes might be different.. but the concept.. same!
3. Waahan and astra :
Again, all the hindu gods and godesses had atleast 2 things with them... their waahan, and their weapon. Vishnu had shesh-naag and chakra, Indra has airawat ( the elephant) and vajra as his weapon..
Cut to 21st century and this analogy only goes well in united states.. where there is right to bear arms and everyone has a vehicle... dont you think?
some have jaguars, some have mustangs and so on so forth.. and you never know, they might have a weapon with them...
or for a country to be good.. it has to have good transport system and good military force.
4. Urbanization:
in india, people relocated from rural places to cities like bombay and delhi etc.. no one went back to their villages..
same goes on these days.. people are relocating to US/Canada.. and never going back
will get back to you on this.. this is a vast topic !
i have to attend to a production issue now..

Whoever said "the more things change, the more they remain the same" definitely knew what he/she was talking about!
