Acharya Prashant explains that human beings have an inherent psychological need to separate themselves from others to protect and sustain their ego. This separation manifests through various labels such as religion, caste, gender, and nationality, which provide superficial answers to the question of identity. He describes the political entity of a country as one such label created by politicians to provide a collective identity. This division of the planet into nations has historically led to thousands of wars and immense suffering, often carried out in the name of nationalism and patriotism. He argues that patriotism is frequently used to justify violence and the maintenance of large armies, which exist primarily because countries exist in a state of mutual fear and aggression. He highlights the absurdity of nuclear proliferation, where nations produce weapons capable of destroying the Earth multiple times under the guise of defense. Acharya Prashant points out that these man-made boundaries restrict human freedom, turning countries into large-scale jails where people cannot access natural beauties like the Indus River simply because of political lines. He asserts that politicians and ambitious leaders benefit from these divisions as they gain power over more territories and people. He warns that the same armies celebrated by citizens are often used by politicians to suppress their own people, citing historical events like Tiananmen Square as examples of state-sponsored violence against students. Distinguishing between political India and the spiritual India, Acharya Prashant states that his affinity lies with the land of wisdom, the Upanishads, Buddha, and Mahavir. This 'real India' is not a geographical plot on a map but a state of openness and intelligence that is universal and indestructible. He suggests that great figures like Christ, Einstein, and Abraham Lincoln belong to this India of wisdom. He criticizes shallow patriotism that manifests as cheering for a cricket team or abusing other nations while failing to perform basic civic duties like paying taxes or maintaining public cleanliness. Finally, he clarifies that while armies may perform humanitarian roles during disasters, their primary orientation remains destructive, and such service does not justify the existence of weapons of mass destruction.
