Acharya Prashant explains that the nature of conflict has fundamentally shifted in the modern age. Historically, enemies like Ravan or Kansa were identifiable external figures or systems of oppression. Today, man has conquered the external world, including space, disease, and nature, effectively becoming a 'god' through intellect and technology. Consequently, there are no longer external despots to fight; instead, the enemy has become internalized and ubiquitous. In a democratic and technologically advanced world, the primary force is no longer autocracy but the irrepressible and loveless desire of the individual.
