Acharya Prashant explains that the disappearance of social evils like untouchability in the modern world is not due to spiritual realization or a sense of fraternity, but rather due to the power of human desire and greed. He argues that when individuals are driven by the desire for consumption, productivity, or sexual gratification, they readily discard traditional prejudices. For instance, a recruiter will hire someone from any caste if they are productive, and public transport forced different castes to sit together because of the shared desire to reach a destination. He posits that desire is a greater force that defeats petty evils; it can end wars, resolve religious discord, and stop communal riots more effectively than any social reform or religious teaching. Using examples like the end of the Cold War and potential trade between India and Pakistan, he illustrates that economic interests and personal pleasure often override historical animosities. Ultimately, while desire may eliminate certain social conflicts, Acharya Prashant raises the critical question of what force remains to defeat desire itself.
