All living creature including human being need food and sleep and they indulge in sex and have fear also. The human being are also the same. But knowledge separates him from the other entire creature. So it is simple, a human being without knowledge is obviously a beast.
According to Chanakya, the King, the prostitute, the God of Death , fire , thief , beggar, a child and a wicked of the village do not know the sorrow of the people . All these eight types of people are selfish. They never pay any attention to the trouble s and sorrow of others but think about themselves.
So, if one simply follow by what Chankya , the greatest philosopher of the Nanda dynasty, without trying to understand what he actually wanted to relay to the society, then we obviously become a beast. While trying to understand the 8 types of selfish person, it is necessary that one also understand what he told about Human being which makes them different from the beast. It is the mind, the ability to think, judge and act.
When it comes to the present day political theatre, it is important that those in power and acting as a part of the society have the ability to think and act but not like the 8 types of selfish entity, which he referred to. When the King act to protect his being king without bothering about his subjects then he is even worst then a beast. When one act like a child simply obeying to t\his or her superior without using his intellect then he or she is also no different from beast.
In today’s Manipur society, the Chief Minister or the Minister all act to protect their seat rather than acting what he or she felt it justified. Similar is the bureaucracy or the law enforcers, they all act like a child by following the order of their superior just get blessing from their superior irrespective of what he had done for the society.
The constitution of India whom we considered as the holy book of the nation is now a mockery and those who are supposed to put it in the highest position now have forgotten that it is the duty of all particularly those lawmakers whom the people elected to make sure their people across the country respect and follow what has been written there.
Bureaucrats of today are just ‘yes’ man to the ministers and the attitude is no different from Chanakya’s ‘Child’. Today they have become so selfish that they can’t take up any good works whom they had learnt as they have to wait approval from their superiors particularly the Ministers.
Even the judiciary become selfish as per the teaching of Chanakya as people today started losing faith in the system.
It is high time that the society be corrected, but not by any person but by the conscience of all persons to save and protect humanity. Only after we the people become aware of how we are made difference from the beast will make sure that humanity will be restored.
