Gurcharan Das: Relax, capitalism is not the problem
The epic, Mahabharata, thinks that human beings are fundamentally flawed and their faults make the world “uneven” (vishama). As a result, they are vulnerable to nasty surprises. Duryodhana is the chief purveyor of “uneveness” in the epic, but the others also contribute to it in good measure — Yudhishthira cannot resist gambling; Karna suffers from status anxiety; Ashwatthama has a revengeful nature; Dhritarashtra is prone to excessive love for his eldest son and so on. These human defects drive the epic towards calamity.
