Actions and consequences are in a constant flow. There is no action which has no consequences. But yet people are acting boldly, blindly, and badly without thinking of the consequences believing at times that action in itself is the perfection.
Sometimes actions are based upon preconceived notions and hence the observation of action has different responses. They are called belief systems. Some belief systems are system and process based and some are based on isolated, unintegrated and short term benefits.
When the whites saw the native Americans, native Indians, their own belief system made them respond in inhuman ways and there was ample bloodshed and colossal murder. The Africans were treated as if they were lesser than the pet dogs of white men and women. The Whites could buy and sell the Africans and this was done without any guilt.
Similarly in India the forest dwelling tribes were looked upon as beasts of the lowest order. They were robbed of their resources and culture and were forced to convert to an alien religion. They were forced to stop respecting and worshiping their own God, and were made to worship some God of a distant land of Israel.
Therefore the Mahabharata expects us to see things from where they stand rather than seeing them from where we stand. If we are able to see this, then there is coordination and coherency.
Dharma traditions handle any kind of diversity as long as it is not an issue of proper governance. Such diversity is seen as limbo jumbo mix by those who want to create an artificial oneness. One language, one culture, one opinion in regards to religion.When seen from a perspective of reality we understand that life is a forest full of diversity.
We need to ask this question that, can we break diversity and make a one class society? If we can then our nature will be destroyed and if we respect nature then diversity in every sphere of life is a reality .
