The richer countries have more access while the resources are shrinking in poorer countries, thereby LEADING to coflict as well as apparent contradiction between population, resource and development. Indian culture is concerned about the balance and harmony among the elements of nature. According to Gandhiji austerity for INDIVIDUAL, trusteeship of social wealth and non - violence are the key to attain higher goals in the life of an individual as well as that of a nation.
