Social stratification refers to the hierarchical placement of individuals in society based on class, caste, gender, and financial conditions, where little traditions (faction-specific cultural practices) can evolve into greater traditions (cross-society cultural practices), and Sanskritization describes the process by which lower castes adopt the traditions of higher castes. In administrative contexts, effective governance requires moving beyond rule-based approaches to adopt welfare-centric administration that emphasizes compassion, empathy, and timely service delivery for all citizens.

>> Okay. Then what is marriage? So marriage is a very pious bond which we consider in the Indian society it is a very pious bond between two individuals and through which that individual shares economic and also emotional attachment and it is >> no no that marriage is concept is there one one thing is lacking in living together in marriage.
>> Yes sir.
>> What is lacking? Sir in living together the individuals live together but in case of marriage not only individuals but also families come together. No family is not that it when marriage you living together that's what people are living you are not living in the family when you are living together they get social sanction social sanction is most important >> because social sanction why you are going for a marriage and giving a festive festive occasion because social people will come and you'll give the sanction that you get married okay >> yes >> okay so uh when we celebrate you know whose day we celebrate the semester's day.
>> So 21st of April.
>> Yeah. On that day prime minister's rule address the entire nation particular in Labas that our government officials civil service 7 must be not rule based but rule based.
>> Yes sir.
>> What is your comment on that? What is your suggestion? So rulebased means uh from the his speech I do understand that role-based means one should take care of the responsibility and one should adhere to the principles and ethical values of the being an administrator rather than being role oriented one should be having an compassion and being very much sorry sir I'm nervous welfarecentric for the people and one should have sympathy and empathy for the people rather than just following the norms and the rules of the um society.
>> Any examples can you site?
>> Uh so for example uh I can state about the recent Jitu Munda case where the bank was going through the rule based things but actually there should be kind of compassion and empathy so that that person should have got the justice and the monetary benefits at the end of the day.
>> The second time also prime minister told that officers must be kachai to karma.
>> Yes sir. What is that >> sir? Karm yogi means othering to the karma or the duties of the administrators and also to do all the duties in a time based manner so that any of the public or any of the people are not left out and they doesn't feel that they are they are not getting the benefits of the government at the end of the day.
>> Okay. So you talk about the socialization sitization all these things all these things social. Yes sir.
>> Don't you think that since couple of years due to the rise of AI investment learning all properties is disrupting all the things by persistent things.
>> What is your view on that? Uh yes sir in maximum of the cases I have seen that Sanskritization is being wiping out and the westernization is taking over but sir in many of the villages in the rural villages Sanskritization is still observed where people are observing the traditional and the Sanskritic rights and also following the Sanskritic rules.
>> Don't you think that the gap is reducing day by day because of the rise of AI?
>> Yes connected.
>> Yes sir. But sir, there are many people which are who are not exposed to the AI based technology and the they are still living in the 19th or the 18th century norms and rules.
