Prashant provides a sharp secular critique of how religious fatalism can hinder national progress, urging a shift from divine reliance to human agency. While provocative, this perspective risks oversimplifying the complex geopolitical and institutional factors that drove China’s economic rise.

What China Rejected That India Still Follows || Acharya PrashantAdded:
India and China. Till the mid-80s, India's per capita income was much the same as that of China. And then China just bit ahead. How did that happen? One of the reasons is that the foolish kind of religion is totally [music] prohibited in China. There is no god up there to change your life. Your life is in your own hands. You think hard, you work hard, you party hard. Had the Chinese been as religious as Indians are, China's growth and development would have been impossible. Because common religion is centrally about having a wish-fulfilling supernatural power up in the skies. Religion is everything. If you are stuck with the wrong kind of religion, you would always find yourself in a compromised position.
Throw out the wrong kind of religion, make space for Krishna. Nis Trikal Bhava Arjun. That's a clarion call. You are being invited to war. Tear away all nonsense and throw it out. And then you will rise in life.
