"Chakravarthy, why to give up all when you have worked so hard to achieve it", Mantripradhan softly questions Ashoka on his donation drive under Edict Rock declaration XI. "Do you think I shall be able to carry so much of wealth to my grave?", Ashoka smiled and replied. The Mantripradhan was confused whether it was really the problem of vacancy in the grave or Chakravarthy Ashoka has evolved into a Dharma mahamatra.

In this essay we would discuss to what extent is death an equalizer of mankind, understand critical perspectives and conclude to the best position in light of established facts. RELEVANCE IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD Death brings in light the fact that one has entered this world naked and shall not carry anything back. Soaked in such philosophy we see nations like Italy open up their borders for nobel cause. A standard case happened when Syria was destroyed. Hundred of immigrants were allowed as Italy's economy is at the last stage of Demographic Transition. [Centre for Economic Sciences 2023]. Surprisingly not only developed nations but legacy families also face the same remorse entailing large scale philanthropic donations like Page (Please do not write anything except the question number in this space) कृपया इस स्थान में प्रश्न संख्या के अतिरिक्त कुछ न लिखें। UPSC Answer Questions in NOT MORE THAN the Word Limit specified for each in the Parenthesis.

The feeling sometimes instills massive changes like Environment activism of Greenpeace Foundation, leaders of whom have once been the top proponents of Teleological development during Industrial Development 1.0 and 2.0.

Another level is seldom explored by top philanthropists like Azim Premji which details on the fact that actions overstep the boundary of death. This is well established by the remnants of popularity of Jim Corbett who despite his death is popular for his conservation rally establishing Jim Corbett National Park in Uttarakhand. On contrary a terrorist like Kasab shall always face towering hate for he took numerous innocent lives creating empirical disequalization of death. Page BREAKING DOWN THE CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE The critics do have a point in pointing anomaly in disequalization of death but what we fail to perceive is understand death as a joint system over an isolated event. The difference in condition of death of Hawkins and Palestinian children may appear contrasting but they are merely distinct due to the contingency of economy. Thus death indeed is an equalizer if economic conditions are homogeneous. Additionally, Corbett and Kasab sure travelled different paths but their ideologies are well a subject of discussion post death. Though Corbett is discussed as a champion of conservation and Kasab as an end to Radical extremism. Thus, death does create equalization but the aspect does not acts in silo and has deep effects of 'ADDITIONAL FACTORS' like economy, education and environment.

CONCLUSION AND WAY FORWARD Consequently it is important to spread positivity, education and optimism to uphold death is the greatest equalizer of mankind. As Ashoka wisely said "Death comes silently and take us bare," one should understand it and share their privileges with ones who might not be so privileged. Rather than considering death as a fear monger, we should perceive it as a means to shared brotherhood. As rightly held by Swami Vivekanand - "Death is but a beginning of equality and an end to the discrimination we suffer as humans."
