When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled

When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled. The above aphorism was reflecting today's global position. As world became an global village, interdependence of west and East where action's of one's has consequences faced by world wide. Recent, Russia-Ukraine war was an classic example of it. The war between two countries but consequences of it is not only limited to both.

It's vulnerability particularly faced by small and least developed countries. The rising oil prices, geopolitical vulnerability, led to Inflation impact in Import dependent countries like India, of Asian-African. The fight between two has trampled the growth and development of small countries who have no direct connection with both. Same as grass trampled due to fight between two elephants. Even before Globalisation, the small countries are got trampled between fight of two superpowers USA and USSR by forming allies with small countries exploiting their Human resources, Natural resources, Economic Resources consequently. led them behind in the race of Development. The two world wars of 20th century has devastating effect for entire world. The war left with no winners only left with Millions of victims. The Hirosima & Nagasaki (Japan) attack by USA led to end of war, but also trampled 300,000 + civilian of the Japanese state. Similarly the Seven year of war between England and French for their capitalist intent drag small countries as their colonies into war and trampled their Economic, (Economic Drain), glorious Past (Ex.

India from golden sparrow to Hungry sparrow). Hence, the Personal Interest over the Public Interest makes elephants blinds to see happiness of majority. For example the personal intent of hitler of Rule of Nazi killed millions Jews. The Berighosha policy of Ashoka for Expansion of his empire led devastating war such as Kailangana war where he trampled thousands of millions soldiers. The grasses are tramp not only trampled in fights and Battles but also get trampled indirectly or invisibly as done by chinas Debt trap policy giving economic support at times in crisis crisis to the small countries (Sri lanka, Pakistan) and manipulating its own self interest (china's silk road initiative) by trampling interest of other countries. Even in corporate world the Price war between two giant companies although it's initially beneficial for consumers but led to trampled small companies and retailers For example. JIO's free Internet in 2016's led to closer of many small telephony companies in India. The war for development has trampled the Environment and Animal Kingdom. The fruits of development & technological advancements was sweet for developed countries like USA but was bitter for underdeveloped or lest developed countries like African countries, Asian countries who facing natural calamities like cyclone, depleting rainfall, increasing sea level (survival question for Maldives, Kiribati Island) etc. The Recent Nepal's Glacier Lake Outburst Flood was an red light examples of how development activities of China led to trampled the thousands of people in Nepal. However, it is not always to unjustify the war or fight. The war of Mahabharat has justified the war for Righteousness of the Karma and for the Larger Public Interest (Dharma). Similarly, the war for Independence led by French People (French revolution), American People (American war of Independence), Indian Nationalist against British Colonism etc where grasses where not trampled but became empowered of their strength of unity.

It was also seen in geopolitics in the form of Non - Alignment Movement, led by developing countries (India, Indonesia) against the allies of two super powers. The formation of Union of small African countries has strengthen their voice in International Organisation (UN, WTO etc) Moreover, the strength of grass lies in the roots, soil, water, however the strength of elephants lies itself it in the grass. Grass can live without elephants and elephants need grasses for their development. Likewise the developed countries of west (England, USA,) became developed and prosperous by the human resources of the East, Natural resources, market etc of the East. For example. Europe became colonist power or Industrialist Capitalist power due to resource extraction from the Asian-Afro countries. Hence, war has or conflicts has devastating consequences however avoidance of it has also has limits as said by Gautam Buddha 'Patience has limits'. The terrorist attack of Pahalgam, Pulwama, twin tower of America when the answer has to be give regressively. It is also stated by Gandhiji, war for national interest or to defend the interest of Nation citizens is a Dharma war (quoted from Gita). Although war should be last resort (Just war theory) after taking peaceful methods diplomatically, Economic sanctions, Bilateral - Multilateral talks etc to enhance the peaceful co-existence and co-development of Elephants and grasses.
