ones duty. In foreign countries the relation (87) the boss
and the employee is like a (88) and slave and is purely
monetary whereas in Indian culture the relation between the

monetary then at least in kind or non-monetary ways. Indian
culture tells us to multiply and distribute joy and happiness
and share sadness and pain. It tells us that by all this we can
develop co-operation and better living amongst ourselves
and subsequently make this world a better place to live in.
