Preamble
In the sacred land of India, reverence extends beyond the animate.
Inanimate objects have profound spiritual significance. This is a special part of our Indian culture.
On the auspicious Vijayadashami, soldiers worship their firearms. A poignant reminder of their duty to protect our motherland! They do this to express gratitude. It manifests not only in times of peace but also in moments of triumph, as our armed forces, even in victory, exhibit a touching compassion towards vanquished adversaries – a testament to the enduring power of our cultural ethos.
Our Jawans displayed this fifty-three years back to help liberate people Bangladesh from the Pakistan oppressors. This humanistic attitude was also displayed later in the Kargil war.
Our farmers pray to their farming tools and agricultural implements, imbuing them with the hopes of a bountiful harvest.
Automobiles are adorned with vibrant garlands on the auspicious day of Vijayadashami. Newly acquired vehicles are reverently escorted to temples for divine benediction.
Prior to the commencement of construction of a new house or a building, Bhumipoojan ceremony is performed with great solemnity, seeking the earth’s benevolence for the upcoming structure.
These actions show how Indians care about everything around them. This caring nature is seen all over India is humanism
I distinctly recall Philip Kotler’s keynote address at the ‘Humanistic Marketing Executive Seminar’ on 24th November 2022.
“The philosophical core of my being is humanism. The movement called Humanism best describes my attitudes and beliefs.”
“Humanism affirms the freedom and dignity of each human being. Humanism affirms everyone’s ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfilment that aspire to the greater common good. Humanism believes in human wellbeing (health and happiness), human autonomy, and human progress.”
“Humanism is a philosophy that moves away from religious and supernatural beliefs and is grounded in secularism. Humanism relies on science and reason rather than revelation to understand the world. Humanists are strong advocates for human rights, free speech, progressive policies and democracy. Religion is not a precondition for morality. Humans can shape their own values, and live a moral, good and meaningful life.”
This is a huge advice to pharmaceutical marketers whether they are in the western countries, Bangladesh, Philippines, Thailand or India
