Solution to Economic Problems Must Be Prioritized: Aruna Roy
Out of social, political and economic problems, Indian scholar and activist Aruna Roy says the world needs to prioritize solutions to economic ones. She says tensions globally are due to economic reasons, and youth is now turning to violent ways because they have no jobs.

She says everything around the world has become a brand. For example, people buy branded soaps and clothes because they feel fit in them. Similarly, people have also been divided into religious and cultural brands as well. All of it, she says, is due to economics.

Aruna says behind all the wars, there are arms sales. Moreover, politicians are funded by multinational corporations, and that the markets have turned every person into the commodity.

She says more and more young people are turning to violence. To counter that, they need to be provided with jobs.
