Context Determines What Is Right

What constitutes the right decision depends on specific circumstances—who is involved, what relationships exist, what history is relevant. Indian decision-making emphasizes reading context rather than applying universal rules mechanically. The same situation with different people or different contexts may warrant different decisions. Develop contextual judgment through experience and relationship—learn the specific histories, relationships, and patterns that affect what decisions are appropriate.

Be cautious about applying general rules without considering whether this specific situation warrants different treatment. When others make decisions that seem inconsistent, consider what contextual factors you might not perceive. Explaining your own decisions may require conveying contextual factors that others do not automatically see.
