Since the ancient days human beings have fought evil forces with all the available might; be it spiritual and/or muscle power. Let us name the two confronting groups as defenders and infiltrators. Now considering the Indian perspective, we assume its position to be defenders as could be seconded by availing historical facts. However, in this endeavour knowingly or unknowingly the knowledge that the Veda’s say “Yatha Pindetatha Brahmande” which means what is going on within you is same as what is going on in the universe Or what arrangements exists at the micro level exists at the macro level also seems to have been sidelined as perceived by the fall in values and ethical practices albeit worldwide leading to tremendous loss of life and property for the defenders during confrontations. This may be attributed to the absence of a bench mark for comparing the restraint efficiency of the existing defence mechanisms and hence inability to correct the system’s output deviations if any in this age old institution of defence and arms. This paper therefore attempts to identify the similarities in them (macro) with the body cell (micro) defence mechanisms when subjected to sources of decay in the practice of ethos and values so that ways and means could be found for understanding and achieving a successful restraint strategy leading to maximum destruction of infiltrators and minimum loss for the defenders.
