Tariffs tax goods, not minds. India exports validated neuro-resilience too. Our five-thousand-year heritage is encoded in yoga’s metacognition, pranayama’s prefrontal oxygenation, and dana’s team cohesion. That is a geopolitical infrastructure no customs form can capture. Yet we price this sovereign biotech like souvenir spirituality while global rivals disassemble our living ecosystem into commoditized fragments.The Domestic Credibility GapOur heritage offers something more potent than momentary serenity. Properly translated into validated, science-backed protocols, it could become the world’s most sophisticated resilience technology: a shield for soldiers, civil servants, athletes, and executives. Instead, our own people lack access to the tools global elites queue in Rishikesh to acquire. Silicon Valley pirates our open-source neuro-code while we display it as cultural décor.
