I think this symbolizes society’s unwillingness to change even if it is acknowledged that change is necessary. The people aren’t learning anything at all, they are only fooling themselves. But they don’t know the right phrases, only phrases that sound clever but are positively meaningless such as: “look up quote about cheese”. They only hear what they want to and never stop talking long enough to see Sampath’s true teachings through his actions.At one point when the city is at its most chaotic with idiotic shouting and an unwillingness to open their eyes, the people begin repeating Sampath’s words. Also, the people of the city embrace holiness, but don’t listen. Indian tradition has always been one where a toe out of line would mean immediate shame for entire families.
This is not the fault of the people however it is the way that society evolved. And the ‘proper way of life’ over emotion, thought, or consideration.
