(Sanskrit: वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम. from "vasudha", the earth; "eva" = emphasizer and "kutumbakam", "family") is a Sanskrit phrase that means that the whole world is one single family.
This concept originates in Hitopadesha: 1.3.71: Udāracharitānām tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam’ , meaning, ‘This is my own relative and that is a stranger’ – is the calculation of the narrow-minded; for the magnanimous-hearts, however, the entire earth is but one family ' and in Pancatantra 5.3.37, and is considered an integral part of the Hindu Philosophy.
