if it is possible to protect the family by the relinquishment or sacrifice of one person, then it should be accepted. Similarly, if you can protect your village or society by the relinquishment or sacrifice of one family, then it is entirely appropriate. To save your state, a village or society can be sacrificed. But Chanakya also says that nothing is more important than you. So, if you need to sacrifice the whole world for your progress and protection, then do so without any hesitation. If you are yourself not there, then you have no use for your village, society or state.
