| Summary: | A philosophical world-view of the past and the present human development processes indicates that the story of the progress of mankind Is replete with multifarious illustrations of dichotomies and contradictions in terms of proclaimed values on the one hand and failed impotent institutional infra-structures on the other to realise the goals envisaged vis-a-vis the values. The value profiles of UN Declaration of Human Rights, the French Revolution and Indian Constitution are three glaring examples. The indomitable urge in every thinking humen being is to possess freedom and achieve progress. But when these values are put together collectively as a vision for realization, mankind's experience all over the world has been a painful and disappointing one, because the reality is appalling and full of frightening situations. A quote from the words of Nehru in this context is more appropriate: "The spirit of the age is in favour of equality, though practice denies it almost everywhere". |
