Summary/Abstract |
Material progress of the society has not brought about an improvement in the quality of society in terms of right living and right thinking. As we raise our concern about the declining standards of values system in the society and realize that upliftment of any society depends on how ethical are the standards of behavior, we come to the conclusion that restoring values is an urgency as well as an emergency. But the biggest difficulty is in drawing the line between ethical and unethical given the growing preponderance of self-interest over all other interests. Definition notwithstanding, the one important way out is looking at the life and times of benchmarks in the form of personalities and characters who have lived life ethically and conducted themselves righteously. The present article discuss these issues in detail.
