Description
Summary:The concept of ""World Order"", or peace, amity and security amongst nations and peoples of the earth is an old one. Mankind did experience this kind of peace and security in past aeons, such as the Kritayuga of the Hindu time-cycle. However, in the quest for national or regional stability, acts of aggression often become the means of attaining the end of peace. In the 20th Century, even leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru uttered the sentiment ""If you want peace, prepare for war"". It is postulated that there are ways of establishing world order without any serious disturbance of the lives of people. The Ramayana has shown the way to achieve this. This paper will examine the problems confronting humanity and possible ways of resolving them on the basis of the ideals of the Ramayana.
