CIVILIZATION THE WORLD

As Emerson, an American intellectual, essayist once said that The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of its own civilization. Some say that the civilization is the eternal light of the human race to its journey to attain dominance over the world. But other say , as Emerson said, it is slow poison to end the human race undoubtedly one day with its sweet like taste. Civilization, the term itself shows the sole representation of civilians as its members not any other. In few words - the civilization, in few centuries, may be in few millenniums, made the entire world an unipolar, pro-Homo sapien society that has given the human, greater security and sustainability. As our historians usually point, the greatest civilizations are originated at the banks of great rivers like Indus, The Nile etc., There onwards they havent got any potential hindrances from the external world that are noteworthy , other than few natural calamities. But it is clearly, undeniably visible that internally because of the defects of its own and its lack of bonding towards the good, the same human race has seen many barbaric wars that has been killing innocent people to fulfil the wicked desires of few evil leaders. As one among this intelligent species, Homo sapiens, one may say very proud to be one among them, but its undoubtedly fact that the same Civilization with its never-seen dominance has brought misery and unnaturally pathetic condition to all other flora and fauna and to Nature. Lets see the optimistic side of the civilization, that has truly brought the barbaric , ruthless, bloody human groups to well disciplined societies over years of its journey, which is truly remarkable and great to control the humans great and powerful intelligence and their strength. But unfortunately there has been some misinterpretations, evil ideas that have been propagating generation after generation , many times shown their presence in Civilization by making its own people as oppressed like slaves , became reason for great human wars that has taken millions of innocent people. In few words, If there is anything great the civilization has brought to this world is only a temporary pleasure to mankind before its unstoppable death. Nothing is left to us, humans, to escape from this evil that has come with us along with the intelligence of dominance. Only thing left to us is to live in the path of nature, to live a more sustainable life that is good for Nature.

MODERNITY A MODERN DEFINITION Modernity is a manifestation of a new outlook-shedding the garment of orthodoxism, blending the best of yesterday and today and walking on the path of becoming a person conscious to not only the needs of himself but also of his fellow living beings. India-the land of tradition and culture, too is in the persuit of modernity. Traditional history puts the battle of plassey as the beginning of modern india. but a mere date in history does not reflect the ground realities.With a complex structure of caste,creed, gender bias, we were no way near the european brand of modernity, which thrived on the sweat and blood of the helpless in the new world. But European entry marked the snail paced flow of english literature into india, which brought ideas unknown hitherto. To many Indians, modernity meant the extravagance splendour and richness on the English lines. But there were few who realised the true importance of modernity lay in enhancement of the dignity and self esteem of those thousands bearing the burden of few.Then came those who not only questioned the Indian rigidity but also mirrored its gory influence on women. they realised that modernity is inherently inclusive, i.e. being driven by the partnership of man and woman but not man and man. As goes the saying, which a journey of miles starts with 2 small steps, India began its small steps towards modernity. As modernity is state of of advanced level of life so as to ensure a better standard of life, intellectuals painfully fought the strong tide of conversatism. In india where economic deprivation is closely related to a persons social status, efforts were made time and again to subdue he not eliminate the system of casteism. as india in 21st century looks to modernize it is unfortunate that the deprived classes lurking in the dark even after 63 years democracy have not yet had a feel of modernity. aS modernity is inclusiva the ambit of its benefits must also accrue to the mute beings to whose ordeal we turn a blind eye to. After all a society is modern only if it is sensitive to the needs of its most vulnerable section. It is here, perhaps modern india is failing to notice the sad demise of its rich biodiversity. modern india ought to be the ideal place for the full development of humanity and and also life in all forms. Modernity does not imply a plastic development, but the recognition of mans ability to such extent that individual happiness gets reconciled with comman good. Such a modern india is what we shall have to look for, else india would be a golden doll without a touching soul.
