Main features of Indian socio-political environment?
The most significant aspect of the political history of India, right from the times of Mahavira (6 century B.C.) upto the present day, is that India has rarely been politically united. The periods witnessing political unity have been extremely short in the face of prolonged history of thousands of years. The second remarkable aspect of political history of India is that when politically united under one rule, our country prospered and earned a respectable place in world community. The third and the most important aspects of our history is that even though our political leaders failed us, mostly in achieving political unity, we retained our national unity mainly because of our cultural unity which our people have developed through ages by their inherent sagacity and wisdom. This cultural unity is expressed through our way of life, our spirit of tolerance and accommodation and our capacity of endurance and patience which we have been able to exhibit commonly irrespective of our castes, creed or religion. The main contributing factor to these virtues is the power of assimilation possessed by the Aryan race, settled in the country. Aryans learnt in plenty from the more civilized, original settlers of this land but they also made their own original contribution to enhance the ideas which they learnt. When Mohammedans came to India, they, unlike the previous invaders, came with their own religion and culture, with the result that they could not be assimilated in the existing Indian culture. On the contrary, they tried to impose their own by forcible conversions and political, social and economic repression. But by the passage of time even Islam was influenced by Upanisadic thoughts giving birth to Indian Sufism which attracted both Hindu and Muslim masses. Today an average Muslim's social and ethical attitude is not fundamentally different from that of an average Hindu or Jaina or Christian. One can find a difference only in degrees. But an Indian Muslim or an Indian Christian is more an Indian than his co-religionist elsewhere. Thus our culture, developed by the people of our nation through ages, has saved our national unity, inspite of our political leaders' failure and inspite of the partition of our country on the eve of our political independence. The roots of above analysis are found in the socio-political environment, prevailing during the time of Mahavira. Those were the times when there was no paramount power to control the whole or even a great bulk of the country. There were small states and republics having monarchical as well as non-monarchical forms of government each trying to dominate the other. Political leadership in both the forms of government had failed to unite the country as a one whole. Even in the regions not having monarchy, the political structure was mainly oligarchical in character, power vested in the hands of the elite. Socially, on account of the belief that gods can be pleased to make our life comfortable only by sacrifices, a priestly class with great vested interests grew up and the growth of Brahmanical scriptures, prescribing intricate and highly specialized rules for sacrifices, made the services of the priestly class inevitable even for the ruling princes and political leaders. However, the thinkers like Parsva, Kapila, Uddalaka Aruni, Yajnavalkya and many other Rsis of later Upanisadas had started making dents on stronghold of sacrificial priests and princes. These great thinkers had already started a thinking process which was given a revolutionary push by Mahavira and Buddha and which eventually proved to be a cementing force of cultural unity inspite of the internecine quarrels between the political leaders of the day. A cursory look at the political situation in the time of Mahavira will show this.
What are the basis of human wants?
Basic necessities for human survival are water, food, shelter, and, depending upon climate, clothing. Beyond that, everything else is a luxury.But you specifically asked about civilization (or civilization, depending upon where you live). Civilization at least theoretically requires a complex society of humans, practicing agriculture and living in cities. By this definition, small groups of hunter-gatherers do not constitute a civilization. We "civilized" peoples who live in cities and hold jobs usually classify such small groups as either barbarians or savages, depending upon their skill levels.But I should like to remind everyone that in the first half of the last century, the "civilized" world inflicted upon itself the two most devastating wars in history. It's estimated that 20 million "civilized" people lost their lives in World War 1, and possibly as many as 60 million people may have lost their lives in World War 2. We attacked and killed one another and detonated an unbelievable amount of explosive power in flattening the cities that, by definition, make a civilization. And now we have nuclear weapons. "Civilization" has made it possible to flatten an entire city with but a single bomb. Yay.For thousands of years before the 20th Century, of course, "civilized" peoples have been hell-bent on slaughtering one another for all sorts of "good" reasons, including and especially disputes over religion; the how and why to worship, or not worship, God. This particular bit of nonsense plagues "civilization" right down to the present day.Therefore, may I suggest that the real test of a civilization may be civility -- showing regard for others. Being polite. Holding the door. Refraining from punching your neighbor in the nose because you don't like the way he prays, or doesn't pray, or because he doesn't happen to agree with the form of government you have chosen, or because he "talks funny" or "looks funny" or you've decided you like where he lives better than where you live so you think you have a right to take over his house, his land, even to the point of killing him to get it. (If you don't think this is possible, study the thinking of the Nazi Germans at the start of World War 2.)Thus, I would argue that the basic necessities for the survival of human civilization are: water, food, shelter, clothing, and civility. Kindness. Compassion. Consideration. Respect. Politeness.It just so happens that this is being written on Christmas day, a day where the message is supposed to be Peace on Earth and Good Will Toward All Humans, irrespective of religion, race, creed, national origin, skin color, political persuasion or any other "good" reason that "civilized" peoples have in the past used as an excuse to butcher one another. Whether you are Christian, or any other religion, or no religion at all, the message remains the same. "Can't we all just get along?"_______________________AddendumWhat you write is true, but incomplete. Survival of a species as high on the evolutionary chain as humanity does in fact depend upon food, water, clothing and shelter, but this list should also include 'protection'. For a given species (and not just humanity) to survive there must be in place, in addition to biological necessities, a mechanism of protection to allow for growth, productivity and progress. Remove the element of protection, and the culture, civilization, pack, group, tribe or whatever will eventually be attacked by natural forces of nature and/or humanistic desire for control and driven into extinction. The forces of nature are held at bay by civil and public works in the form of flood control, irrigation, healthcare and public fire and rescue services. Construction projects aimed at holding and/or controlling flooding or extreme weather events are forms of protection that fight against the forces of nature. Do you think 'nature' has any interest in 'just getting along'? I think not!Another area of protection is community, state and federal government protection. We in the United States take for granted our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because of the strong civil and governmental social services programs (police, fire, ambulatory, emergency and military services) present in our country. Fortunately, in the United States, these are 'controlled' public services, unlike the militia of totalitarian governments, but never the less 'controlled'. Without this presence, 'civility' will take a deep backseat to the inherent, ruthless attitudes and nature of mental deviants. The Darwinist proclamation 'The Survival of the Fittest' will run rampant and those without civil protective services will be as much at risk of annihilation as if standing in the path of a tornado, hurricane or tsunami wave.So, not to dispute the primary biological ingredients of food, water, clothing and shelter, but these elements must also be 'protected' in order to provide the long term effect of growth and productivity. The points of issue are real, physical ingredients that go into survival. Civility and human kindness are 'emotional' responses just as is anger, resentment, and desire. We as a human race are at the mercy of these emotions - good and bad - and therefore must be either 'self' governed or 'publically' governed. Granted, a civil approach is the more humane point of view. Either way, survival depends upon, in addition to food, water, clothing and shelter, a reasonable degree of 'protection' to insure that the long term effects of these first four elements of existence are kept safe for humanity to grow, live long lives and prosper.
