In this book the author discusses the subject of human development in India's post-independent social, economic, and political context. He draws our attention to the subject of man and the problem of inter-human relationship, advocating service as the finest form of inter-human relationship.
When we have become free, we need not go mad and throw up society and rush off to die in the forest or the cave; we shall remain where we were but we shall understand the whole thing. The same phenomena will remain but with a new meaning.
-Swami Vivekananda
