Dear friends,
Namaskar.
In preceding one and half century we have seen tremendous change. Feudalism has gone. Imperialism has gone appaently. Communism came and receded. International boundaries are becoming thinner and so forth. But capitalism seems to be steady. World economic forum I think represents it.

When there was fall of USSR in 1989 it was thought that communism has gone (though China had communist Government). But a little decade above, World Social Forum appeared in sothern hemisphere. It looks like a poser to World Economic Forum.

Is any further drastic change going to happen?

Regards,
Jogeshwar.

Dear Dr. Jogeshwar,
Greetings.
In my opinion you have posed a very thought-provoking observation. Regarding the question whether any drastic changes my happen...my simpe answer is 'in the human world changes are bound to happen..." whether they are drastic or not many variables...direct and extraneous are attributable.

If we go back in documented history...back to the Persian and Roman empires, back to Chinese dynasties....back to Egyptian domination and the mystique of Pyramid...the Greek intellectual domination, if we look at the descendence of Britain from world power and the subsequent rise of US, if we look at Russia from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to USSR to now...all these manifest that human always create and craft change....sometime 'paradigms' (a la Thomas Kuhn) are overthrown dramatically sometimes changes creeps in imperceptibly...but changes is bound to happen.

Humans always need and crave for improvements...and they will create change to improve...sometimes changes destroy good things...yet change is inevitable. The important thing is to craft change to best suit human interests short term and long term...present and future generations...Also to manipulate change...however undesirable to save the goal of improved quality of life.

Best Regards,

Dear Emanuel,
My greetings to you from the far off country and also excellent elaboration of the issue and focusing the points of discussion.

In my view the best adaptation strategy is "Learn from the past; be in the present and prepare for the future". Now the question is what have we learnt from the past? Are we adapting well at present? Are we prepared for the future? If so, then in what way?

Best regards,
Jogeshwar.

BALANCE BETWEEN THESE TWO IS VERY ESSENTIAL.

China is now changing at High Speed, In Today's world Social Philosophy is only limited to theory and Talks.

The enthusiasm that they had many years back (1960 - 1970) in India and many more years back in Russia is not seen today, They are only limited to do Rallies, Their Leaders are limited to politics.

And what to say for the Industrialists and Rich People, They can spend money like anything for themselves, but not proportionally for the welfare of the weeker sections. They are Limited to Show Off.

No country can progress (Socially and Economically) if imbalance is there, The Balance is important.

I am not high Fi thinker, but i Think as normal man does. But I am really concerned for the People who are poor and Socially Week.
