The table of contents that follows next reflects what this book is about, but, naturally, hardly enough to give a worthwhile glimpse of the shape of things outlined in the book. Some more words are, therefore, added here to elaborate the table a little more. Next to this come a few elucidations.
Part I, under the sub-title of The Disinherited Man', is preambular in nature, its contents leading to the shaping of the answers given in part II of the book to the questions posed and analysed in it. It is primarily a plea for bringing about progressively earnest humanism, felt inescapably in the fruition of habitual universal behaviour of treating one another as a creature of the same common clay, regardless of his or her variations conditioned merely because one has to endure distances and differences of living space as a necessity of material existence; it is the lack of willing acceptance of this in common practice which is the root cause of all tensions, and which keeps the bulk of the humanity in all the lands in as slavish a state of life as is known to known or imaginable history. The theories and practices of the democratic forms of governments have little that would relieve the situation, since they are blind to the fate of those men and women who become relegated to subjugation having had lost the fight for power to run the government -fight either of the armed confrontation in bloody battles or rowdy, confusing elections. Chingizes and Nehrus mean, in the end, to those not belonging to their camp, the same thing.
