these booklets each topic was fitted into one classification or other according
to the specific need and rationale of that time. Hence the user may employ his own logic to classify these booklets.

Many people helped me in preparing the topics; but
it is impossible to mention them all by name as the duration of this work spanned
over three decades. I do remember each and every one of them and I thank them
all from the bottom of my heart. However special acknowledgements to B.K. Dwivedi, Mita Majumdar,

This is a compilation of the scientific
knowledge available at a particular period of time and this CD claims no more than
presenting the basic information under each topic. Hence there may be all types of mistakes:
factual and otherwise as the editing of these topics is done single handedly by
the author himself and not professionally.
The user may apply his own
corrections and improvements.
1. People Every where talk
about Justice to every one and there are many religious and secular, voluntary
and governmental organizations and individuals engaged in establishment of
social and Political justice. But they seem to forget that the root cause of
all the exploitation and injustices is economic. As in many other things there are priorities
in the process of achieving social justice.
For any human being the first thing in Social Justice is to have enough
food items at least to meet the daily nutrient requirements recommended by the
Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). The cost of balanced diet for a
family of 5-6 amounts, according to the present market rate, to about 50,000
per annum. To have a decent human living with sufficient clothes, housing, good
education for the
children to get remunerative occupation, good health faculties
and all other nonfood requirements required for an average family amounts to at
least 4 to 5 times the amount required for food. In other words the ratio
between the expenditures on food and nonfood items has to be 1: 4-5. (Samuelson Paul A. and Nordhuas William, D. (1989). Income–Consumption–Saving-relationship, in Economics: Mc-Graw-Hill Book Company,
