Abstract
Human being is considered as the most intelligent of all the beings that can remember the past, act and react in the present and plan for the future. This has made him specific and created in him a sense of desire or will to fulfill and satisfy his endless needs to a large extent, expressed as emotional, social, material (including economic), cultural, religious, spiritual etc. In course of satisfying these needs, he comes across various social, religious, cultural, economic and such other groups of people which teach him how to cope up with alien situations and make himself a better, stronger, more visible as well as recognized entity in the society.
History of the development of ‘Society’ reveals how despite having various negative tendencies and facing hurdles, man developed a sense of peaceful co-existence, shared his agricultural and such other products through barter system and later through money, evolved new means of production and marketing the same etc.
