India after Independence adopted the British model of Democracy whose main objectives are to provide justice — social, economic and political, equality of status as well as of opportunity assuring the dignity of the individual. During the last fifty-five years or so the Central and the State Governments took various measures to achieve these objectives through legislation and economic, social and cultural activities through successive Five-Year Plans. No doubt, there has been some progress in achieving some of these objectives, but in attaining social and economic equality and equality of status as well as of opportunity there have been some hurdles. These are casteism, corruption, lavish living of upper class people, lack of work culture among many educated people having secured employment, distaste for business and manual work, illiteracy and certain religious beliefs among the masses. Thus, adult literacy along with some minimum education for all children, reinterpretation of religious books and reorganization of religious institutions are essential to remove these hurdles as it happened in the Western countries. No doubt, some efforts were made by the Government in this direction after appointing some Commissions and Committees in this field. Similarly saints, scholars and social workers also made attempts to remove these hurdles by organizing conferences and seminars in these fields. However, the achievement of these objectives is still not in sight. Some suggestions in this regards have been made in this book, on the basis of some past literature available in this field.

In India, the girl child is getting a raw deal. Selective abortions have become a serious malaise which is creating an imbalance in the sex ratio. What is happening is wrong. I am doing my little bit to bring in a change into this mindset. This collection - celebrates the girl child, especially in Asian/Indian terms as the daughter is seen as a burden, more likely to bring dishonor, & dowry expenses, an expensive liability that will one day belong to another household. A boy in contrast will be a bread earner, insurance for old age, carry on the family name and is absolutely required to light the funeral pyre.
In many households, the cow is more valuable than the girl child. In this world of double standards, this same girl child becomes “desirable” as a wife and Mother by some and by most as an object of pleasure, commercially exploitable and traded like a commodity; never a person.

It is the author’s contention that both the state of valuelessness in modern times, and the crisis in the social sciences demand a restatement of value theory, based on new theoretical, experiential and empirical developments in the various branches of human knowledge concerned with values.
Values are derived from life, from environment, from self, society and culture, and above all from human existence and experience. Cultural, anthropological and sociological studies have now considerably extended our knowledge of value phenomena and value systems, and of the conditions in which these have arisen. But in Dr. Mukerjee’s view there is unfortunately a complete neglect of causal analysis, largely because values are regarded as highly subjective, relative and non-measurable.
Dr. Mukerjee aims at a logical, philosophical and unified treatment of man’s complex values and value experiences that are distinguished at their successive dimensions, orders or stages of human adjustment. He is concerned with both the roots and the flowering of the value system, with the demands of finite human nature and with those deriving from its profound affinities with the infinite. It is from man’s total context, human and ultra-human, that he selects and orders his hierarchy of goals and values.
