Human history is a story of incursion of one culture over the other utilizing military advantages and dexterity of the rulers. With incursions and invasions cultural amalgamations have taken place and created new cultural identities around which nations have strengthened themselves. However, the movements and adjustments have taken place based on the basis of the elements inherent in the circumstances of
history. The conditions existing in the external world were catalytic to such
changes. They did not include any projection of ideology, or vision of man
outside the questions of survival, security, dominance and conquest.

Man`s vision of a higher social order came with the rise of scientific knowledge and the adoption of rational thinking, with which it could scrutinize the nature of the world.
The industrial revolution, which followed the rise of the modern science,
created new circumstances of production and expansion of markets across the
globe. The economic disparities among the nations and between the nations grew
with the ownership and control of the technological modes of productions, and
hegemony of the colonial powers over the global market.  It generated the so-called proletariat class, whose labor became the foundation of capital generation. They were enchained in the mechanical world of production like slaves without any rights over what they produced. Capitalists built their castles on the profits gained from the
labor of the working class, and establishing a market based on unfair mode of
exchange.

It gave rise to moments of history when man started reflecting about the ways to find freedom without being led by circumstances and the power of the traditional players
governing the social and political order. Ideas about a better social order,
which may free the oppressed and move history towards a universal goal of
freedom for all, started taking roots. Nature of man`s freedom and the ways it
may be achieved became a sphere of philosophical speculation and sowed the
seeds of revolutionary ideas. The ideas of socialism and communism inspired
many intellectuals willing to defend freedom of man with the vision that man
should redefine social order beyond the animal behavior by using the power of
ideas and reason. With it history took a turn. The ideas about the way human
history should move, without following the blind tracks governed by circumstances, came to challenge the old order. However, in a socialist/communist environment where all should enjoy equal opportunities and freedom of development, the question ”how to secure the grounds of survival, and inspire creative engagements, which would fulfill the desire for self-realization?” became the hard nuts to crack. How to neutralize the forces
of the capitalist and traditionalist power groups constantly pressing on to dismantle the socialist ideology, became the greatest challenge for the revolutionists.

These developments of history made human rights proclaiming freedom from hunger and need and life in dignity for all, the main pillars for building social order everywhere, irrespective of culture, race and tradition.
