The interplay of culture and civilization by P. R. Sarkar
By society ordinarily we mean a collective body of men and women, but
the innate spirit of the word "society" is not this. Samaja or society
in the true sense of the term implies an action of moving together
(Samanam ejate). We come across groups of persons in buses, trams and
trains moving together; but this occasional movement cannot be termed
society either. Being inspired by acommon ideology, when different
individuals movetowards the common goal and become active for its
achievement, this can be called a society. The appropriate English
equivalent for samája should not therefore be society. Social
advancement, which is a type of social action, means that the tie of
mutual unity among the persons moving together has become strong.
From ancient times there has been social life but nostable society.
This stability in social life is, to some extent, the gift of the
Kśatriya Age (the age of the warriors) and of thepost-Vaeshya age (the
post-capitalist age). The Vaeshya Age leads to Shúdra revolution. So
longas a proper atmosphere for Shúdra revolution is not created, it
can be said that no social consciousness has been created. How can
social consciousness be achieved?
