Abstract: Abstract Modern developing countries are faced by an enormous challenge of rapid economic development and vast societal transformation. The developmental framework has to take into cognisance a complex and tense background of: (a) the emergence of new social philosophies and dynamics of varied economic forces involving national and international politics of development; (b) inhibited development under colonialism and imperialism, side-by-side with new socio-economic and political alternatives envisaged; (c) conspicuous differences in life conditions among various strata of the same society and between what have been called the rich nations and the poor nations; (d) incredible achievements in modern communications, helping instant diffusion of cultural traits, organisations, new ideologies, and technological innovations in a quickly shrinking world; (e) partly as a corollary, a nearly endemic feature of intra- as well as international demonstration effects leading to rising expectations and rising frustrations, a strikingly new awareness of wants and poverty, and a desparate feeling of relative deprivations around the world.1
