Abstract

The basic sources of the culture & civilization of a society are its beliefs and ideas on which the nation builds its plan of action. Every society has its own specific way of life and social structure that distinguishes it from others. Behind their specific life style, there is a clear and definite ideology under which they conduct their affairs. For the strength and development of the national and cultural structure, it is essential that the society and its people do not have any ambiguity in their beliefs and adopt them with full confidence, because even the slightest ambiguity in ideology will stop the process of national development.
