Mandela recollects that it was almost impossible for a black man in south Africa to fulfill his obligation to his family and society because of the system of apartheid practiced by the white rulers. He began to hanker after freedom when he realized that his freedom had been taken away from him when he reached manhood. He yearned for the basic and honorable freedoms of achieving his potential, of marrying, having a family-the freedom not to be obstructed in a lawful life. When Mandela realized that not only his freedom was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like him was also curtailed. That's when he joined the African national Congress and that is when the hunger for his own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of his people.

Direction: While the modern India has made progress in various fields, the priceless intangible heritage of works like the Sama Veda have gone unnoticed-a great loss indeed. We have, it could be said, mindlessly pursed a line of development causing
unwelcome changes to the very fabric of our culture; not very different from iconoclastic behavior. In spite of the fact that a large number of rich Indians possess more wealth than the world's richest, we demonstrate such ignorance about the Vedas in general and Sama Veda in particular. One needs to find out why the world’s oldest composite literature on religion, sciences, humanities and spirituality attracts little public attention today. The yajnas, apart from their religious functions, were unfortunately termed as mere ‘rituals’ even by Indian scholars and so their secular significance has been undermined. It has been shown in a premiere scientific institute in Pune that the Yajna bhasma being of the size of nano-particles had positive effects on human health and the environment.

Shouldn't we then live in harmony with nature and evolve with it? Our brains, too, are wired to enjoy the beauty of nature. No man-made systems can complete with the joy and well-being. we feel in observing nature's display all year round. We recover rapidly from physical stress when exposed to pleasing natural environmental beauty. We take holidays amidst natural scenic wonders and we retreat to nature to recover and recoup from stress. Yet, we choose to destroy nature with our wasteful lifestyles and our burgeoning population. We use natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural tapestry, and have even started playing God !
