Indian Culture Values and Professional Ethics (For Professional Students)

Several universities in India have recognized the need to introduce a course in Human Values and Professional Ethics. In view of the degradation of moral values and degeneration of cultural values it is a development in the right direction. This book is written to be of assistance to all such courses. This book differs from the existing few books in this field in the fact that it contains information about the ancient Indian culture along with various other cultures that developed around the world. This forms the foundation for the value system in this country. It is expected that the present day youth should derive inspiration from the past glory and great achievements, ignoring the deficiencies if any.                Progress is always from the past into the future taking the best from everything and every where.                It is hoped that this small book will be found to be useful by the academicians in this field dealing with culture, values and professional ethics.
