"Panchsheel the five principles of peaceful co-existence caught the imagination of the people not only in Asia but the world when an intense ideological conflict was fanned through pursuit of the cold war. Panchsheel is the light that leads nations \'through the engulfing gloom\' for euthanasia prone warring and mutually suspicious nations.

Scholars have made their contribution in this book, hailing Panchsheel as the updated version of \'Tamso-ma-jyotir-gamya\' from darkness to light. It needs no testimonial. It is the time that United Nations Organization adopts it as the \'Preamble\' of U.N.O." (jacket)
