"\'Rajdharma\' is a distinct body of doctrine, relating to concept of global ethics. This articulated way of thinking is influenced by socio-politico and economic developments. Rajdharma is basically a law of universal co-operation with ethical behaviour is the only hope for survival of social spirits. Modern analysis of social world, in terms of "Rules and Resources" is from utilitarian philosophy of economic thinking, justifying their political motives and economic methodology, ethical structure of social values, as a flow, can shape their identities, as society is an imaginary concept of these flows, which are struggling to survive against various odd currents. An attempt to integrate these forces, we call it as string theory: Rajdharma has to frame policy foundation for such \'String\' for generations to come and in this book efforts are made to find solution through "Education Policy and System” to build integrated value systems for homogeneous society, keeping democratic spirit as vital force, protecting rational freedom, and opportunities for social achievements as its final destination to save human race from recognizing as "Contented Dog”."
