To-day we speak of a new world order and realise that the call to humanise has a precedence even over defence. In spite of this new view which implies the cultivation of international-mindedness, every country is now either at war or on a footing of war-preparedness. This means we are unable to shake off bellicosity completely. - [Previous: c4.s1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c4.s1.2) - [Next: c4.s2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c4.s2.2) - [Up: c4.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c4.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c4.s2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.dikshitar-1944.c4.s2.1) · Pramāṇa
