ANNALS COMMENTARY ANNALS COMMENTARY intellectual commerce-legal paradigms for global initiatives Human intellect is the genesis of the proud civilizations, where it carried out its collective march towards a 'better tomorrow'. The creative manifestations of the great intellects brought all of us from dark and dingy grottos to the luminous urbanity of the present day. For every small step forward, we are bound to acknowledge a debt to a scientist, a physician, a pharmacist, an architect, a jurist and many others. Every time any one of us smiles, such felicity of a moment stands out, even in ostensibly oblivious state, as a true and profound acknowledgement of selflessness and altruism, as each smile in life of a fellow being on this planet, is an honest tribute to eons of intense intellectual strife of our forefathers. The mutuality of mankind was the foundation of life, in all the cosmic aspects, on planet.

The selflessness or self extinction are essentially the important elements of mutuality and fraternity. Progression of mankind through vagaries of time over this planet, if viewed in a wholesome, cohesive and non-fragmented perspective , is a fable of ruthless assertion of the mighty over the less privileged, where the supportive and just intervention by the angels and divine messengers is always hailed by humanity, as divine. Centuries rolled by and man continued to progress and ultimately arrived at what we are taught to recognize as Modern era. The principles …
