Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: The notion of ethics has evolved alongside the human civilisation. New meanings, relevance and dimenstions emerged with every stage of human cognition of social, personal and hedonistic tendencies. But one element - righteousness, ran through the whole process and series of development. This righteousness stands for an attribute that ensures pervasive welfare. Even when the ethics became akin to religion this essence remained the prime concern. Traditional Hindu scriptures and theological literature spoke highly of ethics in context of statecraft and statesmanship. Individual morality developed with the evolution of social life when men began to think of themselves as having some rights and properties of their own. It is wider application of social and individual ethics, which becomes relevant both for good governance as well as good soiety. - Reproduced.
