ABSTRACT

Aristotle believed that man is not only a social but also political animal. Therefore, the political ideas and intuitions are resulting from the political nature of man. The greed for power, persecution and submission has been a continuous process from antiquity of life and it has increased by leaps and bounds in civilized and modernized society. This power structured relationship has been working effectively at different levels such as domestic, social and political. It is a bitter truth that in the cut throat competition for power, reputation, wealth and position people terribly exploit others and use them as mere puppets for their selfish achievements.
