Like other animals he also ate tubers, potatoes and raw meat. There was accommodation in caves, wooden potaki, stone wall etc. As the peoples engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry he lived in one places. As civilization grew up, he began to take steps towards self-reliant in food, shelter and clothing etc. By the 21stcentury, a man becomes increasingly dependent on machines, medicines and other imported ingredients. This made him feel restless. Soul- happiness began to fade. Due to all these reasons intellectuals turned their attention towards self- reliance. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
