Superiority Complex
In society many persons suffer from superiority complex. They want to be honoured by others though they themselves do not like to respect them. Every where they try to enjoy privileges more than other people. This creates envy and anger in the hearts of those persons who are treated as inferiors. The so-called inferior persons do not want to be disrespected in any way. They oppose ill-treatments done by superior fellows and this results into quarrel and crime. The clash between superior class (Savarn) and inferior class (Nimnavarna) of Bihar has been coming from many years back and has disturbed the whole society. But for the proper social development a society needs peace which may be attained through equal behaviour with one another.

Pitṛdevo Bhava

That mother is goddess and father is god. The word 'deva' means that one who gives. A mother gives birth of her child by keeping him in her womb for nine months. She nourishes him by giving milk of her breast. She washes his all dirts till he does not become able to do that himself. During her whole life she worships different gods and goddesses for the cause of the prosperity of her issue. In no time and place she wants any harm to him. So it has been said - Putrokuputrojāyate, Mātā Kumātā na bhavati
That a son may be of ill-behaviour but a mother may never be so:
Father plays almost the same role in the life of his issue. He labours hard to attain all means of his family pleasures. He tries his level best to provide healthy foodings and wealthy clothings to his family members. He manages to educate his sons and daughters well. When issues become young, parent arrange their suitable marriages and earning sources so
