Radhakrishnan, the philosopher diplomat, endeavoured to realise man kind's most cherished dream of a peaceful world through his lectures and articles on "One Earth is One family", "The emerging world society", "International peace", "Our nationality is the Human Race". Jawaharlal Nehru, first prime minister of India, was a firm believer of famous insight of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" i.e. whole world is a family. He propounded the well known Buddha's ethics of "Pancasila", which incorporates five principles of the international code of conduct, leading to peaceful co-existence.? Dr. B. R. Ambedkar favours Buddha's ethics. When Dr. Ambedkar renounced Hinduism he embraced Buddhism. Immanuel Kant also said that there are two things in the worldalways the old and the new-the starry sky and the moral law beneath. All of us want to live a successful life free from tension and worry. The question is how can we achieve it ? Answer lies in adoption of Buddha's ethics. Concepts of interdependence, Eightfold Path and the Pancasila etc. provide and alternative for a better world and human society. Buddha's ethics is the "Sky-lamp" for the contemporary disturbance of the Globe. References 1. Kaul, R.N. Kaul, Introduction Social Philosophy, A.., 1956, p. 202. 2. Hardy, R.
