Changing Paradigms of Development - The Context of Participatory Research
(0000) Oommen, T.K.

First, the revolt of the aristocracy (those who claimed nobility based on birth) against the clergy (God's representatives on earth) which secularized the social order, separating the state and the Church. The focus of this revolution was to arrive at a consensus regarding a division of labour resulting in the allocation of the secular realm exclusively to the state and confining the activity of the church to the spiritual realm.
