Abstract: The 19th century has seen the emergence of a new genre in literature in the form of science-fiction with philosophical undertones. Space-oriented sci-fi has always attempted to prophesize conflict between mankind and extra terrestrial race, be it in War of the Worlds in the 19th century, Foundation in 20th or the Oscar winning movie Avatar in the 21st century. Today, with science and technology regulating every sphere of life, man realizes the need to save humanity from the murderous clutches of scientific advancements. The same need to save humanity is visible in Avatar when the inhabitants of Earth go to colonise the world of Pandora (for materialistic gains just as Britishers came to India) but, instead, are awed by the spiritual superiority of Pandorans and their harmony with nature.
