The aim of this historical article is to describe the development of the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories as seen from my perspective as a member of Abdus Salam's group at Imperial College London, UK. Beginning with an account of particle physics in the years after the Second World War, I describe early attempts at constructing a unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions, the obstacles encountered and how they were eventually overcome with the mass-generating mechanism incorporating the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking, one of whose features is the now-famous Higgs boson.

An extension of the Standard Model (SM) fermion sector, which is inspired by the E6 grand unified theory model, may be a good candidate to explain a number of unanswered questions in SM. Existence of the E6 leptons may explain great mass difference of charged and neutral leptons. Also, democracy on mass matrix elements is a natural approach in SM. In this study, we have given general structure of democratic mass matrix of lepton sector in E6 model.
