The story is told. The curtain has been brought down on it. Two life sentences have been run. And I have brought my recollections of them within the cover of this book. They are narrated in brief and put together within the narrowest.
When I came into this world, God sent me here, possibly on a sort of life sentence. It was the span of life allotted to me by time to stay in this "prison-house of life". This story is a chapter of the book of life, a long story that has not yet ended.
You can finish reading the book in a day, while I had to live it for 14 long years of transportation. And if the story is so tiresome, unendurable and disgusting to you, how much must have been the living of it for me! Every moment of those 14 years in that jail has been an agony of the soul and the body to me and to my fellow convicts in that jail. It was not only fatiguing, unbearable and futile to us; it was equally or more excruciating to them than to me. And it is only that you may know it and feel the fatigue, the disgust and the pain of it as we have thought it that I have chosen to write it for you.
- Excerpts from this book
This is the story of Swatantrayaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a great revolutionary, politician, poet and seer who tried to free India from the British yoke!
British policy was to torture and persecute the political prisoners/revolutionaries so that they would reveal the names of all their colleagues or go mad or commit suicide. My Transportation for Life is a firsthand story of the sufferings and humiliation of an inmate of the infamous Cellular Jail of Andamans, the legendary Kala Paani. The physical tortures inside the high walls were made all the more insufferable by the sickening attitude of the men who mattered - the native leaders back home. This is a running commentary on the prevalent political conditions in India and a treatise for students of revolution. It is a burning story of all Tapasvis who were transported to Andaman.

Description:
प्रख्यात लेखिका मृणाल पाण्डे की यह नवीनतम कृति संगीत-जगत के अनेक अनदेखे-ओझल वृत्तान्तों का आकलन है। इसमें इन गायिकाओं-गवनहारियों के जीवन-संघर्ष का वर्णन है, जिनके सुर और संगीत का आलोक तो हमारे सामने है, लेकिन स्त्री होने के कारण और अपने समय-समाज की कथित कुलीनता के दायरे से बाहर होने के कारण जिन अवरोधों का पग-पग पर उन्हें सामना करना पड़ा, उस अँधेरे का कहीं कोई ज़िक्र नहीं करता। गौहर जान से लेकर बेगम अख़्तर तक और मोघूबाई से लेकर गंगूबाई हंगल तक—कलाकारों की एक लम्बी फ़ेहरिस्त यहाँ हम देख सकते हैं, जिन्हें अकल्पनीय प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों के बीच संगीत-साधना करनी पड़ी।
वास्तव में संगीत के प्रसंग से पाण्डे ने इस किताब में सामाजिक-सांस्कृतिक इतिहास की उस दरार पर रोशनी डाली है, जिसका भरना अब तक बाक़ी है। उन्होंने बेहद आत्मीयता से तमाम प्रसंगों का उल्लेख किया है, जिससे पुस्तक ने अकादमिक विवेचना के बजाय एक दिलचस्प अनौपचारिक पाठ की शक्ल ले ली है। ज़ाहिर है, यह पाठक के दिल को छू लेती है।

Civil Services : Challenges And Resolutions
- Author Name:
Yogendra Narain
- Book Type:
- Description: The book carefully discusses the civil services in India, USA and China and the key-role played by their respective civil services. During the Covid-19 pandemic, India could save its population despite much meager resources than the USA. The success could be attributed to the rare blending of the political will with the highly skilled and committed civil servants. Eminent civil servant Yogendra Narain politely points out that how in USA under the garb of defining the powers of the states and the federation, the national government's key role in protecting its citizens appeared to be under a seize during the pandemic. The book is likely to trigger off the much-needed debate on the effective use of the civil services especially in a war situation or other emergencies. It also offers an insight on the issue whether a permanent civil service should be �committed� to a particular political ideology as being done in China, or it should function as an impartial instrument to serve the common people.

Description:
कहानीकार के रूप में सत्येन कुमार व्यक्ति-मन की गहन और सामान्यतः अनछुई अनुभूतियों के चितेरे हैं। उनके पास बहुपरिचित बिम्बों के माध्यम से अनजानी और अपरिचित-सी मनोभूमियों को अभिव्यक्ति देने की कला है जो उन्हें अपने अनेक समकालीनों से अलग करती है। अपने उपन्यासों में वे पात्रों को उनकी तमाम तुच्छताओं और हीनताओं के बावजूद एक तटस्थ सहानुभूति के साथ सामने लाते हैं। न तो कोई मूल्यगत फ़ैसला देने की जल्दबाज़ी हमें उनके पाठ में देखने को मिलती और न ही सृजनात्मकता से इतर किसी प्रचलित साहित्यिक मुहावरे का कोई अतिरिक्त आग्रह।
‘नदी को याद नहीं’ ऐसे ही अहिंसक और जीवंत पाठ का श्रेष्ठ नमूना है। इसमें एक ऐसी स्त्री की कथा कही गई है जिसे थोड़ी-सी असावधानी के चलते आप एक नकारात्मक चरित्र भी मान सकते हैं। लेकिन अगर आप ऐसा नहीं कर पाते तो इसकी एक मात्र वजह लेखक की सजगता और समाज की रूढ़ परिभाषाओं और सामयिक रुझानों के घटाटोप को चीरकर, मनुष्य के भीतर छिपे आदि-दुख को देख पाने की उसकी क्षमता है। यहाँ सत्येन कुमार का कथाशिल्पी अपने इस मुख्य पात्र को इतनी सावधानी और धैर्य के साथ खोलता है कि कई बार लगता है कि आप किसी व्यक्ति के बजाय किसी पुराने, रहस्यमय क़िले के सम्मुख हैं। लेकिन आख़िर तक आते-आते आपका यह आश्चर्य अनुचित साबित हो जाता है, जब आपको पता चलता है कि भारतीय स्त्री अन्तत: दुख का एक रहस्यमय क़िला ही होती है। यही रहस्य उसे कभी पूजनीय बना देता है, कभी उपेक्षणीय और कभी दंडनीय। यह उपन्यास स्त्री-दुख के इस रहस्य को हर पहलू से गहराई तक छूने का प्रयास करता है।
सत्येन कुमार लेखन के अलावा फ़िल्म। रंगमंच फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी और चित्रकला के क्षेत्र में भी सक्रिय रहे हैं। इसका प्रभाव उनकी भाषा और शिल्प की चित्रात्मकता में साफ़ दिखाई देता है। इसके चलते जहाँ वे अत्यन्त जटिल जीवन स्थितियों को भी सरल और ग्राह्य रूप में अभिव्यक्ति दे पाते हैं, वहीं अन्तरंग—यहाँ तक कि उद्दाम दैहिक प्रसंगों को भी बड़ी कलात्मकता से साधते हैं। स्त्री के व्यक्ति-संकट के अलावा यह उपन्यास सामन्ती तबके के सत्ता-संकट से भी परिचित कराता है जो आधुनिक और सामन्ती मूल्यों के बीच एक सुविधाजनक रास्ता बनाने के लिए समाज को लगभग दिशाहीन बनाए दे रहा है।

K.K. Muhammed
- Book Type:
- Description: This is the autobiography of an Indian Archaeologist who had the courage to speak the truth both against the Marxist historians and Hindutva groups. He Believes in public Archaeology and takes archaeology to the common man through the print and visual media and also floating innovative student programmes such as ‘Adopt A Heritage’ and ‘Grey Revolution’.

This book also has a_ thought- provoking chapter on marketing Indian Heritage, a business diversification model. Above all, it reads like a book of Positive thinking and creative ideas. By the time, you finish the book, it may change your thoughts and outlook.

Description:
साहित्य में मंज़रनामा एक मुकम्मिल फ़ॉर्म है। यह एक ऐसी विधा है जिसे पाठक बिना किसी रुकावट के रचना का मूल आस्वाद लेते हुए पढ़ सके। लेकिन मंज़रनामा का अन्दाज़े-बयान अमूमन मूल रचना से अलग हो जाता है या यूँ कहें कि वह मूल रचना का इन्टरप्रेटेशन हो जाता है।
मंज़रनामा पेश करने का एक उद्देश्य तो यह है कि पाठक इस फ़ॉर्म से रूबरू हो सकें और दूसरा यह कि टी.वी. और सिनेमा में दिलचस्पी रखनेवाले लोग यह देख-जान सकें कि किसी कृति को किस तरह मंज़रनामे की शक्ल दी जाती है। टी.वी. की आमद से मंज़रनामों की ज़रूरत में बहुत इज़ाफ़ा हो गया है।
कथाकार, शायर, गीतकार, पटकथाकार गुलज़ार ने लीक से हटकर शरतचन्द्र की-सी संवेदनात्मक मार्मिकता, सहानुभूति और करुणा से ओत-प्रोत कई उम्दा फ़िल्मों का निर्देशन किया, जिनमें ‘मेरे अपने’, ‘अचानक’, ‘परिचय’, ‘आँधी’, ‘मौसम’, ‘ख़ुशबू’, ‘मीरा’, ‘किनारा’, ‘नमकीन’, ‘लेकिन’, ‘लिबास’, और ‘माचिस’ जैसी फ़िल्में शामिल हैं।
अपने समय की बेहद चर्चित फ़िल्म ‘आँधी’ का यह मंज़रनामा वरिष्ठ साहित्यकार कमलेश्वर के उपन्यास ‘काली आँधी’ से कुछ अलग भी है और नहीं भी। फ़िल्म में किरदारों के एटिट्यूड उपन्यास से अलग हैं। इसमें राजनीति के छल-छद्मों से भरी कथावस्तु के बीच दो दिलों के प्रेम की अन्तःसलिल धारा भी बह रही है जो पाठकों की संवेदना को छू लेती है।
यह पुस्तक पूरी फ़िल्म की एक तरह से औपन्यासिक प्रस्तुति है जो पाठकों की अपेक्षाओं पर खरा उतरेगी।
