"विलक्षण प्रतिभा के धनी पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री जननायक अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी को भारत के सर्वोच्च नागरिक सम्मान ‘भारतरत्न’ से सम्मानित किया गया। उनके बहुआयामी व्यक्तित्व और कृतित्व का स्मरण आना अत्यंत सहज और स्वाभाविक है। वे न केवल मंत्रमुग्ध कर देनेवाले वक्ता और कुशल प्रशासक रहे, अपितु अपने राजनीतिक विरोधियों का भी सम्मान करनेवाले और उनसे सम्मान पानेवाले नेता हैं। प्रस्तुत पुस्तक को तीन खंडों में विभाजित कर पाठकों के लिए उपयुक्त और सरल ढंग से पाठ्य-सामग्री को समायोजित करने का प्रयास किया गया है। खंड-1 में अटलजी का ‘संक्षिप्त परिचय’ और अटलजी के प्रधानमंत्रित्व काल में उनके मीडिया सलाहकार रहे अशोक टंडनजी द्वारा वाजपेयीजी की कार्यशैली पर लिखा गया लेख दिया गया है। खंड-2 में वाजपेयीजी ने विभिन्न अवसरों पर सदन में, सदन से बाहर अथवा समाचार-पत्रों आदि में जो लिखा, उसके आधार पर ‘मैं अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी बोल रहा हूँ’ दिया गया है। खंड-3 में अटलजी को ‘भारतरत्न’ मिलने पर प्रतिक्रियाएँ प्रस्तुत की गई हैं। मुख्यतः पुस्तक का खंड-2 ही इसका शीर्षक ‘मैं अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी बोल रहा हूँ’ है, जबकि अन्य दोनों खंड अटलजी को समझने, उन्हें आत्मसात् करने में सहायक सिद्ध हो सकते हैं। सर्वप्रिय कविहृदय अटलजी के स्पष्ट विचार, दूरदर्शिता, चुटीली शैली और मर्म को छू लेनेवाली ओजस्वी वाणी के विशाल सागर की एक झलक मात्र देती है यह पठनीय पुस्तक।

Socrates had an early interest in the scientific theories of Anaxagoras, who taught the world that there are an infinite number of different kinds of elementary particles (atoms), and it is the action of the mind upon these particles that produce the objects that we see. Socrates believed that the senses of the body create difficulty for the Mind to think, and thus, he came to regard the physical world as deceptive. Socrates believed that his work, which he sought to understand through critical questioning and dialogue, was given to him as a divine mission, and hence, was his duty. His total lack of interest in material possessions was evident by his being always barefoot and wearing an old cloak the whole year around. His habit of going barefoot even in winter showed his power of endurance as well. To him, the aspiration for virtue was the highest aim anyone could have.

"सन् 1909 में लंदन से दक्षिण अफ्रीका लौटते हुए जहाज पर हिंदुस्तानियों के हिंसावादी पंथ को और उसी विचारधारावाले दक्षिण अफ्रीका के एक वर्ग को दिए गए जवाब के रूप में लिखी यह पुस्तक पहले-पहल दक्षिण अफ्रीका में छपनेवाले साप्‍ताहिक ‘इंडियन ओपीनियन’ में प्रगट हुई थी। लिखने के एक सौ वर्ष बाद भी यह इतनी प्रासंगिक और विचारशील कृति है कि यह बालक के हाथ में भी दी जा सकती है। यह द्वेषधर्म की जगह प्रेमधर्म सिखाती है; हिंसा की जगह आत्म-बलिदान को रखती है; पशुबल से टक्कर लेने के लिए आत्मबल को खड़ा करती है। हिंदुस्तान अगर प्रेम के सिद्धांत को अपने धर्म के एक सक्रिय अंश के रूप में स्वीकार करे और उसे अपनी राजनीति में शामिल करे, तो स्वराज स्वर्ग से हिंदुस्तान की धरती पर उतरेगा। ‘हिंद स्वराज’ में बताए हुए संपूर्ण जीवन-सिद्धांत को आचरण में लाने से राष्‍ट्र के सामने जो प्रश्‍न हैं, समस्याएँ हैं, उनका उत्तर और समाधान खोजने में मदद मिलेगी।

The history of India, so far, has not focused on a civilizational Bharatiya perspective, emphasizing a geo-political history based on the Nation-state paradigm, rather than a geo-cultural practice based on India’s civilizational antiquity. Until recently, history had been viewed from various ideological lenses- Colonial, Nationalist, Marxist, Subaltern, soon and so forth. These schools have been immensely successful not only in tapping the immense range of sources and exploring the various regions and sub-regions across the subcontinent, but have also contributed towards bringing to light important perspectives concerning the political, economic, social and cultural developments in the history of India from the 8th to the 14th centuries. While tapping into these schools has its obvious advantages, in that they have focused on partial aspects of the grand march of the civilization’s history, a lot still needs to be done.
