MUSINGS OF THE MIND DURING CORONA TIMES (PB)
- Author Name:
Lalit Mengi
- Book Type:
- Description: The outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020, afforded an opportunity, though in adversity, amidst our lives going topsy-turvy, and in forced solitude. I started writing regularly tracking the journey of COVID-19, its fall out and the transformation in our lives as a sequel and sharing on electronic media. Unconsciously my style of writing became prose in poetry, generally concluding with befitting couplets of Urdu poetry. | was buoyed by the inspiring comments of my friends, who genuinely prompted me to consoli- date my thoughts and take it to the next level. This is how exactly my book project took off. In my write-ups, I quite often venture into the coveted realms of great thinkers, philosophers, saints and Yogis, who have spent their lifetimes to understand the enigmatic human life, a beautiful gift of God, yet for average mortals like me, remains a labyrinth, a conundrum. Nevertheless I could peep into some aspects, and the veil did lift a bit, going through treasured writings of the extraordi- nary authors and exalted souls like Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, Paramhansa Yogananda, and Sri Aurobindo. Above all Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali, a collection of highly inspirational poems, devoted to the universal Lord, did leave an indelible imprint in my mind.

- Description: डी.एन.ए. मूलभूत आनुवंशिक पदार्थ है और बहुत थोड़े से लोगों को साठ साल पहले यह भान हुआ कि डी.एन.ए. ही जीवन की कुंजी है। जेम्स डी. वॉट्सन उन्हीं में से एक थे जिन्होंने अपने सहयोगी फ्रांसिस क्रिक के साथ जीवन के इस अनूठे रहस्य की संरचना को खोजा और इसके साथ ही बीसवीं सदी के विज्ञान को नए पंख लगा दिए। इस खोज को बीसवीं सदी की दो सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण वैज्ञानिक घटनाओं में से एक माना जाता है। इस खोज ने डी.एन.ए. पर शोध का जो तूफ़ान चलाया था, वह आज तक थमा नहीं है। बात फिर चाहे जीन्स के पशुओं में परिस्थापन की हो या फिर फ़सलों की प्रकृति बदलने की, आप जीन्स या डी.एन.ए. से बच नहीं सकते। लेकिन यह शोध अपने साथ जो विवाद लाया था, वह भी आज तक ज़िन्दा है। क्रिक और वॉट्सन को कुछ रसायन विज्ञान का ज्ञान था, लेकिन दोनों में से किसी ने भी अपने शोध के परिणाम तक पहुँचने के लिए कभी प्रयोगशाला-परीक्षण नहीं किए थे। इसके विपरीत उन्होंने दूसरों द्वारा किए गए शोध को आधार बनाकर सिर्फ़ मॉडल बनाए—और बात बन गई। इस क्रम में केवेंडिश की प्रयोगशाला में रोज़ालिंड फ़्रैकलिन द्वारा लिए गए एक्स-रे चित्रों की विशेष भूमिका थी। वॉट्सन ने वह मशहूर चित्र 51 बिना रोज़ालिंड फ़्रैकलिन की जानकारी के रोज़ालिंड के सहयोगी मॉरिस विल्किन्स की मदद से देख लिया था। वह चित्र स्पष्ट रूप से डी.एन.ए. की प्रकृति को दिखा रहा था। इसके बाद वॉट्सन ज़ोर-शोर से मॉडल बनाने में लग गए। लेकिन अपने शोध में उन्होंने रोज़ालिंड के उस चित्र की भूमिका को कभी नहीं स्वीकारा, न ही अपनी खोज के श्रेय में रोज़ालिंड को कोई हिस्सा दिया। बल्कि इस पुस्तक में भी उन्होंने रोज़ी के रूप में उनका नकारात्मक चित्रण किया। बाद के वर्षों में रोज़ालिंड के सहयोगियों और तमाम स्त्रीवादियों द्वारा वॉट्सन के चित्रण की भर्त्सना भी की गई। यह पुस्तक बीसवीं सदी के विज्ञान साहित्य की सर्वश्रेष्ठ पुस्तकों में गिनी जाती है। इसकी सीधी-सपाट भाषा प्रयोगशालाओं और वैज्ञानिकों के बीच के बौद्धिक सम्बन्धों की परम्परागत तसवीर को पूरी तरह खंडित करती है और दर्शाती है कि वैज्ञानिक भी मनुष्य हैं—ईर्ष्या, अभिलाषाओं और कुंठाओं से भरे मनुष्य। भारत में यह पुस्तक पहली बार 2003 में हिन्दी में प्रकाशित हुई और अपने विशेष महत्त्व के कारण आज भी पाठकों की प्रिय बनी हुई है।

The Life and Times of Birsa Munda
- Author Name:
Gopi Krishna Kunwar
- Book Type:
- Description: The Life and Times of Birsa Munda The year: 1890-92. It was a time of turmoil when several Adivasis in the Chhotanagpur region fell prey to the false preaching of the Christian churches and were forced to embrace Christianity. It was a ploy by the British to convert Adivasis to Christianity to stem protests. Birsa Munda and his family also believed in preaching initially and converted to Christianity. Soon, however, Birsa saw through the trickery and not merely did he convert to Hinduism again, but he also convinced several Adivasis. They had converted to Christianity to embrace Hinduism again. It was this Birsa Munda who later became the "God" of the Adivasis and came to be regarded as "Dharti-Aba" or "Father of the Universe." In an attempt to capture Birsa, the British administration was jolted and announced a reward of Rs 500 for his arrest. The British trick worked, and some greedy informers of the British caught Birsa when he was sleeping at night. This book, a biography of the great Adivasi leader, Birsa Munda, tries to capture some of the brave glimpses from the life of a daring revolutionary who gave up all he had to fight for the rights of his people and to ensure the freedom of his motherland.
