- Book Type:
- Description: Tanjore, 1942 There are few excitements in Thambi’s quiet life. There is the new hotel, disapproved of by elders, which lures him with the aroma of sambar with onions. There are visits to the library to read the newspaper, and once in a while, a new movie at the Rajaram Electric Theatre. More disagreeably, there are fortnightly visits from his uncle to lay down the law. When Gandhiji announces the Quit India movement, Tanjore is torn apart by protests. The train station-the lifeline of the town-is vandalized. Mysterious leaflets are circulated, containing news that newspapers do not publish. And inspired by the idea of a free India and his own dreams of being an engineer, Thambi must find the courage to do what he believes is right-even when it endangers all he holds dear. The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence.

Din Banne Ke Liye

Sanjeev
- Book Type:
- Description: बाल और किशोर पाठकों के लिए सुप्रसिद्ध कथाकार संजीव का अनन्य उपहार है—‘दिन बनने के लिए’। इस संग्रह की कहानियाँ जितनी मनोरंजक हैं उतनी ही विचारपरक। ये हमारे आसपास जड़ जमाये बैठे अन्धविश्वासों और रूढ़िवादी परम्पराओं की निरर्थकता को चुटीले ढंग से उजागर करती हैं, तार्किक-वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण अपनाने की आवश्यकता को रेखांकित करती हैं और समाज के वास्तविक उन्नायकों से परिचित कराती हैं। निश्चय ही इन कहानियों का एक स्पष्ट सन्देश है, जो इस पुस्तक के नाम से भी ज़ाहिर होता है : दिन बनने के लिए तिमिर को भरकर अंक जलो! फिर भी ये उपदेश देने की बोझिल मुद्रा से मुक्त हैं और कहीं भी सरसता से दूर नहीं जातीं। वास्तव में ये कहानियाँ सचाई का साक्षात्कार कराती हैं और उस सोच को सम्बल देती हैं जो पाठकों को लकीर का फ़कीर बनाने के बजाय जायज़ सवाल उठाने के लिए उकसाता है। बेहद पठनीय और संग्रहणीय
