Prem Kumar Mani and Pramod Ranjan’s book Samay Se Samwad launched at Patna Book Fair
Gandhian activist Himanshu Kumar, senior writer Alok Dhanwa, Atul Maheshwari inaugurated the book ‘Samay Se Samwad’ by Prem Kumar Mani and Pramod Ranjan and at the Patna Book Fair on Tuesday. This book is a compilation of important writings published in Jan Vikalp magazine. The book focuses on religion, science, language, history and renaissance material, like a flash, puts new facts in front of the reader with such a new perspective that in many cases the traditional frame of thinking starts to crack.
Namvar Singh went to the book stall
On this occasion, Prem Kumar Mani said that ‘Janvikalp’ magazine used to come out under the editorship of me and Pramod Ranjan. Its 11 digits were removed. This book has been published on the basis of articles published in the same magazine. Narrating the memoir related to this, Mani said that once Namvar Singh called and said that the issue of Jan Vikalp was not received by post, so I went to the book stall to collect it. The articles published in this book are still relevant from many points of view.
The government has waged a war against the public, Gandhi and Bhagat Singh had said one thing
Human rights activist Himanshu Kumar said that I have submitted 519 cases to the Supreme Court. Human rights organizations talked about the atrocities of the security forces, but the government has started a war against the public. Both Gandhi and Bhagat Singh had said the same thing. When Bhagat Singh was hanged, he wrote a letter to the Governor of Punjab that war has been imposed on the people and the war will end only with the decisive victory of the people.
Gandhi said in Gram Swaraj that the English model of development is a satanic model. Nature has given equal resources to everyone. In this model of development only the strong can develop. The British shed blood all over the world to spread their model of development. Gandhi had said that one day you will fight against your own people. Security forces have gone to loot natural resources in Chhattisgarh. The government is waging war to capture resources and rob labor.
Leaving relevance in the wake of timelessness
Pro. Pramod Ranjan said that Hindi writing is losing its relevance in the wake of time immemorial. Said that the situation is such that the boys who raised the flag against casteism are today trapped in the web of caste. They are forgetting Vasundhaiva Kutumbakam. Zafar Iqbal, Pankaj Sharma, Danish, Santosh, Raghav Sharan Sharma, Vidyutpal, Rakesh Ranjan, Manoj Kumar, Ashok Kumar Kranti, Jayprakash, Vineet Rai, Gautam Gulal, Santosh were specially present in the inauguration ceremony.
