They all were the students of Children Academy, a school, which taught the correspondence course, yet was masquerading its course as the regular one. The students thronging his home, were the students of standard twelve; they were having their final examination next year in the beginning of March. Hence, they still had almost five months to go before they could take their final examination. Those who were sitting with him, were: Rajesh, Sandeep, Vikash, Preeti, Rosi, Vasuki. Rajesh was his former student, whom he offered his classes at his residence at Kalighat, in the immediate vicinity of famous Kali temple; in fact, the house of Rajesh was located on the way to Mother Kali temple. Incidentally, Yogesh got introduced to Rajesh in the Kalighat Park: those were the days when Yogesh would go to play cricket in Kalighat Park. Scores of young men would come from adjacent areas to play cricket with him. During such interaction, Rajesh got acquainted with Yogesh.

    Despite having progressed from a village boy into an urban citizen and having toured the metropolises of India, the grandeur vision of Washington's material prosperity, in all its majesty, which manifested itself before him, overawed him, because USA, the most advanced nation on the earth, holds all the earthly temptations to sway anyone coming from the Oriental for the first time. It had the same magnetic impact on Swami Vivekananda, a venerable saint, who landed in America in 1893 when by virtue of his matchless erudition, he mesmerized the intelligentsia of USA and the world. Still he was beholden to the grandeur of USA when he reached there and beheld its magnificence. Hence, for Saryu to be bedazzled by the awesome sight of Washington was nothing new.

    Riding on the horse of lucidity and simplicity, Vivekanand Jha come out with yet another book of poetry which sings the song of day to day gays, woes and worries deeply delving in human and animal beings. This volume is his third collection of poetry after his first two: '¬SHands Heave to Harm and Hamper'¬ and '¬SSpam: A Satire on E-Sex'¬. Another two likely to publish soon: '¬SSongs of Innocence & Adolescence'¬ and '¬STime Moves Clockwise only'¬. This volume of poetry is dedicated to Prof. P Lal (1929-2010) who embodied dreams of various authors by publishing their books of poetry in particular and literature in general. Publishing three thousands books of literature without asking a penny from the authors he gave befitting replies and moral preaching to the professional publishers, who dropped the phone or switched off the mobile or looked at the authors with scorn when they receive the request of publishing poetry.

  • Book cover of Caṇḍāla

    This volume is a collection of essays on untouchability written by Professor Jha at various points of his long and illustrious career. It dwells on the manner in which social stratification in ancient India developed to exclude castes like Caṇḍālas and Niṣādas, leading to their exploitation and sub-human treatment. The book begins with tracing the origin and condition of Caṇḍālas (1000 BC to AD 600), who were first mentioned in later Vedic literature (1000 to 600 BC) at the Purushamedha (symbolic human sacrifice) dedicated to deity Vayu. Another essay examines the acculturation of the Niṣādas--who were mainly fishermen and hunters by profession--which started from the Later Vedic Period. Caṇḍālas and Niṣādas were both over time assimilated into the Brahmanical caste structure as degraded shudras, and ultimately relegated to being untouchables. The book also examines the Bhagavadgītā and Aśoka's Dhaṃma from the perspective of caste and untouchability. It provides key insights into the origin and growth of the caste system, especially untouchability, extending beyond the brahmanical lens. It is a valuable addition to the study of early Indian social history and social structures.
