Editor's Note Those who have a passion for books, realize at some point in life, that the books they have read fall into two categories; either they are too adult or not adult enough for them. In other words, we all are either too young or too old to have read them. The realisation comes much after the moment of experience. In summer time, when days are longer, reading or re-reading a book is the best way to beat the heat. My suggestion is that a book lover can always give a second chance to a book that he did not grasp in the first instance. Classics seldom fail their readers and they generate enhanced vitality at every read. Autobiographies have always been a popular form of writing. The amazing range and reach enjoyed by Mahatma Gandhi’s book “My Experiments with Truth’ is a miracle of our time. The book is available in abridged version for school students and strikes a chord in every heart. Autobiographies of Nehru and Swami Yoganand, occupy the second row. Dalit writing in Hindi has come of age. Its days of struggle have been long and painful. Significantly dalit autobiographies reveal their dungeon world of dark and stark realities. History has hushed unnumbered instances of atrocities on dalits. A few fearless souls have survived the social landslide to speak out the truth. Their autobiographies are an expression of their predicament and problems. We have focused on Om Prakash Valmiki’s famous autobiography ‘Joothan’ which exemplifies the agony of an outcast child who has to grow up in a hostile social environment. Valmiki disrobes himself to the nadir point only to announce the apathy of a society that boasts of its humanity and compassion. Valmiki was much dissuaded by his friends from writing this confessional book but he said, ‘why should one feel awkward in telling the truth? Only he or she who has suffered this anguish, knows its sting.’ Joothan drew wider attention when it was translated in English by Arun Prabha Mukherjee. It went on to win the New India Foundation’s best book award in 2004. We carry a few pages from Joothan. Prof. Mukherjee writes about this book with empathy and admiration, Dr. P.C. Joshi speaks about localism, nationalism and internationalism with special emphasis on Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand has since been made a separate state but the point Dr. Joshi makes still holds true. In discourse we have a comprehensive study of post modernism by Subhash Sharma. The article on translation in language section reverberates with some of its contentions. It is always significant to know about the survival of Hindi as a language or medium of culture in far off lands. Pushpita April-June 2010 :: 5
