Unistar. Pages: 140. Price: Rs. 295/-
Many among India’s freedom fighters had a vision of what an independent India should be like. One is not talking of great men like Gandhi, Nehru, Bose or Ambedkar alone. There were others who, while engaged in the battle for freedom had kept the intellectual aspect of their struggle intact – Bhagwan Singh Gyanee was one such. He was the President of the America based Ghadar Party and an active freedom fighter. He nurtured a dream of what the independent India would be like. Accordingly, after India attained independence, he set about his cherished task of developing the country’s youths’ intellectual energies. His projects had the blessings of Pt. Nehru who actually attended some of the seminars and programs organized by the venerable Gyanee.
This book is a collection of the author’s thoughts on a wide range of topics such as Scientific Pattern of Education for Modern India, India’s Minority Problem, Our Wasted Genius etc. These issues, explicated by the author in the late 1950s and early 60s, are relevant even today. The author’s grandson Surinder Pal Singh should be thanked for preserving these documents and now getting them published.
