Sarasvatichandra Part 3
Tripathi,Govardhanram Madhavaram
Sarasvatichandra Part 3 / Govardhanram Madhavaram Tripath ; Suhrud Tridip - 1st edition - Orent Blackswan, New Delhi, 2016. - lxxii, 310p. ; 21cms
A novel of epic proportions written in four parts from 1887 to 1901, Sarasvatichandra is both the enactment and embodiment of the life philosophy of one man, and his sole mission.
Part III, Ratnanagari’s Statecraft, details the efforts of Maniraj, the enlightened ruler of the princely state of Ratnanagari, and his able minister, Vidya Chatura, to create a responsible and inclusive polity in times of decay and change. Although feudal, Ratnanagari has survived British expansion because of the strength and vision of its rulers. With rare courage and candour, Tripathi deliberates on the impact of British rule in the context of the 1857 Revolt, even as he conducts a philosophical enquiry into the nature of governance. We also travel with Sarasvatichandra—rescued from death by ascetics in Part II—to a remote monastery in the high mountains of Sundargiri, headed by the enigmatic and erudite Swami Vishnudas.
