Ashok Chakradhar’s ‘Champu ka Antarlokpal’
Padmashri Ashok Chakradhar, a personality, who needs no introduction and someone who believes that living the child inside you is as important as anything else in this entire universe, has released his next book called ‘Champu Ka Antarlokpal’. This is the fifth book in ‘Chaun Re Champu’ series. In his new book, through the character of Champu, he has talked about various social issues and has also presented a comic angle to the normal day to day life (for which he is known all around the world). Also, the main plot of the book is Lokpal Bill. Chacha believes that the final social victory will be achieved with internalisation of the ethics and values that the Lokpal Bill symbolises.
This is the first time when Oxford Bookstore along with Vani Prakashan has taken an initiative to promote Hindi language and literature. The occasion also marks the launch of the Hindi book section at the bookstore and is an attempt to make Hindi literature available to the masses at an affordable price. The aim is to also spread awareness about our national literacy gems through an yearlong program.
The event also witnessed the presence of Saurabh Dwivedi, Associate Editor of India Today Digital, sharing the stage with Ashok Chakradhar and talking about contemporary socio-linguistic reality where there is continuous depletion of interest among youth towards Hindi Literature.
Talking about the most prevalent issue of suicides due to educational pressures, Ashok Chakradhar recited a message he once received about how the syllabus is as widespread as ocean and how the students can only remember glass-sized information. Followed by another alarming issue of female foeticide and rapes happening all over the country, Ashok Chakradhar recited a beautiful poem on how women are the most important part of life.
Indeed this master of words has once again stolen or hearts!
