You sit and argue with people without meaning to gain bookish knowledge. In this book, the author feels that he can't express himself better without reading. So he gets admission in JNU to read the book. His action can teach crores of people in our country today to read, think, and then take a decision themselves instead of getting confused by someone's words.
Before reading the book.
Sometime before reading the book, I went to Nanakmatta Public school of Kamlesh Atwal, who did his PhD at JNU. There I saw the film festival happening, the students of the school going to the nearby book fair, reporting brilliantly on the events happening around them, and those students coming to the school on Sundays of their own free will and taking workshops from acting and writing experts. Then I did not understand from where Kamlesh Atwal would have gotten the inspiration to run this institute, which is running with new ideas that are different from those of other educational institutes.
After reading the book,
After reading the book, I understood how Kamlesh Atwal is able to do all this by opening his own school hundreds of kilometres away from JNU Delhi. As I read in the book, the main aim of a JNU student is not only to polish his career, but he also learns to work for the betterment of his society by staying there.
The cover of the book does not lie.
Written by J. Sushil The book "JNU Anant JNU Katha Ananta" has been published by Prathikshan Prakashan. Going by the cover illustration by Mee J, it seems that the book will focus on the structure of education received at JNU. The cover art for Adarsh Bhushan is impressive. On the back cover, senior journalist Ravish Kumar and author Praveen Jha have given their comments on the book, which makes one more eager to read the book. suggests understanding everything.
This book was made from social media posts.
The author writes in the very beginning of the book that this book came into existence because of his social media posts. The author's description of his relationship with JNU as an umbilical cord is enough to make the readers understand that he has a deep attachment to the university.
On page 38, there is a line, "There I saw chow mein for the first time." This story is still popular in India. It is the story of many youths, and like the author, they also have dreams of coming to big cities like Delhi to give wings to their dreams of flying high, which is why the book will appeal to youths living in every part of India.
JNU The most important thing that the author has done by writing the book is that he has cleared up the misconceptions that have been created among the common people about JNU. For example, in the "Residential Campus" section of the book, the author has written about the absence of government subsidy in the mess bill.
While reading the book, you read about the JNU elections. This election is an opportunity to question the way other elections are held across the country. do the work of The process of elections at JNU is an example for other elections.
What next? The author keeps the readers hooked on the book.
In "Debate, Dhaba culture, and politics," the author creates a thrill about "GScash." It keeps readers interested in reading the book non-stop.
At many places, the author has written his point with great frankness, like when he gives his opinion on IIMC.
"JNU has made me a political man." The line "but has made him politically aware" puts the importance of JNU in the country's politics in front of the readers. And he threw a lot of dirty clothes outside the room so that the rest of the students can see how dirty he remains. After reading the line, the readers who studied college years ago will definitely start remembering their college days. Whatever has been told about the past and the present, it is definitely concluded that a capable person gets his desired position.
How much a student learns from a professor
Mention some things in the book. There are times when the trailer is shown first and then the full movie.
The author has given special place to Professor Anand Kumar and Professor Pushpesh Pant in the book. The author mentions at one point the knowledge he got from Professor Pushpesh Pant, which he has remembered all his life. He writes, "Drinking is an art; listening to music is also an art; writing is an art; criticism is the greatest art." This was understood that day at the dinner table.
How important are books and films in life?
Readers reading books can understand many new things, and a desire to understand the "subaltern" stream of history can arise in them. He reads book names like "The Rhythm of Life and Death" and "Madness and Civilization." The eagerness to read more literary names like Neruda, Foucault, Marx, and Zizek can also increase within the readers after reading this book.
The book also teaches that the best English can be learned by watching English films.
Apart from studies, the freedom of love found inside JNU has also got a special place in the book, in which Parthasarathy Rocks has a special place.
Left, right, and today's education system A lot has been written on JNU politics, which needs to be read.
This is known from the book Why the Left Does Not Succeed Beyond College.
Now the number of such professors has increased, who are neither He is neither a leftist nor a rightist, but an "opportunist." This trend is fatal for academics. The line reflects the real state of higher education today.
"They will not be taking the name of Karl Marx on politics, but will be taking names like Plato, Aristotle, Foucault, and Nietzsche and discussing what their role is in the practical world." It is known from the line that what is the real JNU and what the students there do, apart from the image being made of JNU in most of the news these days. How important JNU is in today's higher education is more than clear from another line in the book, which is, "It takes a long time to stand up and ask questions, but in many universities it doesn't even last three to four years." This happens at JNU in two to three months.
