Jubilee special: Why
every girl should read Rahul Sankrityayan's 'Volga to Ganga'
'Ganga from Volga' is a story collection written by Rahul
Sankrityayan. This compilation of twenty stories calls the early age of our
civilized society as maternal. This collection is unmatched composition of
woman's domination.
'Ganga from Volga' is a story collection written by Rahul
Sankrityan, whose stories are written in the history of human civilization due
to events in the development of human civilization. 'Ganga from Volga'
represents the matriarchal of the early age of our civilized society. This
collection is unmatched composition of woman's domination. There are such
quotations of women's performance and nature in this composition that establish
that how feminine women were independent, self-reliant and free in maternal
society. The woman was not the property of anybody. Self-decision of women was
a major priority at that time and it was seen as a natural action.
From this point of view, 'Nisha', the first story of 'Ganga'
from Volga, is particularly remarkable. According to the story writer, all the
tribes of Hind, Iran and Europe were in the form of a tribe at that time.
Probably hard to believe, but during that time women used to initiate every
adventure, and it was not surprising, but a natural phenomenon. According to
this story, women of maternal society ranged from animal-hunting to stone-trunk
and arrows, walking knives, mountain climbing, swimming and dancing etc. In
various arts. Rather, they were faster and more courageous than men.
There are twenty stories in the book 'Ganga from Volga' and
a gap of some hundred years has been given between them. The change between
these stories remains credible. In the time of 8000 years, the author has
presented a squeezed history. Rahul Sankrityayan himself writes about this
story collection that "behind the story of the author, it is the heavy
material in relation to that era, which is how many languages of the world,
comparative linguistics, mud, stones, copper, bronze, Iron is found in symbolic
and written literature or unwritten songs, stories, customs, tricks and tones.
"
Perhaps this is the reason that there is a considerable
variety in the style of stories. Through the description, conversation,
autobiography, presentation, etc. the authors have expressed the thinking of
the people and have shown the reactions of people on the change in society. At
the end of the book, Bhadant Anand Kausalayan wrote about the sources of
stories. In the book Ganga from Volga, the author fully wrote the Arya invasion
theory and wrote stories around it, at that time perhaps this theory has not
been so controversial, although at the end of the book, Bhadanath Anand
Kausalayan criticized the book. It is written in the way that the purpose of
this book was questioned by calling asceticism as a nihilist, anti-Brahmin.
Sankrityayan has expressed himself in the role of the second edition of this
book.
Anand Kausalyan has written just so much in the cleaning of
Rahul Sankrityayan that if someone had to criticize then at least Rahul would
have done as much study as Sankrityayan had done. Due to their knowledge, the
ascetic is also known as Mahapandit in literary quotes. In today's time other
than the language and other scientific methods have been tried in the origin of
Arya invasion theory.
However, the first story of this book is from the Volga
coast. In which about 8000 years ago, there is a mention of the family
structure, diet, lifestyle and lifestyle of a tribe. The first four stories of
Ganga from Volga to 6000 B.C. From 2500 B.C. Illustrate society. Nisha, Diva,
Amrutashu and Purhuhut, all these stories belong to that period, when the man
was in his own state, living as a family, he used to fill his stomach with
prey. Rahulji may have resorted to imagination to portray the situation and the
situation of that era, but these stories can be seen at that time.
The story is full of imagination rather than authentic
things, but the author can not be blamed for it, virtually the authenticity of
India's history has increased greatly after the Buddha and Mahavira era, which
had two reasons. First, instead of highly praising the deities in the texts of
Buddhism and Jainism, the actual social situations of the time have been
depicted. Second, it can be known by comparing the contents of any one book with
any other texts. After Sikandar's invasion, mention of kings and cities of
India is also found in Yavani literature.
The next four collections of collections are - Puran,
Angira, Sudas and Holi. These stories came in 2000 BC From 700 B.C. The social
upturn and human civilization evolve. In these stories Vedas, Puranas,
Mahabharata, Brahmin texts, Upanishads etc. have been formed. 490 BC The story
unfolding has revealed a Buddhist life in Bandul Mall. With the inspiration of
this story, Rahul ji wrote the novel 'Lion Senapati'. 335 BC In the story
'Nagdatta' revealing the era of Acharya Chanakya, the memories of the arrival
of Yavan pilgrims come to India.
In other stories stories of Vedic India, North-Vedic India,
Buddha's time were written. In this book, attempts have been made to go into
the causes of racism. In the story 'Prabha' which reveals the time of 50 BC,
the Buddha and Saundaranand of Ashwanguhash can be realized. Suparna Yudhaya,
Guptakya in India i.e. 420 BC To Raghuvansh, the story reveals the time of
Abhigyan Shakuntalam and Panini. Similarly, there is a dumb story, in which the
time of 630 AD appears, joining us with Harshacharit, Kadambari, Hansang and
Eatinging also connects us. The fourteenth story, whose title is Cycle, saves
the illumination of 1200 AD and draws the template of that era in front of us.
The fifteenth story of compilation ranges from Baba Nuruddin
to the last story Sumer, which is about 650 years interval. These six stories
expressing political, social, economic and cultural trends from the Middle Ages
to the present era - Baba Nur Din, Suraiyya, Rekha Bhagat, Mangal Singh, Safdar
and Sumer from the past, bring us towards this present. That we feel the
realization of the completion of a journey. In these stories, even with the
stories and the historical authenticity, it is included to the extent that it
becomes impossible to differentiate between stories and history.
According to Rahul Sankrityayan, there was no division of
work in the first Aryan castes. Every single man could do every single thing.
When the Aryans came in the Indian subcontinent, they saw trade-oriented
communities where a leader had very strong power. The people in the Aryans had
adopted this system. Slowly this system strengthened its roots and it was almost
impossible to change it. The wars between Aryans and non-Aryans have been
expressed in their own words, some of which are mentioned in mahagrandhs. Until
the medieval period, there was so much anger against the upper castes in the
backward castes that they also considered foreign rule as good.
In the last story of the book, the author presented
communism as a solution to the evils of India. At that time, listening to the
stories of the Soviet Union may seem like once the feudal system had ended and the
sole purpose of governance was the welfare of the people. The solution to
problems like racism and gross disparity in income has been called communism.
After so many years have passed, the Soviet communism can not be said to be
completely successful. Any kind of autocracy can not be called praiseworthy. It
may also be that communism is not well implemented in the Soviet Union. But
through this, Sankrityayan gave a voice to the depressed class problems.
One particular thing about this book is that Rahul Sankrityayan
had created the 'Volga to Ganga' in the black cell of the jail. Prison was
Hazaribagh Central Prison According to the prison record, he was imprisoned for
about 5 years at different times due to his participation in the freedom
movement. He made this period indelible through his creation. Apart from this,
the composition of the Leo Senapati and the Philosophical Direction was also
made here.
In his life, the composer of 155 works, Rahul Sankrityan,
became the first prisoner of Hazaribagh Central Jail on 1 April 1923. Since
then, the continuation of the journey continued here. For the second time on
March 27, 1940, and for the third time on 30 December 1941. The silent witness
of Rahul's creation is the Central Jail of Hazaribagh, on whose premises this
Mahabhakyuk had written his ideology. It is a strange coincidence that his
birth and Mahaprrayan's month is still in April. By refining ideas, he had
proved that man can live in the forest or utilize his every moment in the
river, in the river or in the valley. His memories are still safe in the
Central Jail's Rahul Memorial Hall, perhaps that is why Bihar has not forgotten
him.
