An Appeal: "Please Read It Yourself" Dear Readers, Novelist Mr. Ramakant Samal to his credit has authored more than twenty thousand pages for over four decades, while as a full time Science Teacher dedicatedly serving mostly Tribal aborigines perpetuating their generational life learning. His devotion to his mother tongue started when his own mother implored him to take up a literacy initiative to teach basic alphabets to illiterate elderly ladies at his village-to help decipher postal letters accompanying meagre earnings sent home by migrant husbands- bread owners from far off places like Calcutta- as the Legend goes A lot of unpublished works are still in original hand composed manuscripts and have yet to see the lights of the day-visibly wearisomeness to the ageing author to say the least. An all-out effort need be made to unearth these hidden treasures deservingly so for all his compassionate readers It is gratifying to note that his inimitable writing style is pithy Senecan. His command of vernacular nuances knows no parallel. Further his vocabulary reportaire, diction, narrative skills, fluid delivery and pictorial vignettes. All these combine magically make the writing lively conversational portraying life, consummating love, separations, melancholy, longings, reunions, joys, sadness and fulfillments. Local themes elevated to universal human values-almost as spiritual as Pilgrims progresses-as humanist as a writer could be It vividly shows the maturity of a writer grasping the finer elements of human distresses and dignities and make them come alive in this novel It is high time this highly enriched vernacular poetically infused prose writing befittingly deserves scrutiny from the realms of world literature.
