 SHILLONG: Shillong-based writer Salil Gewali’s book ‘Bharat kya hai’ was released by the Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh Dr. Raman Singh at his residential office in Raipur on Saturday.

The book, which is the Hindi edition of the original English, entitled ‘Great Minds on INDIA’ has won the admiration of countless scholars and writers.

The book of quotations painstakingly compiled by Gewali is an attempt to showcase the views of the world-renowned intellectual giants about India and her classical literature and spiritualism.

The book provides how the ancient Indian literature inspired ‘the greatest of the great’ scientists, thinkers, writers, poets, statesmen that include Werner Heisenberg, (a co-founder of Quantum Physics), TS Eliot, Voltaire, Friedrich Hegel, Ralph Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, HG Wells, Mark Twain, Bernard Shaw, Erwin Schrodinger-(Father of Quantum Mechanics), Carl Jung, William Butler Yeats, Schopenhauer, Johann Goethe, to name a few.

The book has even won the fascination of an internationally acclaimed NASA scientist, Prof. A.V. Murali, who proclaims, “I never knew that such a compilation exists and we all should be thankful to the author!

‘Bharat kya hai’ (Great Minds on INDIA) has already been translated into Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and Nepali, while the translation into Bengali is in progress.

Gewali believes that the western scientists would not have applauded and approved of this ancient wisdom and knowledge had there not been any scientific validity and significance.
