भारत की आध्यात्मिकता तथा पश्चिम की विज्ञान और तकनीक—इन दोनों के समन्वय से आनेवाले समय में एक नए भारत का निर्माण होगा, इस दिशा में महान् युगप्रवर्तक स्वामी विवेकानंद ने जोर दिया। ऐसा करना है, तो युवा और आनेवाली पीढ़ी के मानस में परिवर्तन करना होगा। अगर भारत वर्ष का उत्थान करना है तो सबसे पहले भारत के विभिन्न घटकों पर विश्वास आवश्यक है—अपनी धरती पर, अपनी परंपराओं पर, अपनी संस्कृति पर, अपने गौरवशाली अतीत पर। यह एक प्रखर संदेश हमें स्वामीजी से प्राप्त होता है। एक बात उन्होंने हमेशा कही कि एक नया भारत खड़ा हो रहा है। स्वामी विवेकानंद ने युवकों से यह भी अपेक्षा रखी थी—क्या तुम्हें अपने देश से प्रेम है? यदि हाँ, तो आओ, हम लोग उच्चता और उन्नति के मार्ग पर प्रयत्नशील हों। पीछे मुडक़र, मत देखो।

Moyna lives in a little tribal village. She cannot go to school because she has to tend goats, collect firewood, fetch water… But she is so full of questions that the postmaster calls her the ‘why-why girl'! In this inspiring and delightful story, her first picture book, acclaimed Jnanpith award-winning writer Mahasweta Devi tells us how she meets Moyna (and her mongoose) and helps her find answers to all the why-whys – in books, that Moyna herself learns to read. Some of the translations have been done by well-known writers: Malayalam by Paul Zacharia, Tamil by Ambai, and Kannada by Girish Karnad. CBSE recommended
