A HAPPy New yeAR to all our members, well-wishers and library users. As we complete the sixth year of our service to the book-loving people of Dehradun, and enter a new year we have mixed feelings. On the one hand we feel really proud and happy about what we have managed to achieve in this short period of six years, and on the other we feel quite despondent when we realise that our efforts to build on our present achievements and create an institution of our dreams are hitting against the wall.
Let me first refer to our achievements, not with a view to blowing our own horn but more in the nature of sharing information with our readers. Starting from scratch in December 2006, we have managed to build a collection of more than 17,500 volumes in diverse subjects in Hindi and english. The quality of books in the library has widely been appreciated by our members and visitors to the library. Our membership now exceeds 1425. This includes 85 life members. Membership, moreover, is constantly on the rise. Members have been actively using the library. On an average 750-800 books are borrowed every month. The library maintains two reading rooms – one for newspapers and magazines open to the general public from 8 AM to 8 PM on all days, and one for library books and journals open to members during library working hours. Both are full of readers throughout
the time they are open. At times we have had to squeeze in extra chairs to accommodate the rush of users. It is a very satisfying sight for us to see a large number of young people using our reading rooms, and based on the feedback that we get, benefiting from its use. For instance, last year we came to know that about 40 young users of the library had qualified for jobs through various
competitive examinations. Another interesting, yet quite unanticipated, development is that many young people have started using the library premises to either do their own reading or to have discussion with their peers on common subjects in small groups. It is a very pleasant sight to see four or five small groups sitting in our small front lawn on a sunny winter day engrossed in study or discussion among themselves.
From the DirectorNow the reason for our despondence. we are now facing a really severe space crunch. Our present space is just not enough to meet even our present requirements, not to speak of future growth. There is no space available to accommodate additional shelves for books, more seating for the growing number of readers in our reading rooms, or work place for our own staff. Any visitor to the library will attest that books are spread all over the place. The dilemma is that the library cannot stop acquiring more books, else it will become a dead institution, but the space to accommodate new acquisitions is simply not there. Furthermore, we have had to put on hold all plans to provide more facilities and services. For instance we have long felt the need to add a children’s section which we cannot do with the existing facilities. In the absence of a hall we have had to hire space to hold panel discussion and other programmes. All our efforts to expand space at the existing premises have not borne fruit; but we have not lost hope. we continue to hope that sooner or later we will succeed and we will be able to fulfil our dream of giving a first rate, state of the art library to the people of Dehradun. In this endeavour we seek the assistance of all our readers and well-wishers. Let us jointly work towards this goal with sincerity and dedication, and hope 2013 will prove lucky for us.

of “science of travel”. Speakers recalled his encyclopaedic knowledge, contribution to learning especially Tibetan studies and Buddhism, and his signal contribution in bringing a large body of manuscripts from Tibet which are now housed in the Patna museum. A number of prominent litterateurs and citizens of the city attended the programme.
On this occasion a modest exhibition on the life and works of Mahapandit Rahul Sankrityayan was also put up at the Manthan Conference Centre, the venue of the programme. The photographs and books were provided kind courtesy of Mrs Jaya Parhawk.

Mountain Day Observed on 12th December, 2012On the occasion of the International Mountain Day, the Doon Library & Research Centre organized a day long discussion on December 11. The theme identified by FAO for this year’s International Day was Mountains and Forests. Based on this we decided to focus on the theme women and Forests: Context Uttarakhand for our discussions. The Chief Guest on the occasion was Shri Chandi Prasad Bhatt, leading
environmentalist and social worker of the country, recipient of Padma Bhushan, Magsaysay awardee and numerous other awards and decorations. The other speakers on the occasion were Dr Harshvanti Bisht, Principal Government PG College, Doiwala (Dehradun), well-known mountaineer and environmentalist and Shri Sachidananda Bharti of the Doodhatoli Lok Vikas Samiti, a key Chipko activist and environmental crusader. Shri Indu Kumar Pandey, former Chief Secretary, Uttarakhand and presently Adviser on Planning and Development to the Chief Minister, Uttarakhand presided over the function.
Presentations by Shri Bhatt and Dr Bisht were accompanied by slides highlighting the natural resources, biological diversity and lives of the ordinary mountain dwellers, especially women in the Uttarakhand Himalayas and the changes that have occurred in the Gangotri glacier over
the years. The view emerging from the discussion was that conservation of the mountains was possible by a vigorous programme of afforestation. Large scale participation of women was necessary for such a programme to be effective.
Comment: Indian State and Patriarchy: What Does it Mean ?Some time in 1988, when I had just finished work on my PhD thesis, I met another research scholar, who said that the topic of her research was Indian State and Patriarchy. Nearly 25 years later I think that I am beginning to understand the meaning of this term. There are laws like 498 A which make mental torture of a married woman a cognizable offence. Six years back a very comprehensive law on domestic violence was passed. But the attitude of the authorities is never positive. They tend to assume that such provisions are grossly misused. Violence against women has been on the increase. Opinion of politicians cutting across party lines is unanimous on the causes of this escalation: young girls and women should not venture out of their homes in the late hours of the day. Many politicians want to impose a dress code on women. This shows the patriarchal mindset of the Indian state.
when figures show a high percentage of population suffering from malnutrition, the standard response is
15

to strengthen the public distribution system. One very important cause is ignored viz., food distribution within the family is not even. This problem is very acute in the agriculturally prosperous region of Haryana and western UP. If women are suffering from malnutrition, the children born to such women are also going to suffer. But our planners do not seem to be inclined to address this problem. The patriarchal mindset of the Indian state seems to be at work here also.
As India is a vast country there are several political ideologies at work and there are different political parties representing these ideologies. On many issues of vital importance a political consensus is impossible to find. But apparently none of the parties seem to have a problem with the patriarchal mindset of the Indian state. -Manoj Panjani
Review: Meera Kosambi, Women Writing Gender: Marathi Fiction
before Independence, New-Delhi 2012. This work is an anthology of Marathi (abridged) novels and short stories written by women during the late 19th and the 20th century. Literature produced during the period of Nationalism and Social Reform was predominantly didactic in nature. Fiction was a forum in which social issues were debated and discussed. My own research “The Ideological Progression of the women Question in Colonial India,1820-1947” (a Research Project Undertaken by the Doon Library and Research Centre) has shown that there existed in 1947, a women’s movement with a well defined agenda. The salient features of this agenda were economic independence for women, their right to inherit property, similar educational curriculum for boys and girls, their right to divorce, right to control over fertility, and a concept of marriage based on the notion of love and companionship.
These ideas were developed over a period of nearly 90 years by women themselves. Since the second half of the 19th century, a handful of educated women developed a self perception about themselves and their position in society. Towards the end of the century women like Tarabai Shinde, Pandita Ramabai Saraswati and Mokhshodayani expressed dissatisfaction with their existing conditions and by 1917 they were demanding equal status. A novel of Kashibai Kanitkar
included in this anthology which she started writing in 1913 and which was published in 1928 had an introduction which said that gender egalitarianism was her utopia. By participating in the Non-Co-Operation and Civil Disobedience movements their quest for equality got legitimacy and the 1931 session of the Indian National Congress passed the resolution on equal rights. After that women focussed their energies on defining equality.
Meera Kosambi’s anthology shows the major contours of the debates concerning women’s issues. The anthology contains excerpts from two novels of Kashibai Kanitkar and Indira Sahasrabudhe, abridged novels of Geeta Sane and Premabehn Kantak and stories of Vibhavari Shirukar and Shakuntala Paranjape. Kashibai Kanitkar belonged to an earlier generation, while the other writers in this anthology wrote in the 1930’s when the women’s Question had acquired a somewhat radical colour. The works of these writers talk about the oppressive aspects of the institution of marriage. A woman does not have a say in the choice of her husband. Redressal in the form of divorce is not available to her. Bigamy is legal for a man. He is free to desert his wife. economic independence had been regarded as a panacea for all the ills faced by women. One story by Vibhavari Shirukar deals with the issue of the

exploitation of a working women by her own family. The complex issue of women’s sexuality is also dealt with in these works.
The 77 page introduction discusses in brief the manner in which women’s issues are discussed in the works of male authors like HN Apte, VM Joshi, SV Ketkar, NS Phadke, VS Khandekar, BV Varekar and GT Madkholkar. Their attitude according to the author is patronising. -Manoj Panjani
