BEWARE OF JUNK LITERATURE!



The world has caught up with a new trend. Today, people all over the world consume large amounts of junk literature. Just as people are fond of junk food, people are fond of junk literature. Mostly junk food is consumed by people for convenience and taste. But its high calorie content, high fat content and in most cases high spice content open avenues to enter a large number of diseases into our body. Many deficiency diseases, cardio-vascular diseases, obesity and ulcers are common with those people who consume large amounts of junk food.
Similarly, those who consume large accounts of junk literature are likely to suffer many diseases. Hopelessness, depression, violence and emotional outbreaks can be taken as the results of consuming large amounts of junk literature. Unfortunately, many of the best sellers today come under the category of junk literature. The authors and their publishers promote them mindlessly for mere economic gains.
Though it is very difficult to identify junk literature in the public domain, the following features can be used to recognize them: 1) works displaying unusual fantasy, 2) works stimulating erotic desires, 3) works lacking purpose other than entertainment, and 4) works denying human reason and moral existence.
            Beware of junk literature! It cannot nourish our mind. It cannot uplift our moral existence. It cannot lift our spirit and vigil our conscience. It is often for convenience that people choose junk literature for reading. They come in attractive packages and easy composition. They are easy to read and can be completed in one sitting. But the after effects of reading them are as dangerous and as numerous as the after effects of consuming junk food.
            Most of these bestselling junk literature works come in ‘use and throw’ module. The authors and their publishers know very well that the value of them will come to an end after the first reading. After that these books will end up in dust bins. Hence, they limit the quality of such books to ‘use and throw’ module.

            Beware of junk literature. Man is the most precious creation in the universe. He is a spiritual, moral and conscientious being. He needs nourishment for his mind on an everyday basis. He needs more than junk literature to achieve this task.

EVOLUTION RELOADED: DECODING TREE OF LIFE AND THE DESCENT OF MAN

EBOOK AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY Excerpts from the book EVOLUTION RELOADED "The latest in the series of defenses that tried to safeguard Darwinism came from Molecular Biology. Highly advanced and complicated research method called DNA Sequencing which could analyze human composition not at the levels of Morphology, Anatomy or Genetics, but at the level of molecules, supported Darwinism stating that chimpanzees and human beings shared the highest possible DNA sequences among all the existing animals. But this study also shed light on the denying fact that cats and cows, who according to Darwinism descended from a common ancestor along with human beings in the distant past, share 90% of DNA sequences with human beings. The same DNA sequencing also showed the contradictory fact that bananas share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. Similarly, fruit fly and red Jungle fowl [a kind of chicken] share 60% DNA Sequences with human beings. These results speak themselves that DNA Sequencing ...

WHAT AFTER MODI SARKAR? ALTERNATIVES BEYOND NEHRUVIAN SOCIALISM & HINDUTVA NATIONALISM

AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY This book is the first of the three books which come under the series POLITICAL PROPHESY. This book deals with the topic of ongoing political evolution in the Indian subcontinent, which, of course, has undeniable relations with its not yet fully discovered past and seemingly uncertain future. The second book in the series deals with the nature of an unavoidable socio-political upheaval that cannot fail to grapple the subcontinent in the not so distant future. The third book explores the emerging new facets of feudalism in what is presumably a digital age civilization with artificial intelligence and knowledge economy. This book is not intended to sabotage or tarnish Modi Sarkar, in the sense that criticism does not mean any effort to sabotage or tarnish something. This book must be seen as a sincere enquiry of an honest citizen who thinks about the future of India. On a very moderate scale the author of this book intents to look forward to the uncertain future ...

INDIA DECODED: A HISTORY OF INDIA BEYOND COMMUNAL NARRATIVE

AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY This book is the first of the three books which come under the series HISTORY UNLEASHED. This book deals with the history of India from its known beginnings to our own times. The second book in the series deals with the history of Europe. The third book explores the history of the world.  This book undertakes to interpret the history of India from the point of view of a logical pattern that explores historical progress on the basis of civilization cycles. We have a number of books that deal with the history of India in the academic domain as well as in the public domain. But most of these works undertake to do the description of various events with reference to chronology. Such kind of historical explorations have left the people of the subcontinent into a confusing realm of intellectual anarchy. The current state of the society in the subcontinent is directly proportional to the chaos in its historical domain.  As against usual chronological descripti...
