Patradoot Or the Messenger 2nd of Many

Patradoot or The Messenger 2/Many Originally written in Hindi by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kaporr around 1932 English version Being a prisoner I can bring my beloved, In my mind through meditation only, Due to separation from my beloved, I can sing My expressions coming out from my heart, Before you only, my dear letter. Ravindra Kanpur India 10th May 2010 to continue in 03/Many Patradoot or The Messenger 5/Many English version by Ravindra K Kapoor Background of this Epic The Patradoot was written originally by my late father Dr.Amar Nath Kapoor in 1932. He had joined India’s Freedom struggle in 1920 on the call of Mahatma Gandhi. From 1920 till 1947 (India became free in 1947) my father was in active movement as Congressman & Gandhi’s non-violent soldier. For many times he was imprisoned for many months and sometime, even for more than a year. He dedicated the entire writing work to his dear wife, my late mother, who was also a co-partner with him in the freedom struggle in creating mass awareness. During one such imprisonment at Faizabad jail, he wrote this epic and sent it to my mother secretly as a gift for her and to get it printed & circulated among the masses to create awareness for India’s freedom. The book was printed by my mother in Hindi and some of this epic were circulated also, but the British confiscated the book and the press of my father around 1933. I was born in 1950 in a free India. I am trying to bring this great writing of my father in English which portrays more than the translation of the epic, so the world may come to know about this otherwise lost and forgotten great great writing and the sacrifices of my parents towards India’s freedom struggle. Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor left active politics after 1947 and devoted rest of his life in writing easy mass literature and wrote many Dramas, Poetry books, epics etc. All his other literary works were mainly written from 1955 to 1990. He left this mortal world in 1994. Unfortunately many of his World class works could not be published so far and Patradoot is one of them.
