Patradoot Or the Messenger 3/Many

Patradoot or The Messenger 3/Many Originally written in Hindi by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor English version by Ravindra K Kapoor The moment you will hear, the voice of my heart, You will become pious, like the showering raindrops, Taking shapes from my expressions, To shower the rains of Love, on my beloved’s heated heart. Ravindra Kanpur India. 11th May 2010 to continue in 4 Transliteration of Hindi poem in English- Patradoot or the Messenger. Sunte Hi Sangeet Hradaya Ka, Tu Pavitra Ho Jayega, Udgaron Ka Rup Dharega, Prem Virsti Burseyega. By Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor Freedom Fighter and writer, Poet & Dramatist (1889-1994) Background of this Epic The Patradoot was written originally by my later 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 got freedom in 15th Aug. 1947) my father was in active movement as Congressman and Gandhi’s non violent soldier. For many a time he was imprisoned for many months to more than a years sometimes. During one such imprisonment he wrote this epic and sent it to my mother secretly as a gift for her and to get it printed and 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 was circulated also, but the British confiscated the book and 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 epic and the sacrifices of my patents towards India’s freedom struggle. Gandhi 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. 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 Unfortunately many of his World class work could not be published so far and Patradoot is one of them. Ravindra
