Dear Debaprasad,
Here are my two cents comments on your thoughtful piece on the above novel. To say the least, I thoroughly enjoyed your article. It is deep, multi-dimensional and thought-provoking. However, I still have some comments even though you might not like them.
1. I don't know why you adopted a winding approach instead of being direct at the beginning of the paper. I think that it is better to state at the early part of the paper what are the things you would like to address?
2. Who is Kakar (spelling)?
3. Why did you mention Mill? He is presently almost never referred to insofar as his views on "causality" is concerned.
4. How could something whose subject matter pertains to dehumanized subject matter be individualistic? In one sense, Ayurvedic practice is holistic and is directed to a single individual's health compared to western medicine. However, it would also be a mistake on my part if I imply that the present day western medicine does not care about what sort of food a patient/subject should take.
5. What is Ulysses syndrome?
6. You brought to our attention nicely that in "Ganadevata" how individuals took the initiative first followed by the governmental help when an epidemic broke out in ShivKalipur.
7. Don't follow your reasoning behind mentioning Debiprasad Chattapadhyay's work here.
9. It is interesting to note that while talking about Jivan Moshai in the early part of the article you made us aware that he combined both modern medicine ( at least to some extent) and Aurvedic medicine together. So it is not that it is either East or West and there is nothing in between. However, at the end, you seem to label his conception of death as very personal and individualistic.
10. If I recall your one comment, then it seems to give the impression clearly that you think that it is the elite who contributes in a major way in guiding the society.
Thanks for sending me your wonderful paper. Please take my comments with a grain of salt
