Summary, etc. Fittingly, the Book University's first book is the Mahabharata, summarised by no less a person than C. Rajagopalachari, one of the greatest of living Indians; the second is on the Gita by H. V. Divatia, an eminent jurist and a student of philosophy. Centuries ago, it was proclaimed that "What is not in it is nowhere." After twenty-five centuries we can say the same thing. Who knows it not, knows not life, its beauty, its trials, its tragedy and its grandeur.<br/><br/>The Mahabharata is not a mere epic. It is also a romance, a tale of heroic men and women and of some who were divine, a whole literature, a whole code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations and of speculative thought, with its core of the Gita, the noblest of scriptures and the grandest saga working up to the Apocalypse in the Eleventh Canto.<br/><br/>The literature of India, ancient and modern, through all its languages, will also be brought into a common pool easily accessible to all. Books in other languages which may illustrate these principles will also be included. The world, in all its sordidity, was, I felt, too much around us. Nothing will lift, inspire and uplift as beauty and aspiration learnt through books,<br/><br/>
