2 From the Director 2 It gives me great pleasure to wish a very happy new year to all members, friends and well-wishers of the Doon Library & Research Centre. We are indeed very happy to bring a fresh edition of our newsletter Himadri. The past few months since the last issue have seen the library continue its steady progress. The number of books has now reached 15,000 which was one of the informal and unstated landmarks that we eyed when we started at the end of 200. We feel extremely satisfied in getting there in just over five years. To be honest I had initially given ourselves much longer for getting there. Reason enough to feel very satisfied. Another landmark that we have crossed in the past few months is the total membership having crossed This past year, responding to requests from many of our existing and prospective members, we introduced a new category of life members. The response has exceeded our expectations. We now have a total of 1114 members consisting of 1059 annual members, 52 life members and 3 institutional members. Our efforts to get more institutional members have not borne fruit. This past year we decided to invite some of the leading private schools of the city to become institutional members. We have had no response so far. We also offered institutional membership free of charge to all Government intermediate colleges in the city. Only one school came forward. We believe that membership of the library will be of great benefit to the teachers. Our members have also been making good use of our facilities. Both the reading rooms are full with readers all through the day. At times we also fall short of sitting space in the reading rooms. The members have also been active in borrowing books from the library, During the last three months of 2011 a total of 1755 books were borrowed by our members: 530 in October, 04 in November and 21 in December. All these developments give us enough reason for cheer. Along with cheer comes some despondency as well, caused mainly by the severe shortage of space that we are facing. We now have hardly any space to accommodate new books. The library, however, cannot stop growing by acquiring new books. A stagnant library, as they say, is a dead library. This poses a real dilemma for us. We are now trying desperately to solve the severe space crunch. Our first priority is to get permission to build additional space in our present premises. Simultaneously we are also trying to get money from the Government of Uttarakhand for this purpose. We realise that our present building is not really suited for the purpose of a library. Ideally, the library should have a separate building especially designed to suit its needs. Failing that we have to make the best of what we have. The big advantage of our present premises is its location in the heart of the city. As a result our members find it very convenient to approach the library. We request all members and well-wishers to raise their voice in support of our quest for more space. We need more space for stacking books, for our reading rooms, working space for the library staff and at least one hall for holding talks, presentations, seminars etc. I hope you will all agree that Dehradun deserves a first rate library.

Ranganathan, the father of Library Science in India. Shri Yogendra Singh, Librarian, IIT, Roorkee was the chief guest on the occasion. Paying tributes to dr Ranganathan and his contribution to library science in the world and to the growth of the library in movement in India, he referred to a book on the 100 great librarians of America wherein it was mentioned that many of the great librarians would not have achieved what they were able to achieve if the example of Dr Ranganathan was not before them. Dr BK Joshi said that the difference between the developed and not so developed societies was the presence or absence of a robust library system. Shri KC Saxena, Librarian, Doon Library and Research Centre was conferred a Lifetime Achievement Award by the CGLA for devoting nearly 50 years of his life in the field of Library Science. Shri V.P. Singh, who had recently retired as librarian of the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology was also honoured by the CGLA for his contribution. The programme was compered by Shri D.K.

A number of prominent citizens of Dehradun were present on the occasion. Speaking on the occasion Dr BK Joshi, Director, Doon Library and Research Centre recalled Prof. Pant s great contribution to laying the groundwork for building the university as a centre of excellence and complemented him for starting academic activity in the Doon University. Prof Pant thanked the eminent citizens of Dehradun for their cooperation extended to him during his tenure. He hoped that this cooperation would be extended to his successor also. Paul Coelho; A New Youth Icon A novelist with a liking for abstract philosophy is a very unlikely candidate for being a youth icon. But if the preferences of the young readers are anything to go by he certainly qualifies. Some of his works like The Alchemist and Eleven Minutes have been translated in Hindi also. One reason could be the thinnes of the size of his works. That prevents the reader from being intimidated. One young reader said that as she was going out of town the next day she wanted to have The Alchemist issued. It took sometime to find that book. A suggestion that she could have another Coelho novel angered her. She said that yesterday she had gone to a friends place and she read twenty odd pages from The Alchemist and she would settle for nothing else. 7

8 8 Fortunately we were able to find The Alchemist for her. The joy was similar to that of a child who had discovered her favourite toy. Auriol Weigold, Churchill, Roosevelt and India, Propaganda During World War II, New Delhi, 2009 The work under review makes an intensive study of a important issue, which would interest all scholars of history, international relations and media. The subject dealt with deals with the American interest in India during the second world war, especially after the Japanese occupation of Burma after it captured Indonesia, French Indo-China and Malaya. The importance of India increased as it was going to be a base for the Allied operations in South-East Asia. Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister had asserted that he had not become the King s first minister to preside over the liquidation of the empire. But their was pressure from President Roosevelt to make a settlement with the Indian nationalists. The Cripps Mission was sent to India with this purpose. As subsequent events proved it was essentially a device to buy time. The British colonial government in India had been bracing itself to face a confrontation with the Congress since The Japanese would wait till the monsoon season was over before they could think of an attack on India through Burma. Two million personnel were recruited in the British Indian Army. Such a huge army could be used to suppress any movement launched by the Congress. Therefore was Churchill was in no mood to make any concessions to Indian nationalism. In order to convince the Americans a huge propaganda machinery was set up by His Majesty s Government. Roosevelt, however had his own sources of information in order to assess the situation in India. This book gives a detailed factual account about the role of Louis Johnson, who was the President s personal representative in India as well as the role of American Indpophiles such as Louis Fischer and Edgar Snow in presenting true facts about India before the American public. The British propaganda line blaming the communal problem and the inability of the nationalist leadership for taking the responsibility of self government was not believed by the American press. Churchill was concerned that his failure to come up with a viable agreement with the Indian nationalists could jeopardize American aid to British India. Because of Churchills die hard attitude the Cripps mission was doomed to be a failure. A vast propaganda machinery in Washington was at work to convince the Americans that it was the communal imbroglio and the rigidity of the Indian nationalists which was to be blamed for the failure. Their was considerable sympathy in America for the cause of Indian nationalism. However, the decision of the Congress to launch the Quit India movement in August, 1942, cooled off that sympathy and Churchill was able to win the propaganda battle for the time being. This study should stimulate more studies of this nature. India s independence in 1947 started the process of decolonization. Between 1945 and 1947 how did America view political developments in India should become the subject matter of another study After 1919 the Government of India was a juridical entity. There was an Agent General representing India in Washington. Girja Shankar Bajpai, who held the office from 1942 till 1947, had his own views on the issue of political developments in India. These views have been mentioned at some length in this book. It would be interesting to see how he presented the case of India after An India League functioned in America also. The activities of the League could be a subject of another book, especially in the period after This particular study has defined a framework to study the historical background of Indo-US relations. - Manoj Panjani
