The Legends on Their Own Rights.
The scholarly and professional author Vivekananda Jha in his trilogy of the living legends of Mithila has achieved a milestone in his discovery of the immense talents and dexterity of Maithils around the globe.
The anthology book titled "The Living Legends of Mithila -Part-2" featuring 25 legends is an exceptional work that highlights an array of prominent personalities from different fields of life bringing forth their manifold traits such as their individual achievements, their distinctions in various settings, their literary acumen, their internationally acclaimed diplomatic merit, their contributions to the domain of education and further afield, their meteoric rise in the political arena, their artistic and creative excellence, their yeoman services to the fields of health care and research, their scintillating performances in serving the society in a selfless manner and their stellar reputation as figures of top quality nature.
It is ideal to dwell upon the salient features concerning this book rather than concentrating upon the merits of each and every great figure in it. When a perusal is done on the book in an objective manner, it is filled to capacity with details of minutest nature concerning the eminent figures referred to here. They all fought and won their battles in their respective domains. They stood up for their rights. They never accepted no for an answer. They explored, searched, knocked and strove till they accomplished what they set out to achieve in their lives. They fought tooth and nail for the accomplishment of what they intended to do. They had marathon races to be on the top of their games when it came to the areas of their operations or specialisations.
They were never running with the currents in life; rather they ran against the currents, walked through the untrodden path and travelled through the uncharted territories to be colossal figures in their chosen fields of life. They never put their guards down in life. When they had opposition and brickbats from different quarters, they stood their grounds and did what they strongly believed in. They are not made of the ordinary clay with which we are formulated, that is why they are forces to reckon with in terms of their life.
All these paramount figures whose lives have been thoroughly dealt with in this book are shining stars in terms of many areas of life. Some of them proved their mettle as poetic bigwigs who gave emphasis to poetry of spontaneous and genuine pedigree. Their poetic works are based upon nature, social issues and the need to transform society through humanity and humility. They have used poetry as a medium to open innovative pathways to new realities and different ways of doing things.
There are others in this book who have excelled as dramatists, educationalists and international figures of sum and substance. Through their activities, they have channelised the society's energy into social causes meant to protect the vulnerable sections of the society. The main hallmark of all their efforts has been to be the change makers in this world of pessimism, scepticism and cynicism. They are in fact individual crusaders who have become pioneers in terms of what they have done as human beings.
Certain indubitably spirited figures mentioned in the book have stayed put in the world of arts and crafts to become cultural icons. Through their tremendous work, they have shown to the world that everything is possible in this world if the minds are deprived of fear and the heads are lifted up with an attitude of confidence.
