A True Glimpse of Life on Every Page – Devnani
The State View, Jaipur
Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani, while releasing MLA Gopal Sharma’s new book “Meri Mulakatein” (My Encounters), said that this book is a testament to a personality who has illuminated the temple of the legislature with the ink of journalism. He said that “Meri Mulakatein” is a bridge between the past and the present. Every page offers a true glimpse of life. It is not just a book, but a museum of experiences, where encounters are not merely conversations, but the heartbeat of history.
Devnani congratulated Dr. Gopal Sharma, saying that he is a senior journalist who has been wielding the pen like a sword on the soil of Rajasthan for decades. He brought the suffering of rural India to the urban pages. His reporting on every issue, be it social justice, farmer movements, or political changes, influenced policies, and then, as a fierce soldier of the legislature, he raised his voice in the Rajasthan Assembly. Whether it is education, health, or rural development, his debates shake the House. Dr. Sharma is not just an MLA, but a living symbol of public service. The release of his work is an incredible moment.
Devnani said that in this book, Dr. Sharma has woven together his encounters that make ordinary life extraordinary. Through the journalist’s pen, the faces of politicians, artists, saints, and common people come alive on the pages of history. One chapter features the words of a revolutionary who still keeps the fire of the freedom struggle burning. In another, the plight of a farmer, deeply connected to the soil. In a third, the music of an artist that resonates with the soul.
Devnani said that when the confluence of journalism and politics is expressed with such beauty, it becomes literature. He said that in today’s era, when true stories are being drowned in the flood of social media, such books are a ray of light. This book will prove to be a gurukul (school of learning) for future generations. Devnani said that a journalist can become an MLA, but his soul resides in his pen. Devnani said that young people will read this book and reflect upon it. This is the power of literature.
