Aavaran By S. L. Bhairappa

विस्मरणाने सत्य झाकोळून टाकणाऱ्या मायेला`आवरण` म्हणतात... मला कळायला लागल्यापासून `सत्यअसत्याचा प्रश्न` हा छळणारा प्रश्न आहे... हीच समस्या `आवरण`मध्ये समूह आणि संपूर्ण राष्ट्राच्या पातळीवर उफाळून आली आहे... ...मागे कुणीतरी केलेल्या चुकांसाठी आजचे जबाबदार नाहीत हे तर खरंच, पण मागच्यांशी नातं जोडून `आपण त्यांचेच वारसदार` या भावनेत आपण अडकणार असू, तर त्यांनी केलेल्या कर्माची जबाबदारी स्वीकारावी लागेल. इतिहासाकडून मिळवण्याइतकंच, त्याच्याकडून सोडवून घेणं हे परिपक्वतेचं द्योतक आहे. प्रत्येक धर्म, जाती आणि व्यक्तीला लागू पडणारी गोष्ट आहे ही... What is a cover? The `Maya` which engulfs the truth in the folding of oblivion is the cover. Since I gained manhood, I have been often wondering about the truth and untruth, it has made my life impossible. This same problem has surfaced up on a national level through this book. It is very true that those who are living today are not responsible for the actions done in the past by someone else. But if we are going to take the credit of being the descendants of our ancestors then we will have to carry on the responsibilities for the deeds done by them. Maturity does not lie only in gaining from History; on the contrary maturity is revealed more properly if one succeeds in cutting the umbilical cord binding one to the history. This is applicable to all the human beings apart from his or her religion, caste, creed, and personality. Dr. S.L. Bhairappa.
