Book Description
About the Book
This is a unique volume dedicated to the various universe of human language, and to the myriad minded Dr. H.V. Trivedi, who, at the ripe young age of 94, is not only the greatest living Indian epigraphist, but is also one of the finest practitioners and exponents of the variety of human articulation. In more than hundred articles, extensive illustrations, a carefully chiseled intellectual biography of Dr. Trivedi, and an encompassing editorial, this volume traverses the entire gamut of the traditional expression of language on the Indian and magna Indian soil. It tries, like the great scholar it celebrates, to draw aside the veils shuttering our senses, to help us reassemble our dismembered personalities, and, to resurrect our fragmented 'consciousness. It explores the boundless potential of the interpretative language for mediation between past and present, nature and culture; for building bridges, through a unified sensibility.

between thinking and feeling, reference and referent. sound and sense, denotation and connotation. It e adheres to relative rather than absolute certainties, and uses ambivalence and ambiguity as torch lights to illumine the shadowy corridors of cultural history. This is thus a Volume offering homage to the amazing possibilities of the human language; and to one of the men who has fulfilled, these to the utmost.
