Well, for me & people who know the truth, today's the day when one should remember Jadunath Sinha, a well-respected philosopher, writer & religious seeker, a student whose thesis was stolen by his teacher, Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.
Happy Teacher's Day, Prof. J. Sinha 🙂. +

Jadunath Sinha bagged Philip Samuel Smith Prize & Clint Memorial Prize after passing B.A. (Honours in Philosophy) (1915), Griffith Prize (1923), Mouat Medal of the CU (1925) after passing M.A. ++
Calcutta University had appointed Brajendranath Seal and Dr. Radhakrishnan as examiners of the parts of thesis that were submitted by Jadunath Sinha. According to Prof. Jadunath Sinha, though Radhakrishnan's book Indian Philosophy Vol. II, which incorporated the ++
extensively stolen paragraphs of Jadunath Sinha's thesis (Vol.I and II), was published in 1927, he had noticed the copyright infringement (plagiarism) only in November 1928.
Prof. Jadunath Sinha lodged a serious complaint in the Modern Review (M.R.) magazine through a letter dated December 20, 1928, which was published in the M.R. issue of January 1929.
Dr. Radhakrishnan had published another book titled "The Vedanta according to Sankara and Ramanuja" in 1928, which was actually a reprint of Chapters 8 & 9 of his book "Indian Philosophy Vol. II. ++
That book also had extensive pirated paragraphs from Prof. Jadunath Sinha's Premchand Roychand Studentship thesis. Prof. Jadunath Sinha had published extracts from those two parts of his Premchand Roychand Studentship thesis in the Meerut College Magazines of 1924 and 1926.
Prof. Sinha followed up his first letter to the M.R. by writing three more letters that were published in Modern Review's magazine's Feb, March & April 1929 issues. Radhakrishnan denied the claims and tried to defame Prof. Jadunath Sinha.
In the first half of the month of August 1929, Prof. Sinha filed a case in the Calcutta High Court against Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan for infringement of his copyrights. Sinha claimed damages for Rs 20,000.
In the first week of September 1929, in order to salvage his reputation, Dr. Radhakrishnan filed a counter libel suit against Prof. Jadunath Sinha and Shri Ramananda Chattopadhyay, the editor of Modern Review demanding Rs. 1,00,000.
Prof. Sinha's case was very strong as he had the already published articles as proofs but the cost of litigation was too high. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee had to intervene & the suits were settled out of court.
Prof. Sinha was very much admired by his teachers, so much that he was appointed as an Asst. Prof. in Ripon College even before his M.A. results were declared. Later, Prof. Sinha became a versatile writer of Philosophy & Psychology. His books were published by famous publishers.
Even today, Prof. Jadunath Sinha who was the original philosopher of Hinduism & Indian Philosophy, Psychology, is revered by the students of philosophy.

The article written by Utpal Aich was well researched & written but it seems that the page has now been removed by Google to erase the truth. So much for freedom of expression. Truth can be hidden, not defeated. Jadunath Sinha's contributions will remain alive. 😊

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।
