Nirmal Verma Was Particularly Fond Of The Essays In Shabd Aur Smriti. He Called Them Essays Of Personal Brooding, In Which He Attempted To Assess The Process Of Returning To Oneself. Modernity, Which So Successfully Shattered The Conventions Of The Victorian Era, Gradually Began To Appear As A Convention Itself. From Its Womb Arose Its Own Unique Superstitions. In These Essays, Nirmal Ji Casts Doubt On Those Very Superstitions, Conventional Fashions, And Formulas. He Also Attempts To Expose The Dual Nature Of The Indian Self, A Result Of The Duality Of Tradition And Modernity. This Process, In A Way, Becomes An Examination Of His Own Soul. Today, In The Second Decade Of The Twenty-First Century, We Feel The Need For This Review Even More. A Different Perspective, Acquired During His Long Stay In Europe, Is Also Visible Here, Which Views The Integral Components Of Indian Consciousness From A Distance, And Also The Values Associated With Them. The Juxtaposition Of The Rationality Of The West And The Transcendental Totality Of India Makes These Essays More Interesting.
