Vice President Releases Book “Sunrise in Slums”INVC,
Delhi,
The Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari released a book entitled “Sunrise in Slums” authored by Padamshri Dr. Ravindra Nath Shrivastava ‘Rajhans’, a renowned poet at a function here today. Addressing on the occasion, he said that Poverty, wherever it exists in any form, is an eloquent commentary on failure of our society. Economists look at it in one way and political figures look at it in a different way. Both are valid and both are incomplete. Whenever poverty has been written about by a writer or poet, new meanings and sentiments emerge. The translation of this book in other languages will help in its wider reach to people. 
 
The book is an anthology of Dr Shrivastava’s poems in Hindi and is unique in the sense that it has poems both in Hindi and its translated version in English side by side, to reach out to larger audience. It is essentially on the helpless and hapless street children of the Third World countries, who look for the support of the priviledged sections of the society so that they could also lead their childhood phase of life like a normal child.
