tastes, attitude and aptitude of the people and would inculcate in them respect for other's virtues and achievements. This would take society towards progress and development.
No society can undertake the path of progress and development merely with the help of money and wealth alone. Only making society virtuous and progress-oriented in actual practice can do that. I crave for the establishment of such a society.
I am more than confident that the efforts of Kumarpal Desai in enlightening the people about he superhuman acts of the physically handicapped will inspire them to emulate such brave acts and will kindle sparks of courage and bravery in the life of each one of them. The book adequately highlights the greatness of man's mind with which one can achieve anything one aspires for. The stories of valour and bravery of the men and women whose achievements have been highlighted in this book will inspire others to resolve that they too can do so with utmost determination and firm intention on their part.
I sincerely wish that Kumarpal continues to contribute this kind of literature in the days to come so that society as a whole is greatly benefited in changing its orientation towards real progress and development.
The special feature of the style with which Kumarpal writes is clearly noticeable in the columns that he contributes in the Gujarat Samachar. Nevertheless, the style with which this book has been written by him is very simple, intelligible even to a lay mean and most appropriate for each of the events that he has narrated in the book. He has mastered the art of expressing the acts of valour and courage of those who have turned what is generally thought to be impossible into a reality in their actual life. I hope, he pens down many such writings in the future to come.
I once again congratulate him for writing this book.
