LIBRARIAN AT LOHIA NAGAR MOUNT CARMEL HIGH SCHOOL, PATNA

Online craze deals bodyblow to library culture

PATNA: The old libraries of the state capital, like Sinha Library and Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library, which once upon a time were among the pride of Patna, have been thumbed down by city youth. With the advent of e Notes, GradeSaver, Cliff Notes and Wikipedia, the cult of thronging libraries and browsing through piles of books has been shown back door by them, as now not books but Internet is considered the best friends by theseNet-savvy youngsters.

Empty reading rooms and dusty tables and chairs are a common sight in most of the city libraries. It is sad to note that world-renowned Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library, which has stood tall against time and tide since 1891 and is known for its rare collection of Persian and Arabic manuscripts around the globe, now attracts only a handful of readers.

Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library (Patna) to publish its Catalogue

PATNA: Tagore National Fellow Prof S P Verma on Sunday delivered a lecture on 'Persian, Turkish and Indian paintings in the Khuda Bakhsh Collection' under the Khuda Bakhsh Extension Lecture at the Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Library. Patna University VC Shambhu Nath Singh presided over the function.

Library director Imtiaz Ahmad spoke about the progress being made in connection with the compilation of a descriptive catalogue of Illustrated Manuscripts of the Khuda Bakhsh Collection. He expressed the hope that by next year this catalogue would be available in print.

Verma said the rare illustrated manuscripts at the library, which related to a period spanning more than half-a-millennium - from the 15th century to the 19th century - make this collection a centre of international repute. He cited in particular the four manuscripts of the library, identified among the Manuscripts Treasure of India by the National Mission of Manuscripts. These include two Arabic manuscripts, Kitab al-Hashaish and Kitab al-Tasreef and two Persian manuscripts, Diwan-e Hafiz and Tarikh-e Khandan-e Timuriyah. The last-mentioned has also been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2011, he said.

He displayed digital images of the paintings of different styles - Persian, Turkish and Indian - that are in the Khuda Bakhsh Collection and dwelt at length on the features of these paintings. He outlined the past antecedents going back to ancient India and the reinvigorating effect brought by the Central Asian and Iranian schools along with the new experiments that were imbibed from European paintings in the Mughal period. He also highlighted the distinct features of the Patna Qalam, the local style of painting that developed in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, and represented a fine blend of traditional Mughal and new European influences.

In his presidential speech, Prof. Shambhu Nath Singh paid rich tribute to the founder of the library, Khuda Bakhsh Khan, and appreciated the work of cataloguing of illustrated manuscripts. He expressed the hope that this would enable a larger number of people across the world to get acquainted with the rarities of the library.

किताबें हैं, लाइब्रेरियन नहीं

पटना यूनिवर्सिटी के दरभंगा हाउस की लाइब्रेरी का हाल-बेहाल है. यहां की कोई लाइब्रेरी असिस्टेंट लाइब्रेरियन, तो कोई चपरासी की बदौलत चल रही है. रिटायर्ड होने के बाद से अब तक नहीं हुई है लाइब्रेरियन की नियुक्ति.

पटना : पटना यूनिवर्सिटी का दरभंगा हाउस. कहने को तो यहां एक दर्जन से अधिक पुस्तकालय है. यानी हर विभाग का अपना पुस्तकालय. लेकिन, इनकी स्थिति ‘हरि अनंत हरि’ कथा अनंता वाली है.

किसी लाइब्रेरी में लाइब्रेरियन नहीं हैं. कोई चपरासी के भरोसे चल रहा है, तो किसी लाइब्रेरी को यूनिवर्सिटी द्वारा छह हजार मानदेय पर रखे गये एडहॉक के रूप में असिस्टेंट लाइब्रेरियन चला रहे हैं. इस व्यवस्था के चलते परेशानी स्टूडेंट्स को होती है. हिस्ट्री, पोलिटिकल साइंस, कॉमर्स, इकोनॉमिक्स समेत तकरीबन सभी पुस्तकालयों की हालत कमोबेस एक जैसी है.

हिस्ट्री विभाग सबसे बड़ा

हिस्ट्री विभाग की लाइब्रेरी सबसे बड़ी और समृद्ध है. लेकिन, इसकी हालत भी ठीक नहीं है. कभी यहां चार-चार लाइब्रेरियन होते थे, लेकिन आज एक भी लाइब्रेरियन नहीं है. फिलहाल एक चपरासी और यूनिवर्सिटी द्वारा नियुक्त किये गये एक असिस्टेंट लाइब्रेरियन के भरोसे चल रही है यह लाइब्रेरी. असिस्टेंट लाइब्रेरियन राजकिशोर सिंह ने बताया कि इस लाइब्रेरी में करीब 65 हजार से अधिक किताबें हैं. इस बार कुछ नयी किताबें भी आयी हैं, लेकिन किताबें ठीक तरीके से रखने की जगह नहीं है. कम जगह में ज्यादा छात्रों के पढ़ने की सुविधा नहीं दी जा सकती है, इसलिए अधिकतर छात्र इच्छा रहते हुए भी लाइब्रेरी का फायदा नहीं उठा पाते.

कई लोगों की संवरी है किस्मत

हिस्ट्री विभाग की लाइब्रेरी का समृद्ध इतिहास रहा है. यहां पढ़ कर कई स्टूडेंट्स ने देश-दुनिया में अपना नाम रोशन किया है. इसमें राज्य के पहले मुख्यमंत्री श्री बाबू, आचार्य किशोर कुणाल, एसएस असगरी, प्रो. आरएस शर्मा, प्रो. केके दत्ता, आरसीपी सिन्हा, अशोक सिंह, विश्वरंजन, विजय कुमार समेत अन्य शामिल हैं.

कई सालों से नहीं हुई है बहाली

हिस्ट्री विभाग के प्रो. अमरेंद्र कुमार सिंह ने बताया कि पहले सभी विभागों की लाइब्रेरी में लाइब्रेरियन होते थे. लेकिन जैसे-जैसे वे रिटायर्ड होते गये, उनकी जगह बहाली नहीं होने से संख्या घटती गयी और आज स्थिति यह है कि किसी भी पुस्तकालय में लाइब्रेरियन नहीं है. डिपार्टमेंट ऑफ अप्लायड इकोनॉमिक्स के हेड चंद्रमा सिंह ने बताया कि अभी पब्लिक एडमिनिस्ट्रेशन विभाग में एक असिस्टेंट लाइब्रेरियन हैं, जो एक साथ दो-तीन लाइब्रेरी को देखते हैं. लेकिन

वह भी जल्दी ही रिटायर्ड होने वाले हैं.

दरभंगा हाउस के विभाग

दरभंगा हाउस में 20 से अधिक विषयों में पीजी की पढ़ाई होती है. इसमें अरबी, बंगाली, इंग्लिश, हिन्दी, मैथिली, पर्सियन, संस्कृत, उर्दू, राजनीति विज्ञान, इतिहास, पब्लिक एडमिनिस्ट्रेशन, कॉमर्स, इकोनॉमिक्स, वीमेंस स्टडी सर्किल आदि विषय शामिल हैं. सभी विषयों के लिये अलग-अलग लाइब्रेरी है.

Treasure trove

By FAIZAN AHMAD

Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library, Patna, a unique repository of about 21,000 oriental manuscripts, preserves this rich collection written in gold and colour. It has emerged as an internationally-known centre for research in Indo-Islamic literature and medieval history. The 121-year- old library is well on its way to become the country's first library to computerize its handwritten collection for universal dissemination through a website in fulfillment of the wishes of Jawaharlal Nehru. The first prime minister, during his visit to the library, had penned down in the visitor's book on November 1, 1953, "I should like to see them reproduced by the latest techniques, so that others can see them and share in this joy."
