Chavhata

Author(s):  Santosh Shintre

चार वाटा किंवा रस्ते जिथे एकत्र येतात, ती जागा म्हणजे चव्हाटा. सार्वजनिक हिताचे विषय चर्चेसाठी येणारे सामूहिक चर्चाविश्व (पब्लिक स्फीअर) असा त्याचा अधिक गंभीर अर्थ. भारतीय निसर्ग-पर्यावरणाचा असा चव्हाटा त्याबाबतच्या आर्थिक, सामाजिक, राजकीय आणि शास्त्रीय अंगांच्या वाटांनीच साकारतो. आपला भवताल समग्र समजून घेण्यासाठी तो उपयुक्त ठरतो. अशा चव्हाट्यावरील चर्चा रोखठोक असतात. विषयाच्या एरवी कुणीतरी, कुठेतरी लपवू पहात असलेल्या काही बाजू तिथे निश्चित उमटतात. चारही रस्त्यांमार्गे आलेल्या माहितीची तिथे देवाणघेवाण होऊन प्रश्नांचे वस्तुनिष्ठ आकलन होते. त्यातल्या प्रश्नांचे सहजी न कळणारे काही पैलू चव्हाट्यावर भीडभाड न बाळगता सामोरे येतात. हे पुस्तक भारतीय निसर्ग-पर्यावरणातील काही ज्वलंत प्रश्न, त्यांच्यामागील आर्थिक, सामाजिक, राजकीय आणि शास्त्रीय गुंतागुंत अशाच रोखठोक पद्धतीने चव्हाट्यावर आणते. भारतीय निसर्गातील बऱ्याच सकारात्मक गोष्टी, सौन्दर्यही सामोरे आणते. सजग वाचकांना आणखी विचारप्रवृत्त आणि कृतीशील होण्यासाठी महत्वाचे संदर्भ पुरवते.

 

A “chavhata” is a place where four paths or roads converge. More seriously, it can be understood as a collective forum for public discussion (public sphere) where matters of public interest are debated. In the Indian context, such a chavhata emerges through the intersections of economic, social, political, and scientific dimensions of nature and environment. It becomes useful for gaining a comprehensive understanding of our surroundings.

Discussions at such a chavhata are direct and straightforward. Aspects of a topic that someone might otherwise try to hide or obscure surface clearly here. Information flowing from all four directions is exchanged, leading to an objective understanding of the issues. Some facets of the issues that are otherwise difficult to grasp come forward openly, without the crowding or confusion of everyday life.

This book brings key pressing issues of India’s natural environment, along with their economic, social, political, and scientific complexities, into such an open forum in a clear and straightforward manner. It also presents the many positive aspects and beauty of India’s nature. For attentive readers, it provides important perspectives to encourage deeper thinking and practical action.

संतोष शिंत्रे यांनी एक सूक्ष्मजीवशास्त्रज्ञ म्हणून आपल्या कारकिर्दीची सुरुवात केली. पुढे ते पर्यावरण पत्रकारितेकडे वळले. त्यानंतर त्यांनी आपल्या अभ्यासाच्या विषयांची मांडणी कथात्म रूपात करायला सुरुवात केली आणि पर्यावरणकथा हा एक नवीनच प्रकार मराठीत सुरु झाला. पर्यावरण विषयातल्या अनेक सरकारी निर्णयांकडे धोरणांकडे चिकित्सक दृष्टीने बघून त्यावर अभ्यासपूर्ण आकडेवारीनिशी लिहिलेले संतुलित लेख हे त्यांचे वैशिष्ट्य आहे.
संतोष शिंत्रे यांचे कार्य अनेक क्षेत्रांना स्पर्श करणारे आहे. वैज्ञानिकांना संशोधन-लेखनासाठी मार्गदर्शन करणाऱ्या आज्ञावलीपासून ते लेखनमित्रसारख्या लेखनकोशापर्यंत; शेल सिल्व्हरस्टाईनच्या कवितांपासून ते ‘राजा शिवछत्रपती’, ‘छत्रपतींचे आरमार’, ‘सरिता कोष’ अशा अनुवादांपर्यंत तर चालू शतकातले जागतिक व भारतीय निसर्ग पर्यावरण यासारख्या माहितीपूर्ण ग्रंथापासून ते ‘पिंक हेडेड डक’ किंवा ‘मनेर मानुषेर इंद्रजाल’ अशा कथनात्मक लेखनापर्यंत त्यांचा संचार आहे.

Santosh Shintre began his career as a microbiologist. Later, he turned toward environmental journalism. After that, he started presenting the subjects of his research in a narrative form, and this gave rise to a completely new genre in Marathi called environmental storytelling. His hallmark is balanced writing that examines many government decisions and policies in the environmental field with a critical eye and presents them with well-researched data.

Santosh Shintre’s work spans multiple fields. From guiding scientists in research and writing through manuals, to creating writing resources like Lekhanmitra; from translating Shel Silverstein’s poetry to works like Raja Shivchhatrapati, Chhatrapatīnche Aarmar, and Sarita Kosh; from informative books on global and Indian nature and environment to narrative writings like Pink Headed Duck and Maner Manushech Indrajaal, his contributions cover a wide spectrum.
