About this book

जगण्याला जसं एक कारण लागतं तसं धावण्यालाही एक कारण, एक मार्ग लागतो. स्वतःतूनच तयार झालेला एक रस्ता लागतो. एक आकृती आणि एक आशय सुद्धा लागतो. यांपैकी काहीच नसलं तर नुसतं धावणं, धावत सुटणं निरर्थक ठरतं. अशा धावण्यात चिक्कार फिरल्यासारखी धावणाऱ्याची भ्रामक समजूत होत असली तरी भ्रमाचा भोपळा फुटल्यावर मात्र कारणाशिवाय धावणं वाया गेलं असं वाटायला लागतं.

उत्तम कांबळे या विचारवंत लेखकानं ‘वेड्यांची शर्यत’ या पुस्तकात अशाच निरर्थक धावणाऱ्यांच्या या वेडाबद्दल लिहिलं आहे. ‘अभियंत्यांचा महापूर,’ ‘सिग्नलवरचा भारत,’ ‘मळ्याकडे धावताहेत गावं,’ ‘पैसा फेको, देव देखो,’ व ‘फलकावरचे समाजरक्षक’ अशा लेखांमधून समाजाचा भ्रमाचा भोपळा फोडायचा प्रयत्न केला आहे.

Just as life needs a purpose, running too requires a reason—a path. It needs a road that emerges from within oneself. It also needs a form and a meaning. Without any of these, merely running—running aimlessly—becomes meaningless. In such running, one may feel as though they have traveled far, but when the illusion bursts, it becomes clear that running without purpose was futile.

In “Race of the Mad,” thinker and writer Uttam Kamble writes about this very madness of purposeless running. Through essays like “The Flood of Engineers,” “India at the Signal,” “Villages Running Toward the Cities,” “Throw Money, See God,” and “Society Protectors on the Hoardings,” he attempts to burst the bubble of illusion that surrounds society.

About the author

Uttam Kamble

उत्तम कांबळे यांचा जन्म ३१ मे १९५६ रोजी कर्नाटक राज्यातील बेळगावी जिल्ह्यातील चिक्कोडी तालुक्यात एका गरीब ग्रामीण कुटुंबात झाला. त्यांचे बालपण अत्यंत साध्या आणि कष्टमय परिस्थितीत गेले. त्यांच्या आईला फारसे औपचारिक शिक्षण नव्हते आणि लहानपणी उत्तम कांबळे आईला घरातील दैनंदिन कामांमध्ये मदत करत असत. अनेक अडचणी असूनही आपल्या कुटुंबात औपचारिक शिक्षण घेणारे ते पहिले व्यक्ती ठरले.

तरुणपणी त्यांनी शिक्षण सुरू ठेवण्यासाठी खूप कष्ट केले. शिक्षण घेत असतानाच त्यांनी स्वतःचा खर्च भागवण्यासाठी विविध छोटी-मोठी कामे केली. कधी वस्तू विकण्याचे काम तर कधी पेपरबॉय म्हणून वर्तमानपत्रे वाटण्याचे काम त्यांनी केले. या सुरुवातीच्या संघर्षांनी त्यांच्या मनात जिद्द आणि चिकाटी निर्माण केली. याच जिद्दीमुळे त्यांनी आपले शिक्षण पूर्ण केले आणि पुढे यशस्वी वाटचाल सुरू केली.

उत्तम कांबळे यांनी १९७८ साली कोल्हापूर येथील Shivaji University मधून राज्यशास्त्र विषयात बी.ए. पदवी प्राप्त केली. पदवी घेतल्यानंतर १९७९ साली त्यांनी समाज या छोट्या मराठी दैनिकातून पत्रकारितेच्या क्षेत्रात आपल्या कारकिर्दीची सुरुवात केली.

१९८२ साली त्यांनी Sakal Media Group मध्ये प्रवेश केला. महाराष्ट्रातील अग्रगण्य माध्यमसंस्थांपैकी असलेल्या या संस्थेत त्यांनी पुढील संपूर्ण कारकीर्द घडवली. पत्रकारिता, लेखन आणि संपादकीय कार्याच्या माध्यमातून त्यांनी महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान दिले.

Uttam Kamble was born on 31 May 1956 in a poor rural family in Chikkodi Taluka of Belagavi district, Karnataka. He grew up in very humble circumstances, and his mother had little formal education. As a child, Uttam often helped her with daily work at home. Despite these challenges, he became the first person in his family to receive formal education.

During his youth, he worked hard to support himself while continuing his studies. He took up small jobs such as selling goods and delivering newspapers as a paperboy. These early struggles shaped his determination and helped him continue his education, eventually leading him toward a successful career.

Uttam Kamble completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Shivaji University, Kolhapur, in 1978. After graduating, he began his journalism career in 1979 by joining a small Marathi daily newspaper called Samaj.

In 1982, he joined the Sakal Media Group, one of the leading media organizations in Maharashtra. From that point onward, he continued his professional journey with the Sakal Group, dedicating the rest of his career to journalism and making significant contributions through his writing and editorial work
