Triumph Of Man

By Sharad Bedekar

This book contains a brief and simple story of the origin, progress and success of the human species as told by a staunch atheist from India. The time spread of this story naturally is thousands or millions of years and it shows how human species occupied the entire Earth starting from its animal-like life in the forests, then invented agriculture and various tools and thereafter invented its Gods, religions and cultures so as to live an improved, steady, peaceful and progressive social life all over this Earth; and finally invented modern science and scientific methods in order to acquire true knowledge of the physical, chemical and biochemical world and the Universe. All this definitely is a 'triumph of man' despite many hurdles he faced in his progress.Secondly and equally importantly this book is about Atheism. The author does not assume that there is some supreme power or God behind this Earth who is supposed to have created it, various lifeforms, the mankind and their religions and beliefs. In fact the author argues against there being any kind of God behind this world. And he being a commoner Indian and a Hindu, a significant portion of this book revolves around India and the Hindu religion, the oldest religion of the world and its beliefs. The knowledgeable people from the 'non-Indian world' may perhaps be surprised to find from this book that well-thought out atheist philosophies also were prevalent four or five thousand years back in India.In the last few articles of the book, the author gives a short account of the terrible problems and hurdles, the mankind is heading to in its near future, obstructing its pursuit of peace and happiness and even endangering the very existence of all living beings. The moral of this story is that 'no God' and 'no religion' can bring peace and happiness to man on this Earth, but radical Humanism based on Atheism has the real potential to make mankind happy forever. The author hopes that all the open minded people in the world who read this book, will find it very informative and interesting.
