摘要
This essay portrays some of the hitherto unknown protagonists of the first half of the 20th century who imbibed, radiated and reinforced the spirit of science and swadeshi by initiating science writings in Hindi. Their efforts enhanced and ensured accessibility to science for students, local entrepreneurs and the general public of the Hindi-speaking sphere that geographically and demographically constituted a large part of the subcontinent. Among the science writers including teachers and amateur entrepreneurs of this period were hitherto unknown individuals like Mahesh Charan Sinha, Lakshmi Chand, Pandit Tejshankar Kochak, Shankar Rao Joshi, Shitala Prasad Tiwari, Phuldeo Sahay Verma, Nihalkaran Sethi, Mukund Swarup Verma, Gorakh Prasad, Satyaprakash and Braj Mohan to name a few.
