Maut Ke Bistar Se
Diary of a dying T.B. Patient
Part - 2 - The will to defeat death
Shri Ramanand Sagar, who became world-famous for directing and producing, the series on Ramayan in 1987, was born in 1917 near Lahore. In the year 1940-41, at the tender age of 23 years, he contracted Tuberculosis due to working day and night to make ends meet.
He was a journalist in Lahore reporting the World Wars plus doing other jobs to make ends meet. There was no cure for T.B. at that point, and patients were taken to sanatorium to meet their fate. He was transferred to Tanmarg, in Jammu and Kashmir in a similar facility and left to die.
He started writing a Subjective diary, chronicling the daily activities around him in the sanatorium, as he lay awaiting death’s visit. He started to send some pages of his diary in to an Urdu Magazine, Adab-E-Mushriq" in Lahore - a highly rated literary magazine in the 1940s. This column of his became a talk of the town, and then also got translated into Punjabi and other languages.
Prem Sagar, the fourth son of Late Ramanand Sagar, preserved these previous pages with great care and here we now present to you, an entire series of this diary. It has been anchored and presented by Ms. Sulakshana Khatri ji who is a very talented actor and a close confidant and friend of Late Dr. Ramanand Sagar. She acted in many roles in Ramayan, Alif Laila, Shri Krishna etc. T.V. serials.
The heart ranching pages of the diary have been actually used in the visuals of the video as you can see. Some of the rare footage collected by Mr. Prem Sagar which include photos from that era can be seen in these video.
Miraculously Dr. Ramanand Sagar was cured and escaped death by a quack who used snake poison (A Unani system of medicine) to cure him. After leaving Tanmarg, Ramanand Sagar became quite famous in literary circles of Lahore (current day Pakistan) and went on to witness the horrors of the Partition, on which he wrote a love story novel titled, “Aur Insaan Mar Gaya”, “And Humanity Died”.
After reaching India he made his way to Mumbai, only to be met with the leading writers of that period, who had read his works and admired his writing skills including Manto and Krishan Chander.
