In my childhood I read some books (Science fiction and fantasy) by Professor Diwaakar and liked them a lot. Unfortunately whenever I wanted to buy the books of this series (actually not series, every novel has different story some of them set in the era when traveling to moon and other planet would be common), the bookseller would ask me “who is professor Diwaakar?” Now people read “Harry Potter” and “Goosebumps” but no one knows about his novels. I haven’t found any trace of these novels on even internet.
I cherish the pleasure of reading those novels from our old library. All the books were amazing!
Samay ke Swami: A man got an old watch from his scientist uncle which could stop the time or pass the time with the speed of light. There are very funny and interesting incidents, as the man uses that watch. A fun book!
Antariksh ke hatyaare: What if the world would have been guided by some brilliant scientists and their artificial solar system? This novel tells about the consequences.
Shukra grah par dhaawa: An adventurous travelogue. Some scientists travel to Venus to find out some facts. The hero meets a beautiful girl of Venus and falls in love. It's also a sad love story, as the girl was a robot and her inventor (A crazy scientist of Venus) destroys her.
Amaanush: What if some intelligent animal like structure lived on the moon?
Paanch Yamdoot: Five scientists try to save the earth in danger.
And many more… Interesting. Isn’t it?
Let me tell you a funny story. Few years back I posted the same question (who is prof diwakar) on the internet. After 2-3 years, suddenly I searched for prof diwakar on Google and I found the very same question (posted by me). I jumped from my table that atleast there is one person who recognized prof diwakar. I answered that question and that answer came in to my own inbox. Then I came to know that was my own question.
ReplyDeleteReally his novels are amazing and they are one of the valuable part of my childhood memory.
Last night I was discussing with my father about prof Diwakar, In one of his stories they put an capsule in ear to function as ear phone of mobile, they talk to each other with device, it was in Shukra Grah.... He was much ahead of his time, I would love to read these novels again and store them with me , I sombody knows please tell me where can I get them........So ... there is one more person who knows Prof. Diwakar
DeleteHi,
DeleteI have also read some books of Prof Diwakar. On one of his novel the Hollywood film "Armageddon" was made ,although no credit was given to Prof Diwakar.
Izhar Asar wrote these science fiction in Hindi bythe pen nnames of Prof Diwaakar and Dr.Raman

Izhar Asar wrote all these science fiction in Hindi, probably first ever attempt in hindi.
ReplyDeleteSadly he is no more.

ReplyDeleteDo you know Mr. vazga, Simku of Antariksh ka Hatyara (Ihave at present), Also Amanush.Have you remember Vinoseem (Vinod Seema) a video" sorry, perhaps only image Recording by Ventilation Glass or Window Glass says 2 years mota (thickness), 15 days mota etc. Dr. Sanyal etc. I read also prof. Diwakar And Dr. Raman's books during 1975-78 when I was in High School. Wow........So memorable.
ReplyDeleteYes I do remember "Vinoseem" (Vinod Seema) Novel I read that book when I was 15 year old. The novel was inspired by a science fiction short story "Light of Other Days" written by Irish writer Bob Shaw. "Vinoseem" was the most believable science fiction novel I ever came across. I don't remember the name of the author.

Haven't heard of Vinoseem. But thank you sharing and reading this post.
DeleteI also wrote a science fiction /supernatural novel with the name "Andheron Ka Sangtarash". The story is an obsoletely new concept. अँधेरों का संगतराश लिंक: https://amzn.to/3tH4mAx
DeleteDo you know Mr. Vazga, Simku of Antariksh Ka Hatyara (Ihave at present, Amanush Also), VinoSeem (Vinod Seema) of ??? not remember. A video! sorry,perhaps image recoring by Window Glass/ Ventilator Glass. 2 years mota (thickness), 15 days mota etc. I raed also. Samay Ke Swami, Paanch Yamdoot, Achumbak Of Dr. Raman, Nakshatron Ka Yuddha, Shukra Graha Par Dhawa, and many more. Wow......... . I read during 1975-78 in high school life. I brought from Hind Pcket Books & Anand Paperbags through VPP.at Rs. 3-4 each.
ReplyDeleteDo you have these books now in good condition??
DeleteI have 3 novels of prof divakar..amanush....nakshtro ka yudh....udantashtari....i want to sell 3000 each thank u
ReplyDelete3000/- each? Are you serious? We all are book lovers here and I am personally interested to buy all of them but this price is really blackmailing. However, I am ready to pay 10 time of the printed price. Let me know.
Deleteyou still got those book ?
DeleteI am happy to pay your asking price .
Dear Tarang, Can u share the PDF Format of AMAANUSH & PANCH YAMDOOT as i want to read those novels.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for his books all over. I read them as a kid. What's shocking is that I saw a book recently called, 'Gods of War' by Ashok Banker which is exactly the same as Panch Yamdoot. Again no credit to Mr. Izhar Asar/ Professor Diwakar
ReplyDeleteDear Friends
ReplyDeleteI think these novels go back to 1975s. I have read them. Actually along with professor Diwakar there was one Mr Raman who also wrote a number of sci fi novels these included "Kaidi Kirane" What somebody above is refrring as VinoSheem (A glass that could store images), another was "Achumbak" a material which would repel instead of attract.(Opposite of magnet). I am sure some will remember these. Most of these books were published by Hind Pocket books Delhi.
There are so many hindi lovers out here, I am sure you will also remember Chandrakanta Santati, Bhootnath, Rohtasmath

I read Paanch Yamdut and Lady Robot. Great science fiction novels. Though I found very few novels of Professor Divakar and Dr. Raman. Novels you mentions are seems great too. Intrested to read but hard to find.
DeleteThanks Tarang for bringing the pro. Diwakar's fan together...I am a big fan of him and read almost every novel of him except Amanush...Akash Ka looters, lady robot, paanch yamdoot, chunouti are my favouraits. Thanks to Mr. A.K. Dutta ji too since he provide the answer of a question which was puzzling me since my childhood that who is the actual person behind this name. Mujhe do chije lagti gain..ek shayad ye videshi books our filmo ki stories Ka indianisation raha hoga jiski wazah se writer Ka real name use nahi kiya gaya..dusre writer ki bad me hind pocket books se bani nahi kyunki pro Diwakar ke kuchh novels bad me mayur pocket books ne bhi chhape the our hind pocket books ne science fictions ko dr. Raman ke nam se chhapna shuru kar diya tha kirno ke chor, achumbak jaisi books dr. Raman ke nam se aayi thi... Jo bhi ho sab books this bahut shandar our sammohak
ReplyDeletewaise Tarang kya tum sure ho ki samay me swamy diwakar ke nam se hi hai ? Kyunki Mujhe aisa yad hai ki ye dr. Raman ke nam se aayi thi...
Nice to meet you all...can we write to hind pocket books to republish all books in a single volume... E books to chhapi hi ja sakti hain...
can we get pdf of professor divakr novel
Delete@ Sandeep Agrawal: Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteYes, some of the books were authored by the name of Dr. Raman, but I think Samay Ke Swami was authored by Professor Diwaakar (As far as I remember).
Publishing industry has changed and I am not sure if they would republish. :)
Sandeep Agarwala do u have these book now with you . And are u interested in selling in 10x print price. Or just sharing if not willing to sell??
ReplyDeleteI use to read book by Dr Raman and Professor diwaker in my childhood (25 years ago) , move abroad but never forget those. Todey going through some NASA video , I google them and came to know that both person are same (These two names of writer Izhar Asar). This time when I going to India I will forsure bring those books with me , I want to read those book to my childerns (5 and 10) , still got full size godrej wardrobe collection of comics, novels etc which I collected over 15 years ....got Raj Comics, Manoj Comics, almost every SC Bedi series, Ibn safi novels , SMP , JHC along with my most loveable Dr Raman and Prof Diwaker . I though sometime to ship whole collection here in Canada but then change mind as here its hard to to maintain them, but definately I will bring ones which are best science fiction novel. Honestly lots of things we read in Internet now has been written by them 50 years ago, unbleivable .
ReplyDeleteI have there few novels. I really liked them. Sci Fi in those days, amazing stuff
ReplyDeleteIts a memorable moment to remember those days when i was in 9th class i got a chance to issue some of the nowels from library: Samay ka swami, Achumbak and shukr grah par dhawa. Now its 25 years the memory of the story is still so ... mesmerizing. just now i came to know Prof. Diwakar and Izhar Asar are same. now i am looking towards books , if at all i can get them.
ReplyDeleteAre bhai logo kisi ko books mili kya ...... Prof. Diwakar sahab ki likhi hui.
ReplyDeletePDF Download ay fir purchase

ReplyDeleteI read only Samay ke Swamy way back in 1980 and loved it. Never knew that he has written other books as well. Would love to read other books, but no idea where to buy.
ReplyDeleteHello, my father once told me about Dr.Raman and his book 'kaidi kirne', I was very curious to read them, but I was not able to find any cule about his book, I searched alot and finally by reading these comments at least we got some informations about his book thank you for sharing these informations with us, if some one have these books, pdf or any information from where we can buy them, then please let us know.
ReplyDeleteBest few novels from my childhood collection. I will bring those 6 novel with me from.over 1000s books collection whwnever I go India.
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I read some of his novels in my childhood and I'm a big fan of him. I searched his novel but found very few. 'लेडी रोबोट' and 'पांच यमदूत' were great novels. Sometimes I wonder why no one talks about that much great science fiction novels?
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting. I have heard of Lady Robot but haven't read.
DeleteInteresting article. Haven't read Professor Diwakar's works but these books that you have mentions do sound interesting. Would love to read them if i could get my hands on them.
