Dear members, i thought it appropriate to share this information with
the group to get an appropriate answer.
there is a person in pt. Roop Chand Joshi's native village pharwala
whose father Shri Durgadas was a close associate of pt ji at the time
of writing these books.
when we met him he mentioned that lalkitab was not singlehandedly
authored by pt ji. there was a group which can be termed as his
partners or assistants but in my thought friends who used to discuss
astrology and as it was a tradition in those days to compose them
into poetic form, which related to writing kavishri which was popular
both as form of entertainment and storing / sharing knowledge about
subjects mainly historical or prevelant.
these people would compose couplets with of course pt ji having a
greater command and say.
compared with them, pt ji had larger resources at hand (financial,
contacts, language etc.) and with the publishing of these books only
pt ji's and girdhari lalji's name remained but others were
(conveniently) forgotten.
i think it is appropriate that the group should share any information
on this subject and make further research in this respect because if
such persons had made some contribution their efforts ought to be
duly recognised.
regards
kulbir
