In a time when the world is driven by speed, ambition, and self-interest, author Partha Sarathi Chanda brings readers a much-needed reflection on compassion, empathy, and coexistence through his latest work, Gratefulness in Animals Vs Humans: Learn from Animals the Love, Relation. This thought-provoking book invites us to pause and reconsider our relationship with the animal world — the silent, faithful companions who have shared our lives for centuries yet are so often neglected in modern society.
The book begins with a heartfelt observation from everyday life: as children, we grow up surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, birds — treating them as family. But as people move on in life, chasing careers and cities, many of these animals are left behind, abandoned and forgotten. With rising urbanization and indifference, thousands of animals today struggle for survival on the streets without food, shelter, or care. Through simple yet deeply emotional prose, Chanda raises a question that strikes every heart: If animals can love and care for humans selflessly, why can’t we show the same gratitude toward them?
Gratefulness in Animals Vs Humans is not just a book — it is a call for empathy. The author reminds us that animals are not inferior creatures but living beings with emotions, loyalty, and affection. Their gratitude and unconditional love often surpass human understanding. Dogs waiting endlessly for their owners, birds returning to feed their young, or elephants mourning their dead — all these examples reveal that animals understand love and relation in the purest form. Chanda urges readers to recognize this silent language of love and respond with kindness, compassion, and responsibility.
Written with sincerity and moral depth, the book appeals to readers of all ages. It combines observation, reflection, and a sense of spiritual connection to nature. The author’s tone is both emotional and awakening — making us realize that true humanity is reflected in how we treat those who cannot speak for themselves. Every chapter of this book inspires readers to act — to feed a stray, to adopt a pet, or simply to treat animals with the dignity they deserve.
Partha Sarathi Chanda, the author, brings a wealth of life experience to his writing. A Mechanical Engineer by profession, he has worked for over 45 years in diverse industries and projects both in India and abroad. After retiring in 2010, he settled in Pondicherry before returning to his home state, West Bengal. His deep connection with nature, culture, and tradition continues to shape his worldview. Having begun writing poems at the age of sixteen, he has already published two Bengali poetry collections — Asheema and Anmana — both of which reflect his love for life and his respect for nature’s rhythm.
With Gratefulness in Animals Vs Humans, Partha Sarathi Chanda delivers a gentle yet powerful message — one that reminds us of our moral duty to care for those who depend on us. It is a heartfelt tribute to the silent bond between humans and animals — a bond built on love, loyalty, and gratitude. This book is not just meant to be read; it is meant to change hearts, inspiring readers to make the world a kinder place for all living beings.
