'The Structure of Inventive Thought' (Udvaboni Chintar Kathamo) by S. M. Zakir Hussain: A Brief Review



I've finished reading 'The Structure of Inventive Thought' (Udvaboni Chintar Kathamo) by S. M. Zakir Hussain for the second time after a three years break!

Its subtitle is 'how we understand the external world'.
This book with a preface by Dr. Shahidullah Mridha is a rare inclusion in the world of Bangla books. We need to have such books in large number. In every year the 'Ekhushe Boi Mela' is flooded with the books of poetry, novel and political murmuring. Bangladesh should create more philosophical, scientific and mathematical texts as well.
Mr. S. M. Zakir Hussain is famous here in Bangladesh for his books on English language and grammar especially 'A Preface to English Language'. And he is related to Future Group as well which deals English language business which is really a profitable business here!
But which is unknown to many and which is the real essence of this man is his thought provocative books.
'The Structure of Inventive Thought' (Udvaboni Chintar Kathamo) by S. M. Zakir Hussain is one of the complex bangla books come into my way. But it is an adventurous journey in the puzzling alley of complex but necessary thoughts!
This 180 pages long book was first published in 1999 and 2nd edition that is in my hand was published in 2004.
This book, quite surprisingly dedicated to the BUET students who, in the writers' opinion are his attentive/regular reader.
In this book we can get to know the structure of innovative thoughts and how we can proceed to our inventions, creations of original sorts.
Whenever I come to the title of the book 'The Structure of Innovative Thought' a question poke me again and again why it is not 'The Structure of Creative Thought'!
What is the difference come into our mind when we talk 'creative, innovative or even inventive!'
Whatever the writer has the valid rights to use words in his own way.
I just want to thank S. M. Zakir Hussain for writing such a thought provoking and highly philosophic book!
