Answers
Professor Gangadarpant Gaitonde is a character in the lesson "The Adventure" by Jayant Narlikar. The lesson is based on Catastrophe Theory.
Professor Gaitonde is a history professor and is on his way to give a lecture. Due to a car crash, he lands in a parallel world, different from his real world.
His plan of action in Bombay was
- Reach Bombay.
- Go to the library and browse history books to prepare notes for his lecture
- Meet his friend Rajendra Deshpande.
The reality is he was visiting in Bombay in coma. He met with an accident and went into a coma; during the time he was in coma, his consciousness experienced an experience of British India in which he saw a different Bombay. He also found history to be changed in which India had never ever become slave to the British. He also found that Marathas had defeated the troops of Abdali at Panipat.
The visit to Bombay was Professor Gaitonde’s adventure into different time and space through the door of his altered consciousness. There could have been many reasons behind his visit to Bombay. The first reason could have been meeting with his son Mr. Vinay Gaitonde; the second reason could have been going to the Bombay library to clear certain doubts about historical event of Battle of Panipat.
