I added in the subtitle a few minutes ago. Except it's part of the title. Or is it?

If the subtitle were bonded with the title it would come to: "Ek Mahaan Chunauti — Manushya Ka Swarnim Bhavishya (एक महान चुनौती — मनुष्य का स्वर्णिम भविष्य)", which seems rather long and inelegant to me. (Not that there aren't such titles among Osho's books.)

Indications of how it should be, compared to the English original, are:

1. The "मनुष्य का स्वर्णिम भविष्य" is more muted in its appearance on the cover than "The Golden Future" is on its cover.
2. But it should follow the English original's format.
3. Shailendra's scans of the book are all called just "Ek Mahaan Chunauti".
4. But in his Source Doc, he mentions it with "full title".
5: A translation which is otherwise appearing to be faithful to the original -- which this one certainly is -- should follow the original in this respect too.
6. Where's the "other" subtitle? ("A Manifesto")? FWIW, that's also not on the cover of the English one.

So if someone wants to change it, that's fine with me. This is as far as i got tonight. -- doofus-9 07:39, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
