RETURN OF THE INFIDEL
0₹695.00About The Book
It is not Gandhi but Jinnah who was the Father of modern India. It was Jinnah who, like a pied piper, lured monotheism out of India. His persistent demand for a ‘separate nation’ for Muslims resulted in the migration of millions of Muslims to a new geographical and political reality called Pakistan. Had this not happened, imagine a united Hindustan with 750 million Muslims by 2050, the biggest Islamic country in the world. In that sense Jinnah was the greatest Indian after Gautam Buddha, Chanakya and Adi Shankara.
Author-journalist Virendra Pandit suggests that although Mahatma Gandhi pretended to oppose Partition, deep within he was content that India would be a country living according to its Hindu heritage and ethos. Gandhi plotted the exit of Islam and Christianity—the end of colonialism—so that most part of India remained a home majorly for the Hindus. He egged on Jinnah to demand Pakistan and with its creation India’s medieval era came to an end. Arguments of the author are compelling and though the book appears to be a panacea for those who think that India will survive only if it is a Hindu majority country, there is plenty to chew on for the forces of secularism. Return of the Infidel is the story of how India ejected both Christianity and Islam from the subcontinent. The story of China and Japan, and that of many other nations, is the same. Christianity and Islam viewed these three ancient Asian giants as ‘infidels’—and they are Returning now!

REVISITING THE EDUCATIONAL HERITAGE OF INDIA
0₹695.00About the Book
Long before the first European universities appeared, India already had multi-disciplinary centres of learning that fuelled a knowledge revolution around the world. This book fills a dire need to chronicle the great educational heritage of India. It describes a unique ecosystem which ensured that Gurus and Acharyas handed the lamp of learning to generations of students. As the author puts it, “When swords quenched their thirst and famine ravaged the lands, Indians still held on to their truth that there was nothing more purifying than knowledge.” She has collated information from oral history, local lore, travelogues, surviving literature, inscriptions, salvaged manuscripts and accounts of scholars and laity. Historically, the book covers a vast time span from ancient India’s traditions to the deliberate destruction of its heritage. It also outlines steps that can be taken today to incorporate the most relevant aspects of ancient learning systems into the current structure of school and university education.

SAFFRON AWAKENING, AYODHYA TO ADITYANATH
0₹595.00About the Book
A turnaround in the course of Indian history’ is how the 11 March 2017 UP assembly elections are being described. It is believed, the election of a majority BJP government and of a Hindu mathadhikari as the Chief Minister of India’s most populous State is an expression of resurgence of Hinduism, not just a religious awakening. In 21st century India, this is the third such symbolic public demonstration of saffron ascendancy, says author PrafullGoradia, who was an eye-witness to the first such assertion in recent times, the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992. Until the advent of Narendra Modi, no leader was able to inspire the Hindu confidence for the expression of their true sentiments, he asserts. The book, Saffron Awakening, takes a look at what UP suffered during centuries of Islamic rule and analyses why Uttar Pradesh voted the way it did. Never before has the Hindu expressed himself with such vengeance. It is a time of Saffron Awakening.

SALT LICKS AND OTHER PLAYS
0₹450.00About the Book
The plays in Volume 6 reflect on the continued Western orientation of Indian communities till today. As a character in Salt Licks says: ‘Go West, young man, to rediscover the East. And don’t be in a hurry to get back’. The first play in this publication series refers to a peculiarly Bangalore society of elders fixated in the Raj, calling themselves the Empire Loyalists. If it was ‘Great Britain’ at one time, it was the American Dream later. In the pre-liberalized economy, young people went to extremes to get admission in American colleges and universities. Any university, any course, any location, it was only important to get there first. And yet… there was something so human in their dreams. The collection in this Volume can be called Vijay Padaki’s early plays. The stories are set in the period early ‘seventies to early ‘nineties. The ubiquitous 2-in-1 music system in the plays creates a special place for itself. Two plays in the set need further explanation. Gold and Silver was written at the time of an exchange project with the Royal National Theatre celebrating India’s Golden Anniversary of Independence. Evening Shadows is an original English language adaptation of Sandhya Chhaya by the Marathi playwright Jaywant Dalvi. The loneliness of an elderly couple is compounded by the son not returning from America.

SANATANA DHARMA THE PATHWAY TO A HAPPY LIFE
0₹599.00About the Book
With the changing times, we seem to be too engrossed in our silos of individual growth and achievements and tend to ignore or even ridicule tradition. To be Western is the trend, without realising that the philosophical tradition of the West is trying to discover the beauty of Sanatan Dharma—an all-inclusive way of life. From Adi to Anant, Sanatan Dharm is the constant evolution and revelations of human possibilities. It keeps transforming with time to suit the need for existence. It is not rigid. But the moral order underlying existence never changes. When duty becomes a part of consciousness and gets the backing of impeccable philosophy of existence, life becomes much easier. Sanatan Dharm does just that. As we step into this new world, Sanatan Dharm will find increasing resonance with those who wish to understand religion and its purpose in life. This is because Sanatan Dharm is not prescriptive and gives individuals the liberty to be seekers and find their own enlightenment. It rather guides people to attain higher levels of spiritual discovery.

SARDAR PATEL
0₹795.00About The Book
Vallabhbhai Patel (1875-1950) left his mark not only on the map of India but also on the minds of her people. He is said to have bequeathed the idea of an integrated India to the nation, and is often called the ‘Iron Man’, with an uncanny foresight and a clear vision of where independent India’s future lay. He was no superman, he was a statesman gifted with the rare quality of astuteness and pertinacity in his approach to problems. He was more than Bismarck in many ways. His decisive approach to the merger of the 565 princely States into the Union of India is a hair-raising story of grit, gumption and guts. It is the story of how a man, believed to be ‘the accurate bowman of Gandhi’s struggle…who knew no retreat’ wooed, cajoled and coerced Princes’ India into becoming a People’s India. Patel was convinced, ‘small States cannot subsist as independent entities without endangering Indian unity’ and this book tells the bold and brazen story of how State by State, from Junagadh to Patna, Travancore to J&K, that is, two-thirds of the land mass was shepherded under Mother India’s wings, by one man’s steadfast commitment to the larger cause, ‘no further division’ of the subcontinent. India is today suffering the consequences of ignoring Patel’s advise on Kashmir and China. Though it covers just five years of Sardar Patel’s life and times, this is a work of historicity that every Indian must read to understand how India came to be the India that Google today shows us.

SATISAR, THE VALLEY OF DEMONS
0₹350.00About the Book
Kashmir, ancient abode of knowledge and scholarship has a five thousand year old history. This charming landscape has unfortunately been distorted by continuing violence. The book is set in the turbulent nineties of the last century when the situation erupted for the first time. A plethora of characters drawn from its long history weave tapestry of events, the warriors of yesteryears don the robes of renunciation and hermits of bygone days are seen on the battlefield. The intended chaos represents the ground situation to a great extent. A political satire cloaked in fiction, the book dissects the inertia and indifference to human misery and tragedy.
The characters emerge from across eons and cultures. The fundamental legends get reinterpreted to make sense to modern sensibility. The narrative is racy and presents a good measure of fantasy in the form of fairies, demons, magical concoctions, charms etc. The stories of powerful men and women are interwoven with lives of ordinary folk to finally converge at a point and usher in a new dawn of hope and tranquility for the beautiful valley.
