Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Antim Sanskar-The Final Rites of a Terrorist State" is a geopolitical thriller, a work of fiction based on the current India-Pakistan toxic relationship.India has long been at the receiving end of Pakistan's "non-state actors" and their jihadi philosophy. This is not the India of 1947. This is a new India, one that will not keep quiet. It is time to take the war back to Pakistan.The response of the Indian state is based on the principles of Hindu Dharma, a calibrated response to avoid collateral damage, to avoid a protracted war, a response meticulously planned and extra-ordinary risks taken by a chosen few, to protect the rest.The book takes the reader on a journey through Baramulla, Srinagar, Delhi and across Pakistan.The story is a short, mainstream thriller, written in an easy-going, semi-formal style, an equal mix of story-telling and verifiable facts.

Download or read book The Sikhs written by Patwant Singh and published by Image. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five hundred years ago, Guru Nanak founded the Sikh faith in India. The Sikhs defied the caste system; rejected the authority of Hindu priests; forbade magic and idolatry; and promoted the equality of men and women -- beliefs that incurred the wrath of both Hindus and Muslims. In the centuries that followed, three of Nanak's nine successors met violent ends, and his people continued to battle hostile regimes. The conflict has raged into our own time: in 1984 the Golden Temple of Amritsar -- the holy shrine of the Sikhs--was destroyed by the Indian Army. In retaliation, Sikh bodyguards assassinated Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Now, Patwant Singh gives us the compelling story of the Sikhs -- their origins, traditions and beliefs, and more recent history. He shows how a movement based on tenets of compassion and humaneness transformed itself, of necessity, into a community that values bravery and military prowess as well as spirituality. We learn how Gobind Singh, the tenth and last Guru, welded the Sikhs into a brotherhood, with each man bearing the surname Singh, or "Lion," and abiding by a distinctive code of dress and conduct. He tells of Banda the Brave's daring conquests, which sowed the seeds of a Sikh state, and how the enlightened ruler Ranjit Singh fulfilled this promise by founding a Sikh empire. The author examines how, through the centuries, the Sikh soldier became an exemplar of discipline and courage and explains how Sikhs -- now numbering nearly 20 million worldwide -- have come to be known for their commitment to education, their business acumen, and their enterprising spirit. Finally, Singh concludes that it would be a grave error to alienate an energetic and vital community like the Sikhs if modern India is to realize its full potential. He urges India's leaders to learn from the past and to "honour the social contract with Indians of every background and persuasion."

Eleven years later, we still do not know who was behind the attack, nor the identity of the attackers. Both the Delhi high court and the Supreme Court of India have noted that the police violated legal safeguards, fabricated evidence and extracted false confessions. Yet, on 9 February 2013, one man, Mohammad Afzal Guru, was hanged to ‘satisfy’ the ‘collective conscience’ of society. This updated reader brings together essays by lawyers, academics, journalists and writers who have looked closely at the available facts and who have raised serious questions about the investigations and the trial. This new version examines the implications of Mohammad Afzal Guru’s hanging and what it says about the Indian government’s relationship with Kashmir.

But while he stressed about getting work done and returning to civilization, something magical and unexpected got in the way: Everything.

Tales of his family and school years reflect the circumstances of the times and reveal an ambitious student committed to his loved ones and possessing valuable physical and intellectual aptitudes. The memoir chronicles Mr. Khan's medical school studies and preparations for establishing his practice. His experiences in various cities and hospital settings shine a light on the cultures he lived in as an adult-from Saudi Arabia to England to the UAE. Accompanied by stories of an adventurous youth, a romantic liaison, and an arranged marriage, this autobiography will educate and entertain readers. In Mr. Khan's own words, The Looking Glass Voyage gives a first-hand glimpse into times past and the significant happenings of that era: "I was witness to great events in the history of the world in real-time: the dismemberment of my country of birth, and the formation of Bangladesh, in 1971; experiencing Iran in the heady days, at the peak years of the Shah of Iran ..." This "witness" is engaging and welcoming to readers of all ages and backgrounds as he makes history, his story."
