Download or read book Legacies of the Homeland written by Paramjeet Singh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-04-07 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not intended to provide a list of the 100 ‘best’ books ever written and published by Punjabi authors. Given the sheer range of books written by Punjabi authors and the unpredictability of individual taste, any such definitive list is quite impossible. Secondly, the choice has been restricted to books that were written by them either in Punjabi, Hindi or Urdu but have been translated into English. Thus, personal choice restricted by availability has dictated this selection. The choice of books includes autobiographies, novels, short stories, poems, and plays. Research books, religious books, and books written originally in English have not been included. From the Introduction I am amazed at the scholarship, the passion and the love with which Paramjeet Singh has written this book. It will be a reference volume for all times. Nirupama Dutt Poet, Journalist & Translator Mr. Singh’s effort is commendable as he is making available some of the rarest of gems of Punjabi literature to the non-Punjabi readers. I congratulate Mr. Singh on putting together this selection and hope that non-Punjabi readers of this book would find new horizons of cultural experience opening up before them. Of course, for Punjabi readers, it may be yet another opportunity to experience a sense of genuine pride in their rich legacy of language, literature and culture. . Prof. Rana Nayar

Download or read book The Prisoner written by Fakhar Zaman and published by Peter Owen Limited. This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unarmed prisoner - known to gaolers and inmates alike as 'Z' - languishes in a tiny cell for an unspecified crime. His days are measured out in lashes, as he is repeatedly ordered to confess his crime, or face the highest penalty.... 'Z's mistake is to have spoken out against the prevailing military government in Pakistan, and his eloquent poetry is the best defence for the prosecution. Gradually, however, 'Z' assumes the status of a hero in a drama in which the roles are subtly reversed: the accused becomes the accuser, the cruel and oppressive regime, the criminal. This powerful political novel is a searing indictment of human rights violations, written by a journalist with first-hand experience of the atrocities it describes.

During the time of Alexander's invasion of India, Chanakya was a teacher in Takshashila, a very famous world class university of those days. Aristotle, the Greek thinker-philosopher molded and groomed Alexander, the Prince of Macedonia similarly Chanakya, a guru, a master of art of living par excellence taught, molded, groomed Chandragupta Maurya, a common boy and installed him as Emperor of India. Chanakya is the epitome of timeless Hindu wisdom. This piece of speech of Chanakya that you will find in this book in the very beginning is nowhere documented in any history book. The writer has written this speech imagining that 2500 years back in Takshashila university in India Chanakya could be possibly teaching something of this nature to his students. An e-book titled 'Chanakya' - 'The Epitome of Timeless Hindu Wisdom' written by this author is also available here on Amazon which would be very helpful to know more about the life of Chanakya. Alexander, in order to conquer the world invaded Persia, fought brutal battles against the vast army of a giant empire like Persia, defeated it by his small army and captured entire Persia. His conquest continued further from Persia till the border regions of India. So to give a depth to the structure of the life story of this brilliant, brave Greek warrior his story begins with the piece of speech by Chanakya, the Indian Guru. The reader this way gets connected with the Indian, Persian and Greek culture and history which makes the story more interesting. It broadens the cultural overview of the reader.Accordingly an account of the Greek life and culture that you will find in this book is very intriguing. All about the early life of the Prince of Macedonia, Alexander - his primary education and training by the best teachers of Macedonia, then the time he spent with Aristotle at Stagira who groomed him to be a Man with a difference, an able leader, and a King. Then about the tough challenges he faced at a very young age, his struggles, fights, battles, conflicts and his victories and then after all how he emerged as an unchallenged King of entire Greece. The account of Alexander's meeting with Diogenes, a Greek mystic is very educative. The Greek warrior's inspiring skill of management of manpower, his self-esteem and his confidence when he set off for his conquest of Persia.Some mind enriching facts that we come across and learn from the life story of this Greek conqueror is: To advance with incredible high speed and then turn all the calculations of the enemy wrong and futile. King Phillip fulfilled his ambitions of winning the battles and expanding his kingdom by implementing this innovative ides. Alexander too subdued all the city-states of his native land with the help of the same strategy and then conquered entire Greece. So valuable is this idea that even in present times speed happens to be a very crucial component of the strategy of fighting a decisive war. The more speedier jet planes, missiles and firepower you have the stronger you are. To attack with a speed that the enemy would never have expected and then turn all his preparations insufficient. High achievers and victorious people are a result of such innovative ideas generated in their fertile brains.Phalanx was another such innovation of the Greeks. The battle formation of the Greek militia of the front rows with long Phalanx in their arms when they launched an severe attack on the enemy at the opposite end literally made the enemy incapable of any resistance.As against the speed and the Phalanx of the Greeks the Indians had their bow and the arrow. The bow used to be of the height of a human. The bow was upholstered with cow skin for a firm grip. There are plenty of many such interesting things in this book which will help you connect with the roots and enlighten you. Wish you a happy fruitful reading.

Download or read book Hindi Nationalism tracks for the Times written by Alok Rai and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2001 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tract looks at the politics of language in India through a study of the history of one language Hindi. It traces the tragic metamorphosis of this language over the last century, from a creative, dynamic, popular language to a dead, Sanskritised, dePersianised language manufactured by a self-serving upper caste North Indian elite, nurturing hegemonic ambitions. From being a symbol of collective imagination it became a signifier of narrow sectarianism and regional chauvinism. The tract shows how this trans- formation of the language was tied up with the politics of communalism and regionalism.
