Download or read book For Valour written by Bryan Perrett and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories of outstanding bravery on the battlefield The Victoria Cross, a simple bronze cross inscribed For Valour on the front and engraved with the recipient's name, rank, number, unit and the date of the action on the reverse, was first awarded by Queen Victoria - in a ceremony in Hyde Park - in 1857, to heroes of the Crimea. The VC is the most prized British and Commonwealth decoration for gallantry, and is earned too often at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice. Only 1,354 VCs have been awarded, and this book, in Bryan Perrett's inimitable style, tells the story behind some of the most remarkable, from the Crimea through to the Second World War. Likewise, the Congressional Medal of Honor, the US equivalent decoration, is celebrated here in equal measure in his gripping episodes of outstanding gallantry in battle. The VC and the Medal of Honor have on occasion even been awarded for acts on the same battlefield.
Download or read book Topographies of Fascism written by Nil Santianez and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topographies of Fascism offers the first comprehensive exploration of how Spanish fascist writing – essays, speeches, articles, propaganda materials, poems, novels, and memoirs – represented and created space from the early 1920s until the late 1950s. Nil Santiáñez contends that fascism expressed its views on the state, the nation, and the society in spatial terms (for example, the state as a “building,” the nation as an “organic unity,” and society as the “people’s community”), just as its adherents celebrated fascism in its architecture, public spectacles, and military rituals. While Topographies of Fascism centres on Spain, a nation that produced a large number of fascist texts focused on space, it also draws on works written by key German, Italian, and French fascist politicians and intellectuals. Ultimately, it provides an innovative model for analyzing the comparable yet often overlooked strategies of symbolic representation and production of space in fascist political and cultural discourse.

Download or read book The Majority Report written by Shri Ram Kumar Ohri, IPS (Retd.) and published by Carried Publication. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untold Story of Heart-Rending Discrimination Against Hindus in 'Our India' The Congress led UPA government which came into power in 2004 on the support of Muslims took a number of policy decisions which are patently against non-Muslims. In keeping with the Muslim demands, it set up Sachar Committee, Ranganath Misra Commission, Committee on Muslim Minority Education including a separate Ministry of Minority Affairs. Those conversant with the history of pre-Independence India would recall that the Muslim League was established in 1906 after a memorandum was presented two months earlier to Viceroy Minto. The memorandum had emphasized that Muslims were a minority with a imperial past. The government, while considering concessions to the community, should bear this in mind. The demands inter alia included : separate electorates, reservation in jobs in government departments and a Muslim university. The 1909 Morley-Minto reforms agreed to the demands minus the setting up of a University as the British felt that this would breed separatism. As the process of self government gained momentum, Muslims went on inflating their demands including the creation of new provinces wherein Muslims were in a majority. Bihar, Orissa and Sind were separated accordingly; the NWFP was declared a Governor’s province. When Mahatma Gandhi appeared on the Indian political horizon, he surrendered to the demands in the hope that Muslims would support the Congress in its demand for Independence. They did but insisted that India should be divided on the basis of religion into Hindustan and Pakistan. To reinforce their demand for a separate homeland, the Muslim League declared in March 1940, that Muslims were a Nation and not a Minority. It is on this basis that India was divided. The tragedy of India is that Nehru while directing the framing of India’s Constitution, introduced the word minority again. The Congress led government of UPA has unleashed a full fledged programme for the creation of an Islamic State within the Indian Republic. Messers Ohri and Sharma’s book The Majority Report provides a detailed picture of how the Congress government has relentlessly pursued this objective. This reminds one of the League’s demands made in pre-Independence India. The book, a compact volume of about 200 pages, shows in detail how statistics/data have been manipulated by the Sachar Committee to justify a set of special schemes. According to the author : This book brings out serious irregularities in the composition, functioning and blatant partiality towards Muslims in the Sachar Committee Report headed by a former Chief Justice of a High Court. The authors go on to observe that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made an astounding statement on December 9, 2006, proclaiming that the Muslims will have first claim to India’s resources. Did the Prime Minister forget the fact that there were crores of poor Hindus among the so-called higher castes who also deserved to be helped? What is not realized by the Hindus at large is that all these pro-Muslim programmes have their financial implications. Eventually, it is the Hindus who will bear the cost of running such schemes and programmes. Therefore, the book deserves to be read by all who want to know how Hindus are being discriminated against and exploited by the Congress leadership for vote bank politics. The writers have done a yeoman’s service to the majority community by producing this book. Published by Carried Publication, a unit of Samarth.
