Download or read book The Battlefield of Kurukshetr written by Ashok Sinha and published by Eloquent Books. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of the Dwapar Yuga (epoch) marked by the Krishna Avatar (Incarnation), some 5,000 years ago, the Mahabharata War has just ended. The great Indian battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, cousins by relation, was driven into a nationwide war because of the selfish and arrogant disposition of Duryodhan, eldest of the Kaurava brothers. Bhisma, the great sire of the two warring parties, is laying in the battlefield, wounded by hundreds of arrows shot by Arjuna, one of the Pandava brothers. The Pandavas have won the war, but Yudhishthir, the eldest Pandava brother, is grieving due to the great human tragedy. He goes to Bhisma (at Kurukshetra, near modern-day New Delhi), seeking solace from the wise Bhishma, his great grand uncle. The Battlefield Kurukshetra book is fundamentally a dialogue between Bhishma and Yudhishthir about the origin and effect of wars, and possible ways to prevent them. It is a verse translation of the Hindi poetic work (Kurukshetra) by the eminent Hindi poet Ramdhari Singh Dinakar, regarded as the national poet of India. While the context is ancient and Indian, the subject is universal and timeless. Readers of any age and cultural background will find a reflection of this theme in their own time and place. The book's message is as relevant in today's world as in India 5,000 years ago. Author Ashok Sinha has written 15 books of poetry, plays, and translations in Hindi and in English for over 50 years. Raised in the state of Bihar in India, he now lives in Ypsilanti, Mich Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TheBattlefield Kurukshetra.html

Book excerpt: This concise biography of the world's most notorious terrorist tells the fascinating story of the evolution of a wealthy businesman's son to the 9/11 mastermind who declared war on America. Osama bin Laden: A Biography offers a concise, fact-based portrait of a man whose rise from obscurity to notoriety coincides with some of the most traumatic events of the 21st century. It follows bin Laden's story from his life in Saudi society in the 1960s and 1970s to his religious conversion, his emergence as a jihadist leader, his horrifying terrorist attacks, and his near-mythic status in parts of the Muslim world today. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Osama bin Laden finds the political and religious roots of a worldview that combines devout faith with a belief in violence and terrorism. The book pays particular attention to the spread of radical Islam from Egypt to Saudi Arabia and beyond, as well as the development of Al Qaeda and its current scope and capabilities.
Download or read book The Kashmir Conundrum written by General N.C. Vij and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kashmir has been considered one of the longest-running and most intractable conflicts of the modern world. How does one make sense of the issue and look to the future? In The Kashmir Conundrum, former Indian Army chief General N.C. Vij – who himself hails from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir – gives the complete picture. Starting with a history of Kashmir and its people, he covers the invasion and accession of the kingdom, the wars India and Pakistan have fought, the Pulwama attack of 2019, India's surgical strike at Balakot, and the various formulae that have been tried to settle the issue, right up to the controversial abrogation of the state's special status. In doing so, he draws on his own experience of dealing with the subject closely – as DGMO during the Kargil war; as vice chief of the army during the Parliament attack of 2001; and then as the chief at a time when Pakistan-sponsored infiltration was at its peak. Informed by a field expert's astute perspective, this is a comprehensive and up-to-date account of Kashmir from an army man who has engaged with it at the highest levels.

Download or read book The Wahhabi Movement in India written by Qeyamuddin Ahmad and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded by Sayyid Ahmad (1786-1831) of Rae Bareli, the Wahhabi Movement in India was a vigorous movement for socio-religious reforms in Indo-Islamic society in the nineteenth century with strong political undercurrents. It stood for a strong affirmation of Tauhid (unity of God), the efficacy of ijtihad (the right of further interpretation of the Quran and the Sunnah, or of forming a new opinion by applying analogy) and the rejection of bid'at (innovation). It remained active for half a century. Sayyid Ahmad's writings show an awareness of the increasing British presence in the country and he regarded British India as a daru'l harb (abode of war). In 1826 he migrated and established an operational base in the independent tribal belt of the North Western Frontier area. After his death in the battle of Balakote, the Movement slackened for some time but his adherents particularly Wilayet Ali and Enayat Ali of Patna revived the work and broad-based its activities. The climax of the Movement was reached in the Ambeyla War (1863) during which the English army suffered serious losses at the hands of the Wahhabis. This led the Government to take stern measures to suppress the Movement. Investigations were launched, the leaders were arrested and sentenced to long-term imprisonments and their properties confiscated. That broke the back of the Movement but it continued to be a potential source of trouble to the government. The Movement does not fit in neatly in any one of the groups and categories into which the history of the early resistance to British rule has been divided by some of the writers on the subject. It cut across some of them time-wise and theme-wise. The existing studies on the subject do not offer a comprehensive profile of the Movement and fail to analyse its nature and the reasons for its failure politically. This well researched study drawing on a vast array of contemporary records, many of them for the first time, seeks to fill this gap and presents an integrated account of the rise and growth of the Movement, its operation over the entire area and period of its existence, its impact and reasons for its failure.

Download or read book Combat Aviation written by Kishore Kumar Khera and published by K W Publishers Pvt Limited. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat aircraft, a powerful component of military strength, define the battle space today. In the last five decades, world combat aircraft inventory, after peaking in 1988, gradually declined owing to changes in the geopolitical landscape, altering character of war, evolving technology and emerging alternatives. Today, there are 106 countries in the world that own and operate around 80 types of approximately 18,000 combat aircraft. But, there are only 19 countries that have more than 200 combat aircraft in their inventories. In this book, the available data of the world's combat aircraft inventory is analysed for the trends and probable reasons for changes in the holdings, before predicting the future trajectory of manned combat aircraft. Additionally, the role of combat aircraft and their interplay with various tenets of Indian air power capability and the likely future is discussed. Combat aircraft, a powerful component of military strength, need a large resource investment in procurement and operations. The world had around 18,000 combat aircraft in 1968 and fifty years later the combat aircraft inventory is again almost at that level today. In five decades, the combat aircraft inventory peaked to near 38,000 in 1988. Changes in the geopolitical landscape, altering character of war, evolving technology and emerging alternatives led to its gradual decline thereafter. Today, there are 106 countries in the world that own and operate around 80 types of approximately 18,000 combat aircraft. But, there are only 19 countries that have more than 200 combat aircraft in their inventories. In this book, the available data of the combat aircraft inventory of the world is analysed for the trends and probable reasons for changes in the holdings before predicting the future trajectory of manned combat aircraft. Additionally, the role of combat aircraft and its interplay with various tenets of Indian air power capability and likely future is discussed.
Download or read book Kashmir written by Khalid Bashir Ahmad and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of Islam in medieval Kashmir gave birth to a narrative that describes forcible mass conversion of Hindus, eviction of local people and wanton demolition of religious symbols. A minority of Kashmiri Brahmans and their progeny who did not convert to Islam built and successfully perpetuated this narrative over the centuries. Following the eruption of armed insurgency in Kashmir and mass migration of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, this community narrative has turned into the Indian mainstream view on Kashmiri Pandits. Kashmir: Exposing the Myth behind the Narrative challenges the existing narrative. It exposes many fallacies used to uphold this narrative and dissects the work of historians that has sustained ahistorical perceptions over a long period of time. By linking history to the present, the book facilitates an understanding of the situation today.
