This book was released on 2020-05-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1943, Rama Mehta, a 17 year-old girl living in Rangoon, Burma, joined the Rani of Jhansi Regiment, history's first all-women military unit. This regiment, part of the Indian National Army (INA), was organized by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose as part of his campaign to free India from British rule with the aid of the Japanese Army. In Jai Hind, Rama Khandwala nee Mehta tells what it was like to undertake military training with the Ranis, rise to the rank of second lieutenant, and then work on the front lines as a nurse during some of the toughest fighting of World War II. For a young girl who had never before left her family home, the experience of treating badly wounded soldiers, some with missing limbs, proved harrowing. British bombers once made a direct hit on her unit's camp in northern Burma, just missing Lt. Rama Mehta and her fellow Ranis. After the war, because of her service in the INA, the British placed her under house arrest in Rangoon for six months. In December 1946, she and her family left most of their belongings behind and fled to India, which achieved its independence on August 15, 1947. Jai Hind offers a unique and very personal look into this nearly forgotten episode in Indian history. To provide historical context, the author also relates the story of Netaji Subhas Chanda Bose himself. Bose reportedly died in a plane crash in August 1945 but his leadership of the INA during the war helped influence the British decision to abandon India.

We meet Netaji’s key political contemporaries – from Nehru and Gandhi to Tojo and Hitler. And we learn in gripping detail about the Azad Hind Fauj’s spirit of unity and the bravery in war of its men – as well as the women who fought as the Rani of Jhansi Regiment.

Download or read book Calcutta written by Geoffrey Moorhouse and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-04-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the foreword to the first edition Geoffrey Moorhouse wrote:'In a sense, the story of Calcutta is the story of India . . . It is the story of how and why Empire was created and what happened when Empire finished . . . The imperial residue of Calcutta, a generation after Empire ended, is both a monstrous and a marvellous city. Journalism and television have given us a rough idea of the monstrosities but none at all of the marvels. I can only hope to define the first more clearly and to persuade anyone interested that the second is to be found there too'. Geoffrey Moorhouse succeeds triumphantly in his aims. First published in 1971 this title has stood the test of time. Remarkably it was the first full-length study of Calcutta, seat of the British Raj, since 1918.'The book is organized out of a profound understanding of the true issues and is brilliantly executed.' Paul Scott, Guardian

Book excerpt: I remember when I was on an opinion survey in 1945, it was often argued in favor of the cause that as long as there was a neutral government, minorities had little to worry about; but in a Hindu-dominated democratic India, they saw a future fraught with uncertainty and insecurity. It was countered very ably by a girl whom I still remembershy, short statured with a shock of curly hair and reading glasses as thick as the vertexes of glass paper weights sliced to fit in the metallic frame. She had said, We would then be a formidable minoritya deciding factorin the most populous democracy of the world, and historically speaking, determined minorities have changed destinies of nations. We were speechless. The argument against the sectarian violence, however, occurring on daily basis since campaign for the separate homeland had started, was hard to brush aside. But now as we look back, werent Pakistanis more ruthless in suppressing their compatriots and brothers in faith East Pakistanis when they talked of a separate homeland for themselves? Here the backlash was formal, and the army was charged to quell the uprising. One four-star general was heard bragging at the departure lounge of Karachi Airport before flying to Dacca to subjugate the upheavalNext Bengali generation would speak Punjabi! To Indians, Muslims demand for a separate homeland was also la guerre de secession.
