Download or read book The Hunt for Maan Singh written by Hipólito Acosta and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undercover and on the trail of the most wily and dangerous target of their careers, U.S. Special Agents Hipólito “Poli” Acosta and A. J. Irwin chronicle the gripping true story of the U.S. government's covert operation to capture the man behind the largest human smuggling operation in history. And contrary to news reports, the immigrants pouring in are not Mexicans or Central Americans—they’re South Asians. The agents risk their lives in pursuit of Maan Singh, confronting thugs, corrupt officials and hitmen during this perilous chase that plays out across the globe from Quito, Ecuador—Singh’s headquarters—to Guatemala, Panama, England, the Bahamas and the United States. As Acosta and Irwin find out, the tentacles of Singh’s smuggling enterprise extend to places fiercely protected by paid-off police, politicians and diplomats, and Singh always seems to be one warm cup of coffee ahead of his pursuers. The Hunt for Maan Singh pulls back the curtain on Singh's organized worldwide smuggling syndicate while candidly revealing the double exposure of undercover government agents, where inter-departmental rivalries and corrupt officials put Acosta and Irwin in just as much danger as pursuing the criminal mastermind they are sworn to bring to justice. “Informative and entertaining. The complex web of international politics and intrigue may be of interest to those with a penchant for stories about the shadowy underworld of human trafficking.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Fabulous Machinery for the Curious written by Musharraf Farooqi and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the present volume offers six translations from the qissa genre, it is useful to understand the nature of the qissa genre; or rather, qissa's non-genre nature. In Urdu, the word qissa is used for both short and long narrative literature. It encompasses works in both prose and verse. When looking at narratives that belong to qissa literature, one is struck by their diversity. These narratives include everything from folk literature, to historical narratives, to adventure tales, picaresque narratives, comic and tragic stories, accounts of pilgrimage, and religious texts. Their structure varies from frame and interior stories, to linear narratives, to collections of disparate tales, joined loosely together. Each such narrative enriches the possibilities of the qissa, while at the same time making it more difficult to describe the genre neatly. Stories must have played a paramount social role in a society for it to create such a profusion of narratives meant for narration and retelling. Did the qissa literature grow from an impulse to give a story-like structure to every narrative? This diversity of texts published as qissas certainly suggests that. This extraordinary engagement with stories at a social level becomes clearer when we take a closer look at the qissas and realize that a number of them have a function beyond idle entertainment. To their audience, they offered everything, from social guidance, physical well-being, and moral training. The qissas were meant to be life's finishing school. The riches of this literature can be sampled in the six qissas presented here in their first English language translation"--
Download or read book The Bold Brave and Fearless written by Tejwant Singh and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prologue The two pairs of soldiers, walking on the pavement, came face to face about fifty yards away from each other. The Indian soldiers were from a local Infantry Battalion of the Sikh Regiment. The British Soldiers were from the CMP (short for Corps of Military Police), commonly called the MPs. The Indians looked at each other and realized that the situation was of one pair being on the right-side or the wrong-side of the road. They made up their minds individually. Said the first one to his friend,"The bloody Goras (the Whiteman is called a Gora) are on the wrong-side! Why should we get down to the road from the pavement?" His friend replied with emphasis,"That's right. Why should we?" After a pause,he added with more conviction, "We shall see today! The Firangies (foreigners) don't enforce the same rule with British troops." "Let's see them today. We can bear the consequences later," said the first one with emphasis. Both the Indians braced up. Raising their heads they walked as though fully prepared for the confrontation which was by then just thirty yards away and approaching fast. The MPs also raised their chins. Without looking at each other,they exchanged words. Said the taller one to his slim friend," Those damn Indians are right in our way. I think we ought to give them a good dressing-down if they don't get down from the pavement." "Bloody right, mate. They should not have been here in the first place," said the slim one while transferring his right-hand to the grip of his cane and removing it from under his left armpit. Instinctively, his left-hand went to his right pocket and unbuttoned the flap so that he could pull out the whistle quickly. That was like a routine drill movement for any MP when he realized the need to blow the whistle-mainly as a warning to a defaulter and also to alert others of his profession. By then both the pairs were about ten yards apart. The Indians showed no sign of relenting and the MPs thought they had a duty to perform. Seeing the cane being transferred to the right-hand, the second Indian muttered to his friend,"He may hit one of us. That is my gut feeling." "If he dares! This puny fellow had it, today. I'll cut him to pieces,"said the first one in the same low tone muttered through his clenched teeth.Punjabi language can be very forceful when it comes to emphasising a point, as was the Pushtu language of the local Pathans tribals, since they were neighbors. As the distance between the pairs became less, their speed of paces slowed down. The Indians had made up their mind to confront the MPs. Since a Sikh never starts a fight, they were waiting for action from the Goras.The two MPs were slightly taken aback at the audacity of the Sikh soldiers. By then they were just a yard apart. The pavement at that point was slightly wide. Both the Sikhs tried to stay on the pavement and made way for the Policemen by edging closer to the hedge. The first one was on the right of second one and thus closer to the British. The MPs reluctantly edged towards the road while definitely staying on the pavement. The aim was to stay on the pavement. The slim one was on the right of the tall one and thus closer to the first Indian. As he came next to them, his face turned red with disdain seeing the damn Indians conveniently edging towards the hedge thus taking up a slightly higher and superior position, rather than give way to the British masters by stepping down on to the low road. That was a challenge to the self respect of

Download or read book The Greased Cartridge The Heroes and Villains of 1857 58 written by E. Jaiwant Paul and published by Roli Books Private Limited. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most accounts of the revolt, the greased cartridge has been referred to as the spark and tinder that lit the flames of rebellion. The greased cartridge - what was it all about? The army so far had been quipped with the smooth-barrelled musket, which had a protracted loading procedure and was not accurate over long ranges. The new Enfield rifles, which were now being issued, had grooved or rifled barrels. This made them more accurate and gave them a longer range. The powder and bullet for the new rifle were put together in a paper cartridge. To load the rifle, the end of the cartridge containing the powder had to be bitten off so that the charge would ignite. The cartridge was then rammed down the muzzle of the rifle.. The grease used was tallow, probably containing both cow and pig fat. To "the cow reverencing Hindu and the pig paranoid Muslims" having to bite this was repellent, defiling and deadly to their religious prospects. The Revolt of 1857-58 was the biggest and bloodiest conflict against any European colonial power during the nineteenth century. This book is essentially about the heroes - Tatya Tope, Nana Saheb, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Kunwar Singh of Jagdishpur - and not to forget, a few villains. Though the revolt failed in its objective, even in failure it served a grand purpose. It was a source of inspiration for the national liberation movement, which later achieved what the revolt could not.

Download or read book Whispers from the Rooftops written by Dalbir Kaur Khaira and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Description The book is a varied collection of eighteen stories all very different. The connecting feature for them is that they are all about Panjabis'. Sometimes the backdrop for them is the Panjab, the land of the five rivers, and at other times it is England where the Punjabis made their second home. The stories feature secret love and betrayal. There is murder and retribution. Old age, loneliness, substance abuse, mental illness and the everyday struggle for survival all feature in the stories. Running alongside all this is humour, happiness and hope. One of the stories contains an emotional plea from a sister to a brother using the only means at her disposal to let him know her true feelings. The human capacity to show tolerance and compassion never ceases to surprise. There are stories where funny quirks in childhood develop into serious mental illness. Some of the tales have unexpected twists at the end, others leave you with many questions and baffling mysteries unsolved. Some illustrate how hard it is to accept tragedy as part of your destiny and demonstrate strong desire to manipulate the future. There are characters that display a quiet dignity in the face of intense provocation. Others have short fuses that lead to unexpected explosions. All the stories are of human interest and some have a historical significance. Most of all they are a window into a world far away and fast disappearing. The Panjabi culture is in transition and although change is inevitable it is accelerated by the infusion of the second culture. The travellers who straddle both become victims of circumstance something they never envisaged when they started their journeys.
