Download or read book Veer Savarkar written by Dhananjay Keer and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SWATANTRYAVEER SAVARKAR needs no introduction to the Indian public, neither does his biography. Long ago, Asaf Ali described Savarkar as the spirit of Shivaji and the late Srinivas Sastri said of him that"" he was a great and fearless patriot and volumes could be written about his yeoman services in the cause of Indian Freedom"". This is, however, too small a volume to describe that spirit and those services adequately. Savarkar's life has already appeared in almost all Indian languages, and in his twenties it has appeared in almost all European languages. But excepting the great Marathi bio-graphy by S. L. Karandikar, who wrote it about seven years ago, no book has dealt exhaustively with the various facets of his life. Hence this is a humble attempt to give in detail the my riad sides of Savarkar's life in its proper historic perspective. This book provides a fuller survey of Savarkar's revolutionary, literary, political and social activities and movements. It also deals with his personal life, and covers his life upto the present moment. I have made a faithful attempt to present a true and correct picture of the various events and incidents that occurred in the life of Savarkar, and also the trends of thoughts and opinions entertained in those times. Most of them do not necessarily reflect my personal views. But they are narrated to record matters of mere history. To quote Sir Edmund Gosse, I have attempted ' to give a faithful portrait of a soul in its adventures through life'. Savarkar's life is romantic, epic and volcanic and so it is full of flashes and flames. Bharat has just shed her revolutionary shell, and entered an evolutionary phase. And a revolutionary realist as he is, Savarkar now in Free India naturally insists on the adoption of peaceful, constitutional and democratic means by the people for attaining their objectives. This was only a logical corollary to Savarkar's ideal as proclaimed in his historic work on ' 1857 '. My earnest appeal, therefore, to all lovers of Indian Freedom and true democracy is that they should go through this book

Download or read book Babasaheb written by Savita Ambedkar and published by Penguin Random House India Private Limited. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into a middle-class, Sarasvat Brahmin family, Dr Sharada Kabir met and got to know Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar as a patient riddled with life-threatening diseases, and eventually married him on 15 April 1948, getting rechristened as Savita Ambedkar. From the day of their wedding to the death of Dr Ambedkar on 6 December 1956, she aided him in some of his greatest achievements-drafting the Constitution of India, framing the Hindu Code Bill, writing some of his most celebrated books, including The Buddha and His Dhamma, and leading millions of Dalits into Buddhism. Following his death, she was hounded into obscurity by some of Dr Ambedkar's followers, who saw her as a threat to their political ambitions. She re-emerged into public life in 1970 and got back to working on the mission to which her husband had devoted his life-the welfare of the Dalit community. Her autobiography, Dr Ambedkaraanchya Sahavaasaat, was first published in Marathi in 1990. This English translation by Nadeem Khan unearths a much valuable and forgotten account, an intimate portrait of one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century. A tenacious fighter, an outstanding scholar and an iconic leader, Dr B.R. Ambedkar was all that and more. Savita Ambedkar brings alive a different side of her husband: a man who wrote romantic letters, dictated what she should wear, whipped up delicious mutton curry, played the violin, and even tried his hand at sculpting. This is a book that humanizes Ambedkar as no other book has done yet.

This book was released on 2024-05-10 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Childhood of Ambedkar offer an intimate look into the formative years of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, one of modern India’s most influential figures and the chief architect of its Constitution. Born into the oppressed Mahar caste, Ambedkar faced discrimination and prejudice from a very young age, shaping his lifelong struggle against the injustices of the caste system. This book chronicles Ambedkar’s early life, from his birth in a small village to his pursuit of education despite overwhelming societal barriers. Readers will gain profoun insights into the challenges he faced, the resilience he demonstrated, and the seeds of his future activism that took root during his childhood. Drawing from Ambedkar’s own writings and first-hand accounts, the narrative brings to life the harsh realities of untouchability, the kindling of his thirst for knowledge and the support of allies like the progressive Maharaja Sayajirao III of Baroda. Readers will not only understand the man behind the Constitution but also gain a deeper appreciation for the on-going battle against prejudice and injustice in India and beyond.
Download or read book B R Ambedkar written by Shashi Tharoor and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A household name throughout India, B. R. Ambedkar is one of the country’s most important figures, second only to Mahatma Gandhi. He played a major role in drafting the constitution for a newly independent India and led the fight against caste-based discrimination. Ambedkar was born into a Dalit caste (the so-called ‘untouchables’), but his academic brilliance saw him study at Columbia University and London School of Economics. As a politician, he fought to overturn centuries of discrimination and promoted liberal constitutionalism in a traditionally illiberal society. He did more than anyone to articulate a cogent and enduring case for the principles of democracy in a country emerging from imperial rule. This book is also a reminder of how far the practice of politics has strayed from the high standards Ambedkar set – of intellectual distinction, policy positions animated by serious scholarship, the infusion of moral values and the upholding of democracy for the many, not just the privileged few.

(दिवंगत) बालसाहित्यकार सरिता पदकी यांनी त्यांच्या संग्रहातून ती पानं उपलब्ध करून दिली. त्यानंतर ती वेबसाइटवर उपलब्ध करण्यात आली. एक ऑगस्ट २०१५ रोजी रत्नागिरीच्या सत्त्वश्री प्रकाशनातर्फे (कोकण मीडिया) ‘झोंपाळ्यावरची गीता’ पुस्तकरूपानं प्रकाशित करण्यात आली. आता रत्नागिरीतील ज्येष्ठ पत्रकार राजेंद्रप्रसाद स. मसुरकर यांनी केलेला या झोंपाळ्यावरच्या गीतेचा इंग्रजी अनुवाद प्रसिद्ध करत आहोत. (३ डिसेंबर २०२२ - गीता जयंती) अनंततनय यांनी केलेली झोपाळ्यावरच्या गीतेची रचना वैशिष्ट्यपूर्ण आहे. तिला गेयता तर आहेच; पण भाषा सोपी असली, तर कमी शब्दांत बराच अर्थ सांगणारी आहे. विनोबांची गीताई हा श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतेचा समश्लोकी अनुवाद आहे. झोंपाळ्यावरची गीता मात्र समश्लोकी नाही. त्यातल्या अध्यायांची श्लोकसंख्या मूळ संस्कृत श्लोकांपेक्षा काही ठिकाणी कमी, तर काही ठिकाणी जास्त आहे. गीतेत ७००, तर झोंपाळ्यावरच्या गीतेत ५४६ श्लोक आहेत. मराठी भाषेचं सौंदर्य वेगळ्या पद्धतीनं यातून प्रतीत झालं आहे. ......

Download or read book Gandhi s Assassin written by Dhirendra Jha and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Nathuram Godse, the man who shot Gandhi Dhirendra Jha's deeply researched history places Nathuram Godse's life as the juncture of the dangerous fault lines in contemporary India: the quest for independence and the rise of Hindu nationalism. On a wintry Delhi evening on 30 January 1948, Nathuram Godse shot Gandhi at point-blank range, forever silencing the man who had delivered independence to his nation. Godse’s journey to this moment of international notoriety from small towns in western India is, by turns, both riveting and wrenching. Drawing from previously unpublished archival material, Jha challenges the standard account of Gandhi’s assassination, and offers a stunning view on the making of independent India. Born to Brahmin parents, Godse started off as a child mystic. However, success eluded him. The caste system placed him at the top of society but the turbulent times meant that he soon became a disaffected youth, desperately seeking a position in the infant nation. In such confusing times, Godse was one of hundreds, and later thousands, of young Indian men to be steered into the sheltering fold of early Hindutva, Indian nationalism. His association with early formations of the RSS and far-right thinkers such as Sarvakar proves that he was not working alone. Today he is considered to be a patriotic hero by many for his act of bravery, despite being found guilty in court and executed in 1949.
Download or read book Renaissance State written by Girish Kuber and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maharashtra. Among the country's largest, wealthiest, most significant constituents. A great state in name and in deed that has been the cradle of individuals and events that have shaped India. Girish Kuber - seasoned journalist and one of Maharashtra's foremost opinion makers - tells its story in Renaissance State. Taking in his vast sweep the region's politics, society and history from the time of the Satavahanas down to the present day, he chronicles a number of lesser-known tales: the empire that brought the mighty Mughals to their knees, the woman who took the issue of consent in marital sex right up to Queen Victoria, the social reformers who were far ahead of their time, the evolution of movements of the right and left as well as for Dalit identity, and the long tradition of this great land of always standing up to Delhi. This is the account of the making of Maharashtra that its proud people deserved but had remained unwritten.
Download or read book Gandhi and the Unspeakable written by James W. Douglass and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1948, at the dawn of his country's independence, Mohandas Gandhi, father of the Indian independence movement and a beloved prophet of nonviolence, was assassinated by Hindu nationalists. In riveting detail, author James W. Douglass shows as he previously did with the story of JFK how police and security forces were complicit in the assassination and how in killing one man, they hoped to destroy his vision of peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation. Gandhi had long anticipated and prepared for this fate. In reviewing the little-known story of his early "experiments in truth" in South Africa the laboratory for Gandhi's philosophy of satyagraha, or truth force Douglass shows how early he confronted and overcame the fear of death. And, as with his account of JFK's death, he shows why this story matters: what we can learn from Gandhi's truth in the struggle for peace and reconciliation today.
