Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life-story of this great conqueror in this book begins with a lecture of Chanakya. During the time of Alexander's invasion of India, Chanakya was a teacher in Takshashila, a very famous world class university of those days. Aristotle, the Greek thinker-philosopher molded and groomed Alexander, the Prince of Macedonia similarly Chanakya, a guru, a master of art of living par excellence taught, molded, groomed Chandragupta Maurya, a common boy and installed him as Emperor of India. Chanakya is the epitome of timeless Hindu wisdom. This piece of speech of Chanakya that you will find in this book in the very beginning is nowhere documented in any history book. The writer has written this speech imagining that 2500 years back in Takshashila university in India Chanakya could be possibly teaching something of this nature to his students. An e-book titled 'Chanakya' - 'The Epitome of Timeless Hindu Wisdom' written by this author is also available here on Amazon which would be very helpful to know more about the life of Chanakya. Alexander, in order to conquer the world invaded Persia, fought brutal battles against the vast army of a giant empire like Persia, defeated it by his small army and captured entire Persia. His conquest continued further from Persia till the border regions of India. So to give a depth to the structure of the life story of this brilliant, brave Greek warrior his story begins with the piece of speech by Chanakya, the Indian Guru. The reader this way gets connected with the Indian, Persian and Greek culture and history which makes the story more interesting. It broadens the cultural overview of the reader.Accordingly an account of the Greek life and culture that you will find in this book is very intriguing. All about the early life of the Prince of Macedonia, Alexander - his primary education and training by the best teachers of Macedonia, then the time he spent with Aristotle at Stagira who groomed him to be a Man with a difference, an able leader, and a King. Then about the tough challenges he faced at a very young age, his struggles, fights, battles, conflicts and his victories and then after all how he emerged as an unchallenged King of entire Greece. The account of Alexander's meeting with Diogenes, a Greek mystic is very educative. The Greek warrior's inspiring skill of management of manpower, his self-esteem and his confidence when he set off for his conquest of Persia.Some mind enriching facts that we come across and learn from the life story of this Greek conqueror is: To advance with incredible high speed and then turn all the calculations of the enemy wrong and futile. King Phillip fulfilled his ambitions of winning the battles and expanding his kingdom by implementing this innovative ides. Alexander too subdued all the city-states of his native land with the help of the same strategy and then conquered entire Greece. So valuable is this idea that even in present times speed happens to be a very crucial component of the strategy of fighting a decisive war. The more speedier jet planes, missiles and firepower you have the stronger you are. To attack with a speed that the enemy would never have expected and then turn all his preparations insufficient. High achievers and victorious people are a result of such innovative ideas generated in their fertile brains.Phalanx was another such innovation of the Greeks. The battle formation of the Greek militia of the front rows with long Phalanx in their arms when they launched an severe attack on the enemy at the opposite end literally made the enemy incapable of any resistance.As against the speed and the Phalanx of the Greeks the Indians had their bow and the arrow. The bow used to be of the height of a human. The bow was upholstered with cow skin for a firm grip. There are plenty of many such interesting things in this book which will help you connect with the roots and enlighten you. Wish you a happy fruitful reading.

Download or read book Continuing Dilemmas written by Sudhir Chandra and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central argument in this volume is that contemporary social consciousness is marked by an underlying ambivalence that resists analysis in terms of neat binary categories. Exploring the interplay of contradictory impulses and the confluence of apparently irreconcilable forces in the making of social and political phenomena, the essays here deal with a wide range of issues concerning our colonial past and the post-colonial present. The author deals with the stirrings of the nationalist consciousness in nineteenth-century India to show that the same person(s) or movement often revealed both progressive and reactionary attitudes. The ambivalence, further, reveals itself equally in the texts of nineteenth-century writers and in cataclysmic events like Hindu Muslim riots in Gujarat today. Two essays on Govardhan-ram Tripathi, a Gujarati litterateur, bring out the unresolved contradictions that underlay his own consciousness and that of his society. More than a century later, the post-1992 riots in Surat and the Hindutva terror in Gujarat in 2002 reveal the vulnerability of broader social forces. Gandhi s realization of the failure of swadeshi in the wake of Noakhali, as indeed the dilemma posed by his attitude to religious conversion, further prove the point. Sudhir Chandra is the author of Enslaved Daughters: Colonialism, Law and Women s Rights (1997), The Oppressive Present: Literature and Social Consciousness in Colonial India (1992), Dependence and Disillusionment: Emergence of National Consciousness in Later Nineteenth Century India (1975).
Download or read book Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy written by Barrington Moore and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 1993-09-01 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work of comparative history explores why some countries have developed as democracies and others as fascist or communist dictatorships Originally published in 1966, this classic text is a comparative survey of some of what Barrington Moore considers the major and most indicative world economies as they evolved out of pre-modern political systems into industrialism. But Moore is not ultimately concerned with explaining economic development so much as exploring why modes of development produced different political forms that managed the transition to industrialism and modernization. Why did one society modernize into a "relatively free," democratic society (by which Moore means England)? Why did others metamorphose into fascist or communist states? His core thesis is that in each country, the relationship between the landlord class and the peasants was a primary influence on the ultimate form of government the society arrived at upon arrival in its modern age. “Throughout the book, there is the constant play of a mind that is scholarly, original, and imbued with the rarest gift of all, a deep sense of human reality . . . This book will influence a whole generation of young American historians and lead them to problems of the greatest significance.” —The New York Review of Books
Download or read book Who Wants Democracy written by Javeed Alam and published by Orient Blackswan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment of its birth democracy in India was plagued by a deep anxiety. In 1947, Nehru saw the future as a time to redeem pledges, a time to fulfil the hopes that had been aroused during the national struggle. But he was well aware that this was a difficult task. Reforms followed, democratic instituttions were set up, and universal adult franchise was established. But poverty, illiteracy and poor health remained part of the post-colonial landscape. Why then do the poor and the malnutrited return in every election to choose their representatives, to form the government of their choice? Through an effort to answer this seeming paradox, Alam explores the working of democracy in India. beneath the play of caste and communal politics, and the threats of institutional collapse, Alam sees democracy acquiring a firm basis within Indian society. He shows what the voting patterns tell us about the links between regional voices and national unity, between the politics of community and the idea of citizenship, between the commitments of the poor and the apathy of the rich. This is a tract that questions our common assumptions and forces us to re-think our ideas about the life of Indian democracy.
