Book excerpt: Although the peaceful struggles of Mahatma Gandhi are well known in the West, the armed resistance of many Indians during World War II is far less understood; this epic drama ads an important layer to the history of India and the British Empire. The east Asian battlefronts serve as the backgrounds for this story of the attempt by patriotic Indians to drive the British out of their Motherland and gain independence; of the fanatic ambition to attain this goal by the man who chose to be called "Nataji" (the leader), Subhas Chandra Bose; and of the Indian Independence League, ingratiating themselves to the Japanese to further their end while the Japanese happily appeared to reciprocate to gain the Indians' support against the British. The action and drama that filled this battle within the larger scale war is vividly told in this first person narrative by one who remembers what it feels like to have closely escaped death and is grateful to be alive to tell about it. Author Sivaram, who enjoyed the confidence of Netaji Bose and was appointed by him to several positions of responsibility during the Free India campaign, is uniquely qualified to tell this stirring tale.

Download or read book War of Civilisations Road to Delhi written by Amaresh Misra and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 2072 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EIGHTEEN FIFTY-SEVEN was an epic confrontation of race and politics between the colonial new western secular-positivism now in alliance with western Christianity, and the indigenous new, the forces of peasant-aristocratic Asian capitalism and modernity. Till today it remains the only event, which gives a glimpse of lost possibilities of a non-Western, free, unfettered Asiatic personality and development. It outlines in detail the machinations and mindset of liberal western Imperialism, so easily lured into secular Imperialism and then into religious fundamentalism, its promise of liberty turning into a nightmare of oppression and cruelty. Accessible to scholars, historians, lay readers, students of military adventure and battles, ideologies, action and drama, the story of 1857 story resonates with smells and sounds of an Indian caravanserai and chandukhana, the auburn-gray picture of high sounding, sex starved Victorian England. It offers for the first time an East-West conflict with equal footage offered to both sides seen from a contemporary perspective Asian and Western, indigenous and modern revolving around the heterogeneous needs and aspirations of the present, strife ridden age. T The book in two volumes, showcases a West, the West has never seen, an Asia which Asians are unaware of and a story of `The Indian Mutiny which has never been told before. The whole Asia-Europe conflict gets a new slant. In the current world, political climate of East-West polarization, this book is bound to do well both in India, Asia and the West.
