The urge to explore is an ancient one in the human species. The earliest explorations were driven by physical needs like food and shelter. But later with greater resources at their disposal, human beings became curious about their extended geographical environment and began to venture further from their safe zone. Over time mankind began to recognize that with successful exploration came rewards. In fact access to virgin natural resources was one of the driving factors behind the Golden Age of Exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries when many significant discoveries were made about the geography of the Earth. Again in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, much of the exploration of Africa and Asia were driven by the need to discover and colonize new markets for goods made by European countries. The 20 Greatest Explorers of the World traces these currents in the journey of human exploration by focusing on the most famous explorers in history as well as some lesser known names who are nevertheless responsible for charting new territories. Ranging from classical Greece to the mid twentieth century, traversing all parts of the globe and indeed beyond it, these explorers are testament to the fact that the desire to know and discover has inspired humans across time and space in history.

One Should not fail to thoroughly understand the Bhagavad Gita as ancient Science of worldly life. These were the words of Lokmanya Tilak. Truly, this is a true scripture of the human race as a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every civilization. As the days pass on, it's becoming more relevant for ages to come. Adi Shankaracharya brought it out from Epic Mahabharat as a clear knowledge to fulfil all the goals of human existence. From ancient to the modern brains it became source of inspiration. For Albert Einstein Bhagavad Gita was the main source of inspiration and guide for the purpose of scientific investigations and formation of his theories. With the hope that this book will be taken by the readers as a creation and not just a book, and will be a reference text to wide range of readers from students to philosophers, from spiritualists to scientists and writers. Purpose of bringing this book is not just to increase the readability and quotability of Bhagavad Gita through verses and haikus but also to increase spirituality among masses. -Publisher * Gandiva is the name of Arch (Dhanush) of Arjun

It reveals, in nutshell, that there may be apparent similsarities among tasawwuf , mysticism or surrealism and bhakti but they all have different concepts or no concept of God.

A major new collection of essays by Ramachandra Guha, Democrats and Dissenters is a work of rigorous scholarship on topics of compelling contemporary interest, written with elegance and wit. The book covers a wide range of themes: from the varying national projects of India’s neighbours to political debates within India itself, from the responsibilities of writers to the complex relationship between democracy and violence. It has essays critically assessing the work of Amartya Sen and Eric Hobsbawm, commentaries on the tragic predicament of tribals in India–who are, as Guha demonstrates, far worse off than Dalits or Muslims, yet get a fraction of the attention–and on the peculiar absence of a tradition of conservative intellectuals in India. Each essay takes up an important topic or an influential intellectual, as a window to explore major political and cultural debates in India and the world. Democrats and Dissenters is a book that is widely read, and even more widely discussed.

Twenty years after publication, it remains unsurpassed in the scope and depth of reportage, providing an intimate view of the daily struggles of the poor and the efforts, often ludicrous, made to uplift them. An illuminating introduction accompanying this twentieth-anniversary edition reveals, alarmingly, how a large section of India continues to suffer in the name of development so that a small percentage may prosper. Besides exposing chronic misgovernance, it is also a devastating comment on the media’s failure to speak for the voiceless.

The relationship between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a cultural organisation and the political parties Bharatiya Jana Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party is unique in the history of Indian polity. Because of the shared ideology and cadre, the inner workings and the interpersonal relationships have been a matter of surmise and conjecture. It has become even more so now that the BJP has an absolute majority and is the ruling party at the centre. With an unbroken relationship stretching from 1951 onwards, it is the informal weave of brotherhood that has made it a successful operation. This book depicts the history, foundation, and development of this relationship and how this symbiosis has unfolded over the years.

सभी जानवर बराबर हैं किन्तु कुछ जानवर अन्य जानवरों से ज़्यादा बराबर हैं। चार पैर अच्छे, दो पैर बुरे। अच्छा मनुष्य केवल वह है, जो मर चुका हो। यह कार्य पूर्णतयः स्वैच्छिक है, लेकिन जो पशु अनुपस्थित पाया गया, उसका राशन घटाकर आधा कर दिया जायेगा। मनुष्य अपने सिवा किसी प्राणी के हित के लिये काम नहीं करता है।

The authors’ mantra for life seems to be, to test each action on this touchstone- “Will this rebound to HIS renown?”

This diary is a compilation of my feelings, emotions and experiences. It is a saga of the highs and lows which I have undergone in the roller coaster called life. A bouquet of the joyous moments, when I have laughed so hard that tears have rolled down my cheeks. A bucket of tears that I have shed till there were no more to spare
