लेखक ऋषि राज को दो बार कारगिल जाने का अवसर प्राप्त हुआ है। अपनी इन यात्राओं के दौरान उन्होंने उन जगहों को बहुत नजदीक से देखा, जहाँ हमारे वीर शहीदों के बलिदान की अमर गाथा लिखी गई। द्रास, कारगिल, काकसर और बटालिक के इलाके मूक गवाह हैं, हमारे जवानों द्वारा प्रदर्शित शौर्य और पराक्रम के। यह पुस्तक संकलन है उन भावों का, जो लेखक ने इन जगहों पर जाकर इतिहास के पन्नों को पलटकर हासिल किए हैं। यह तो आप जानते ही हैं कि कारगिल युद्ध परिणाम था पाकिस्तान द्वारा धोखे से हमारे सीमाक्षेत्र में घुसपैठ करने का, जिसके परिणाम स्वरूप वो हमारी 150 किलोमीटर लंबी सीमा पर 160 चौकियों पर काबिज हो गया। जबकि वर्षों से दोनों देशों में एक मूक सहमति थी कि सर्दियों में दोनों ही देश इन चौकियों को खाली रखेंगे। परंतु पाकिस्तान ने हमेशा की भाँति भारत को धोखा दिया। पाकिस्तान के तत्कालीन सेनाध्यक्ष परवेज मुशर्रफ भारत से सियाचिन का बदला लेना चाहते थे, जिसके लिए उन्होंने कारगिल युद्ध की व्यूह रचना कर डाली। भारत के शूरवीर सैनिकों ने विषम परिस्थितियों के बावजूद पाकिस्तान को भारत भूमि से खदेड़कर बाहर कर दिया। यह पुस्तक मिश्रण है—ऐतिहासिक तथ्यों, भावनाओं, कारगिल वीरों की पराक्रम गाथा का और एक पुण्य प्रयास है शहीदों के बलिदान की स्मृति को जागृत रखने का। आशा है, यह प्रयास आपको अवश्य पसंद आएगा। जय हिंद

The gradual and steady rise of the 90-year-old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has fueled many myths. ‘Know About RSS’ unravels the organisation's functioning by providing insight into hitherto unexplained aspects of the RSS – the daily Shakha, Saffron Flag, Prayer, Training Camps, Full-Time Workers, etc. This book provides authentic information about the organisational structure of the RSS, which is simple yet unique and baffling to those unfamiliar with it.

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.

This book is about fundamental issues that define our country's development course. In a diverse cross-section of topics, the author discusses in his inimitable style the fundamental flaws that have beset the nation's relentless march to progress and prosperity. He also elaborates how a shift in the positions of individual members of society on different issues could cause a qualitative difference in the course of events and thereby lead to a better tomorrow. The articles compiled in this book have already appeared in social media on the author�s writing platform (drsunilgupta.com) and won wide acclaim. Endowed with the right balance of insight and prowess owing to the extensive exposure and rich experience gained in his professional capacity in the corporate, economic and social sectors, the author has been able to do justice to the task at hand. Not written with any particular section or group of persons in mind, the book aims to pique the interest, curiosity and conscience of the individual reader and thereby motivate him to think and then inspire him to act for the inclusive and sustainable development of our nation. Being an inalienable and intricate part of society, the individual's thought pattern will make all the difference in the final shaping of our country's destiny. And that, dear reader, is the undercurrent of the brook of the author's thoughts that this book tries to encapsulate.

The Congress Party has often spoken about fascism and fascist tendencies. The leaders of this party have always accused other leaders of fascist tendencies. But the reality is entirely different. The three chapters in this book provide a chilling account of this party's contempt for democratic traditions and its dalliance with dictatorship. This is an eye-opener for most Indian citizens, who are unaware of the incidents quoted in this book. All in all, this is an exposé to alert citizens and to make them eternally vigilant so that the core values in the Indian Constitution and the democratic traditions remain intact.

"India is home to hundreds of tribal communities, each with their own unique cultures, traditions and ways of life. Among these are the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs), who are identified as being at risk of losing their distinct identities, livelihoods and traditional practices. This book takes an in-depth look at the PVTGs residing in the state of Jharkhand through the analytical lens of anthropology. It consists of untold stories on its indigenous people as a tribute to their reliance, wisdom and unwavering Spirit. Through a chronological exploration, the book aims to understand the pivotal role played in shaping regional identity with political historicity, livelihood practices, indigenous knowledge, dynamic interest with local life and to investigate the indigenous’ contribution. The authors evaluate current policies related to the preservation and empowerment of PVTGs. The book highlights the urgent need to protect and uplift these ancient but vulnerable communities before their irreplaceable cultures are lost forever."

It was a court battle between the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru and Organiser, an English weekly backed by the RSS that led to restrictions on freedom of expression which we are debating today. The RSS had defended the sacred Sikh Shrine ‘Darbar Sahib’ at Amritsar twice when Muslim League led mobs attacked it in 1947. Did you know that one single anti-India and pro-China book ‘India’s China War’ written by Anglo-Australian journalist Neville Maxwell shaped the global narrative against India for more than five decades. It was a Swedish journalist Bertil Lintner who challenged it and turned the tables on Chinese propaganda with his book ‘China’s India War’ but even Indians don’t talk about it. Everyone remembers the 1962 war when India lost to China but there was another war in 1967 on Sikkim border where India took the revenge of 1967 and defeated China. Most of us don’t even know about this great victory! Indians have been made to remember the 1962 defeat and forget the glorious victory of 1967. Many such stories which comprise the forgotten history of India are part of this book. This forgotten history of India has been buried deep down in the dusty archives waiting to be told.

‘Bharat first’ is in many sense a trendsetting book. As a pioneering text, it deals with the transparent vision of one of the chief architects of the nation Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar with authentic evidences. The wholistic panorama of the then Bharat in logically embroidered chapterisation with Persnickety precision breaks the conventional barriers raised against the real personality of Dr. Ambedkar. The book is among the very few books that explores versatile character of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar with proper evidences and arguments. For future researchers, these well examined articles would play the role of foundational stones in the search of real personality of Constitutional architect of ‘BHARAT, that is India’.
