The history of India, so far, has not focused on a civilizational Bharatiya perspective, emphasizing a geo-political history based on the Nation-state paradigm, rather than a geo-cultural practice based on India’s civilizational antiquity.
Until recently, history had been viewed from various ideological lenses- Colonial, Nationalist, Marxist, Subaltern, soon and so forth. These schools have been immensely successful not only in tapping the immense range of sources and exploring the various regions and sub-regions across the subcontinent, but have also contributed towards bringing to light important perspectives concerning the political, economic, social and cultural developments in the history of India from the 8th to the 14th centuries.
While tapping into these schools has its obvious advantages, in that they have focused on partial aspects of the grand march of the civilization’s history, a lot still needs to be done.

An Indian I Am

K.K. Muhammed
- Book Type:

- Description: This is the autobiography of an Indian Archaeologist who had the courage to speak the truth both against the Marxist historians and Hindutva groups. He Believes in public Archaeology and takes archaeology to the common man through the print and visual media and also floating innovative student programmes such as ‘Adopt A Heritage’ and ‘Grey Revolution’. His human engineering with dacoits of Chambal valley and naxals of Jagdalpur enabled him to penetrate into the forbidden land and conserve many monuments. The Replica Museum set up by him in Delhi, behind the Siri Fort auditorium, swimming against the current popular ideological slogans, demonstrated his unflinching faith in Indian culture and civilisation. He not only freed many monuments from encroachments by fighting against the powerful religious groups and land mafia but also added around forty acres of land to the immovable property of the Archaeological Survey of India in Delhi. In a refreshing departure from the construction and conservation work sites where workers toil and sweat, he introduced a human element by running children’s schools, adult schools, and free food. This book also has a_ thought- provoking chapter on marketing Indian Heritage, a business diversification model. Above all, it reads like a book of Positive thinking and creative ideas. By the time, you finish the book, it may change your thoughts and outlook.
Baba & Me

- Book Type:

- Description: When I met Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India on the 26th of March 2015, my enthusiasm for music was at its lowest ebb. During our conversation, Modiji was intrigued by my dream project, 'Sangeet Gram', an academy in the memory of Ustad Bismillah Khan. But, I was surprised to find that he shared this dream with me, having himself built a museum to preserve the endangered instruments of India. The following year arrived and I began preparations for Ustad Bismillah Khan's centennial celebrations, including the construction of Sangeet Gram. It was then that I received the honour of being inducted into the National Implementation Committee for Centenary Celebrations and my efforts now extend to holding celebration concerts in India and abroad. I had already been writing an account of Baba's life; the priceless anecdotes that he had shared and the surreal moments that we had spent together. In order to commemorate his musical genius and celebrate 100 years of his unparalleled contribution to music in this field, I deemed it fit to publish it all in book form. I hope this book provides its readers with an insight into Baba's life, and that they too celebrate his simplicity, his undying perseverance and patience with his art, the genius of his music and my musical journey, through this book-'Baba & Me'.

Bhagat singh Aur Unke Sathiyon Ke Dastavez
- Author Name:

- Description: शहीद भगत सिंह ने कहा था : ‘क्रान्ति की तलवार विचारों की सान पर तेज़ होती है’ और यह भी कि ‘क्रान्ति ईश्वर-विरोधी हो सकती है, मनुष्य-विरोधी नहीं’। ध्यान से देखा जाए तो ये दोनों ही बातें भगत सिंह के महान क्रान्तिकारी व्यक्तित्व का निर्माण करती हैं। लेकिन इस सन्दर्भ में महत्त्वपूर्ण यह है कि भगत सिंह की विचारधारा और उनकी क्रान्तिकारिता के ज्वलन्त प्रमाण जिन लेखों और दस्तावेज़ों में दर्ज हैं, वे आज भी पूर्ववत् प्रासंगिक हैं, क्योंकि ‘इस’ आज़ादी के बाद भी भारतीय समाज ‘उस’ आज़ादी से वंचित है, जिसके लिए उन्होंने और उनके असंख्य साथियों ने बलिदान दिया था। दूसरे शब्दों में, भगत सिंह के क्रान्तिकारी विचार उन्हीं के साथ समाप्त नहीं हो गए, क्योंकि व्यक्ति की तरह किसी विचार को कभी फाँसी नहीं दी जा सकती। कहने की आवश्यकता नहीं कि यह पुस्तक भगत सिंह की इसी विचारधारात्मक भूमिका को समग्रता के साथ हमारे सामने रखती है। वस्तुत: हिन्दी में पहली बार प्रकाशित यह कृति भगत सिंह के भावनाशील विचारों, विचारोत्तेजक लेखों, ऐतिहासिक दस्तावेज़ों, वक्तव्यों तथा उनके साथियों और पूर्ववर्ती शहीदों की क़लम से निकले महत्त्वपूर्ण विचारों की ऐसी प्रस्तुति है जो वर्तमान सामाजिक, राजनीतिक स्थितियों की बुनियादी पड़ताल करने में हमारी दूर तक मदद करती है।

Bangla Ki Lokpriya Kahaniyan

- Description: बाग्ला साहित्य बड़ा सरस और क्रांतिकारी रहा है। बांग्ला में उपन्यास तथा कहानी विधा को खूब प्रश्रय मिला। बंकिमचंद्र चट्टोपाध्याय उपन्यास के साथ-साथ छोटी कहानियाँ भी लिखते रहे। स्वर्णकुमारी देवी एवं कुछ अन्य महिलाएँ भी पत्र-पत्रिकाओं में बांग्ला कहानियाँ प्रकाशित करवाती रहीं। किंतु बांग्ला कहानी, गल्प-रचना के आदर्श रूप का प्रकाशन 1877 ईस्वी में प्रकाशित ‘रामेश्वरेर अदृश्य’ नामक कहानी द्वारा हुआ, जिसे संजीव चंद चट्टोपाध्याय ने प्रकाशित करवाया था। अंग्रेजी लघु-कथाओं के समानांतर बांग्ला कहानी का अपना खुद का रचना-विधान-शिल्प और कथ्य सर्वप्रथम कवि रवींद्रनाथ ठाकुर की कहानी ‘क्षुधित पाषाण’ से सन् 1890 ई. में स्वाभाविक रूप से संरचित हुआ। कहानी की आकृति और प्रकृति निश्चित हो जाने के उपरांत बांग्ला कहानी क्रमश: एक से एक ऊँचाइयाँ छूती गई। ऐसे ही कथारस से परिपूर्ण बांग्ला के श्रेष्ठ कथाकारों की लोकप्रिय कहानियाँ इस संग्रह में संकलित हैं। ये कहानियाँ एक ओर जहाँ बांग्ला समाज के उत्थान, विसंगति एवं ऊहापोह को दिग्दर्शित करती हैं, वहीं रोचक होने के कारण पाठकों का भरपूर मनोरंजन एवं ज्ञानवर्धन भी करती हैं।
