Cast in the backdrop of the Mughal era during the reigns of Aurangzeb and his successors, Pratirodh is a saga of the relentless resistance by a few brave men against a seemingly invincible Empire to protect their honour and way of life. In response to the rather partisan policies of Mughal emperors, a number of personalities came forward in different parts of Hindustan, to lead people in resisting the tyranny. Though the geographical dispersion precluded any visible unified approach, they were indirectly benefitted by each other. When Aurangzeb got cowed down in Rajputana against the unified resistance of Marwar and Mewar, it provided much needed succour to the great Shivaji and Guru Govind Singh to regroup and consolidate forces in their respective areas. The credit for tying down the Mughals for the longest period in history goes to the Marathas; this also acted as a lifeline to the Sikhs, Rajputs, Bundelas and Jats. Rajputs and Sikhs repaid their debt to Marathas by keeping the Mughals, post Aurangzeb, completely embroiled in Punjab and Rajputana, and indirectly paving the way for an almost unchallenged rise of the Marathas. The prolonged resistance witnessed the supreme sacrifices of numerous unsung heroes of medieval history. Through unmatched grit and determination, they succeeded in bringing down the mighty Empire to its knees, eventually leading to its demise.

Description:
साहित्य में ‘मंज़रनामा’ एक मुकम्मिल फ़ार्म है। यह एक ऐसी विधा है जिसे पाठक बिना किसी रुकावट के रचना का मूल आस्वाद लेते हुए पढ़ सकें। लेकिन मंज़रनामा का अन्दाज़े-बयाँ अमूमन मूल रचना से अलग हो जाता है या यूँ कहें कि वह मूल रचना का इंटरप्रेटेशन हो जाता है।
मंज़रनामा पेश करने का एक उद्देश्य तो यह है कि पाठक इस फ़ार्म से रू-ब-रू हो सकें और दूसरा यह कि टी.वी. और सिनेमा में दिलचस्पी रखनेवाले लोग यह देख-जान सकें कि किसी कृति को किस तरह मंज़रनामे की शक्ल दी जाती है। टी.वी. की आमद से मंज़रनामों की ज़रूरत में बहुत इज़ाफ़ा हो गया है।
यह ज़िन्दगी की किताब है जिसे बाबला स्कूल से बाहर शहर में, अपने दोस्त पप्पू के साथ, घर में अपने जीजा और दीदी के रिश्ते की धूप-छाँव में और फिर घर से भागकर माँ तक पहुँचने के अपने दिलचस्प सफ़र में पढ़ता है। और फिर वापस एक नए जज़्बे के साथ स्कूली किताबों के पास लौटता है। फूल को चड्डी पहनानेवाले गुलज़ार की फ़िल्म ‘किताब’ का यह मंज़रनामा फिर साबित करता है कि बच्चों के मनोविज्ञान को समझने में जैसी महारत उन्हें हासिल है, वह दुर्लभ है—फ़िल्मों में भी और साहित्य में भी।

Description:
साहित्य वास्तव में मनुष्य धर्म को रेखांकित करनेवाला वह रूप है, जो अपने देश के समाज के परिदृश्य को उसके बहुआयामी रंगों में कैनवस पर फैला हुआ दिखलाता है। साहित्य ही देश को गति भी देता है और उसे जीवंत बनाने का प्रयत्न करता है।
धर्म से साहित्य का रिश्ता एक ख़ास मायने में परिलक्षित होता है। साहित्य द्वारा ही धर्म का परिचालन होता है, लेकिन वह धर्म से तटस्थ रहकर अपनी बात कह सकने में समर्थ है।
इसीलिए ये तीनों लेखक को परस्पर ओत-प्रोत दिखाई पड़े हैं। ये अन्दर या बाहर रहते हुए भी एक-दूसरे के पूरक होने का आभास देते हैं।
संग्रह के निबन्धों में आज का समय कहीं भी ओझल नहीं हुआ, बल्कि ठोस धरातल पर क़दम जमाए खड़ा है, परन्तु कालातीत से ग्रहण करने की पूरी क्षमता भी रखता है।

He detested mediocrity and always pushed his limits, both physically and mentally. He inspired generations of youngsters worldwide through his work and continues to do so even today. On July 20, 1973, the world lost this most influential martial artist of all time.
