Keeping clear of the twin pitfall of hagiography and hyper-criticism, this book seeks to throw new light on Gandhi by looking simultaneously at his legend and career. The Gandhi legend is analyzed through the corpus of texts and images which helped spread it - through India and in the West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gradual creation of Gandhi as an icon is shown to be result of Indian nationalistic selectivity and Western Christian impoverishments of the range and depth of representations of the Mahatma.  Markovits suggests that the growth of a legend on the saint as politician, thorough these iconic transformations, has obscured the facts of Gandhi's specific public career in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGandhi's actual professional role in the public sphere, says Markovits, was marked by his long and critical phase of maturation in South Africa, a phase often glossed over, in laudatory account, as a preparation for his famous work in India.  This later Indian career, Markovits points out, was really the consequence of Gandhi having to radically reinvent himself, even as he worked his way through political ground realities to create what we now know as the quintessence of Gandhian politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe attempt made here is thus to revaluate some crucial points within Gandhi's career and sometimes ambivalent ideological positions.  Markovits argues that the disjunctions between the early and later Gandhi cannot be wished away or elided: they need to be squarely examined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than seeing Gandhi as an upholder of traditional Indian values, Markovits stresses the paradoxical modernity of Gandhi's anti-modernism.  What comes out strongly, in the end, is Gandhi as a polysemic figure, open to different, even contradictory, interpretations, whose peculiar modernity and susceptibility to varying appropriations makes him of enduring contemporary value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePERCEPTION OF GANDHI\u003cbr\u003eImages of Gandhi\u003cbr\u003eThe Impossible Biography of Mohandas K Gandhi\u003cbr\u003eGandhi's Posthumous Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGANDHI IN HISTORY\u003cbr\u003eBirth of a Leader\u003cbr\u003eGandhi and Indian Independence\u003cbr\u003eGandhi and Indian Society\u003cbr\u003eGandhi in the Ti\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Claude Markovits \/ Permanent Black \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776262910121,"sku":"12247","price":35.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12247_758d54ea-ca88-4df4-be0d-81b6896e90b2.jpg?v=1625567644"},{"product_id":"12555-nehru-a-political-life","title":"Nehru -  A Political Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Judith M Brown\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2004\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 407\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0195667956\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides compelling and complete biography of one of India’s finest statesmen and the county’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964).

Yet, some names stand out even among this distinguished group for feats and achievements that bear no parallel. Whether it is Chandragupta Maurya, who routed Alexander’s great generals to set up the first well-known-and recorded-native Indian dynasty in the region, or Samudragupta and Harshavardhana, under whom Indians enjoyed great prosperity and well-being, or the scions of the Mughal empire-Babur, Akbar, Jehangir, Shahjahan and Aurangzeb-who gave to India the art and architecture for which she is now internationally acclaimed, these men are the lodestones of our nation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqually worthy of mention are Dutugemunu and Parakrama Bahu pf Sri Lanka, who successfully fought the Tamil invaders of their island country and restored to the native Sinhalese a sense of pride and nationhood. Rana Pratap Singh of Mewar, who is still revered by the Rajputs for his courageous fight against the Mughals; Sher Shah, who, despite his great victories, had the foresight to turn his mind to nation-building and infrastructure; Shivaji, who knit the Marathas into an abiding force against the atrocities of Aurangzeb; Haider Ali of Mysore and his son, Tippu Sultan, who chose to die fighting than surrender before the British; Ganga Singh of Bikaner, who cared for his people with unparalleled tenderness, and Ranjit Singh, the pragmatic ruler of Punjab in the early 19th century-all these are men who have left their indelible stamp on the country that we know today as India. Rulers and Great Leaders of India tells us the story of these great men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Notes and Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChandragupta Maurya\u003cbr\u003eThe Imperial Guptas\u003cbr\u003eKing Harsha of Kanauj\u003cbr\u003eBabur\u003cbr\u003eRana Pratap Singh\u003cbr\u003eSher Shah\u003cbr\u003eAkbar\u003cbr\u003eJahangir\u003cbr\u003eShahjahan\u003cbr\u003eAurangzeb\u003cbr\u003eShivaji Bhosle\u003cbr\u003eHaidar Ali\u003cbr\u003eTippu Sultan.\u003cbr\u003eRanjit Singh\u003cbr\u003eThe Ruler of Bikaner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Eminent Contributors \/ Jaico \/ Paperback","offer_id":40776281882793,"sku":"12840","price":21.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12840_71585a75-2aac-4032-b138-af700dbeb616.jpg?v=1625514507"},{"product_id":"12937-hadrat-umar-farooq","title":"Hadrat Umar Farooq","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Masudul Hasan\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Kitab Bhavan\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2001\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 592\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8171512291\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the history of mankind, Hadrat Umar occupies a unique position.

Jaswant Singh attempts to find an answer, his answer, for there can perhaps not be a definitive answer, yet the author searches.

This book is special; it stands apart, for it is authored by a practitioner of policy, an innovator of policies in search of definitive answers.  Those burning whys of the last sixty-two years, which bedevil us still.  Jaswant Singh believes that for the return of lasting peace in South Asia there is no alternative but to first understand what made it abandon us in the first place.

But Albert Einstein, His human side by Swami Tathagatananda is especially valuable in that it emphasizes an aspect of Einstein that is spiritually uplifting. The world knows of Einstein’s genius and his role in the Scientific breakthroughs of the twentieth century. But is doesn’t know much about the man beneath the hype. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere was also his antimilitarism, which was a feature of his life from boyhood. He was subject to violence as a result of his jewishness, and because of this, as well as his innate nature, he abhorred violence. A number of times Swami Tathagatananda Mentions Einstein’s veneration of Mahatma Gandhi who he thought was the only great political leader of the twentieth century. Einstein felt that only a world government could keep the peace on this earth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuccess did not come easily for Einstein. As a young man he had considerable difficulty getting a job, and this become especially vexing after his father died and he needed to support his mother. One is reminded of swami Vivekananda’s plight after the death of his father, when it seemed no one was willing to hire him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone of Einstein’s difficulties ever soured him on humanity. He once said, “I feel such solidarity with all living people that it is a matter of indifference to me where the individual begins and where he ceases.” This rather Eastern sounding view accounted for his lack fear of death. As he wrote near the end of his life, “have come to look upon death as an old debt, at long last to be discharged.”\u003cbr\u003e--- Samuel D. Fohr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMMENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In this book on Einstein Characterized by brevity and depth of insight, Swami Tathagatananda discusses some of Einstein’s biographical details, some of his ideas on science but all his essential ideas on life. His book will appeal both to those who want to understand Einstein and to those want to understand life, and thereby alleviate their suffering it will appeal both to the scientist and to the general reader. One can emulate Einstein’s curiosity, his sense of wonder at life’s mysteries and above all, rise above “the vanity of human desires and aims” with their disappointments, suffering and tragedies, this veritable “vale of tears,” through unselfish work, service of others and a sense of the Supreme Intelligence pervading everything.”\u003cbr\u003e--- Hon. Nirupam Sen – Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In Albert Einstein, his human side, swami Tathagatananda sketches the main periods in Einstein’s life and career in thematically arranged chapters that reveal his familial, philosophical and humanitarian facets. Unusual and valuable is the book’s privileged view of the scientist as seen by a revered spiritual teacher of the Ramakrishna order. Tracing mystical currents that run through Einstein’s thought and work, the swami enlarges our perspective on the man-not only as a scientific genius, but as a great soul.” \u003cbr\u003e--- Prof. Beatrice C. Johnson, MA – Professor, Los Angeles harbor college, Wilmington, California \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In addition to sharing with the reader many of the details of Einstein’s life, Swami Tathagatananda calls our attention to the central role of harmony in his life. Firmly rooted in his sense of wonder and felling, the harmony to which Swami Tathagatananda refers is both musical and spiritual, manifest in the scientific theories Einstein posited in his pursuit of better understanding the nature of the universe. The author casts Einstein as a critically creative thinker for whom the arts and sciences were not mutually exclusive but co-dependant, a man whose complexly inclusive vision of the world allowed him to be a “militant pacifist” guided by a strong sense of a power hreater than himself that could be illuminated through science. It is these very human characteristics that the author highlights in this volume.” \u003cbr\u003e--- Walter Gershon, Ph.D. – Kent State University, Kent, Ohio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Today the world knows Albert Einstein as a synonym for scientific genius, the man who showed us the fundamental unity of mass, energy, time and space. In this book, Swami Tathagatananda highlights Einstein’s humane genius, informed by his understanding of the fundamental unity of all beings. We learn of his passion for peace in the turmoil of war, his fight for tolerance and understanding against hatred and injustice, his sympathy with the plight of common people. It is a vital and necessary message for our times.”\u003cbr\u003e--- Alex S.

Her research encompassed family reminiscence, oral literature, people's histories, as well as the more traditional sources of British and Indian historians.

She has also examined his historic role of raising the huge armed struggle for the establishment of mighty Sikh state in Punjab.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe early eighteenth century Punjab History witnessed a stiff resistance from the local chiefs (both religious and political), the 'Zamindars' and the peasants to local Mughal officials in their attempt to maintain imperial control.  They struggled for greater share in the revenues and in political power over the region, ultimately aiming to establish sovereignty in the different parts of the subahs of Punjab and Delhi.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most significant feature of the Sikh history during the course of 17th and the 18th centuries is that the 'Sikh' Community\/Nanak Panth which transformed the Sikhs, not only into a political force but a force to reckon with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this monograph an attempt has been made to give a critical assessment of life and achievements of Banda Singh Bahadur as well as an account of his struggle, as a leader of the Sikhs, against the Mughals.  Within a period of eight years after the death of Guru Gobind Singh in 1708, Banda Singh Bahadur was able to rouse the peasantry in the Majiha and Malwa areas to take up arms and successfully shook the very foundations of the Mughal Empire.  Due to his generosity and spiritual appeal, he had no dearth of recruits.  By 1710, Banda Bahadur had virtually become master of the territory worth about 36 lakhs of rupees per annum.  He made his own 'faujdars, diwans and kardars'.  He adopted Mukhlispur, an imperial fort now given the name of Lohgarh, as his headquarter.  To celebrate his successful capture of Sirhind in 1710, he not only introduced a new calendar from that date, he even struck coins in the name of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh.  Even though Banda Singh Bahadur's political career was short lived, as he was executed in June 1716 (near the tomb of Sheikh Qutbuddin Bhaktyar Kaki close to the Qutab Minar), his armed struggle had spread over the Malwa and the 'Majiha' territories.  The Mughal emperor ordered a general mobilization of all his forces in Delhi, Awadh and other neighboring areas and called for \"a Jihad against the Sikhs.\"  However, this goes without saying that Banda's struggle was political and agrarian in character which had exposed the feebleness of the Mughal administration and the discontentment of the peasants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author has emphasized that Banda Singh Bahadur had the acumen to plan and the ability to execute.  She has also examined his historic role of raising the huge armed struggle for the establishment of a mighty Sikh state in Punjab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003cbr\u003eSIKH GURUS AND MUGHAL EMPERORS\u003cbr\u003eRelations under Guru Nanak (1469 A.D. - 1539 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Angad Dev (1539 A.D. - 1552 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Amar Das (1552 A.D. - 1574 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Ram Das (1574 A.D. - 1581 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Arjan Dev (1581 A.D. - 1606 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003ePrince Khusrau Meets Guru Arjan\u003cbr\u003eJahangir's hatred for the Guru\u003cbr\u003eGuru Hargobing (1606 A.D. - 1645 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eSuccession of Shah Jahan\u003cbr\u003eBattle of Amritsar (1628 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBattle of Hargobindpur (1630 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Lahra and Gurusar (December 1634 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Kartarpur (April 26, 1635 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Phagwara (April 29, 1635 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Har Rai (1645 A.D. - 1661 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Har Krishan (1661 A.D. - 1664 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Tegh Bahadur (1664 A.D. - 1675 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eGuru Gobind Singh and Aurangzeb (1675 A.D. - 1707 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eFirst Period (1675 A.D. - 1699 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eConflict with Kahlur\u003cbr\u003eFirst Battle of Anandpur (1682 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eSecond Battle of Anandpur (1685 A.D)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Bhangani (April 16, 1689 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Nadaun (1690 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eRustam Khan's Expedition against the Guru (1691 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Expedition of Hussain Khan (1693 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBattle between 1694-96 A.D.\u003cbr\u003eExpedition of Jujhar Singh (1697 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003ePrince Muazzam's March into the Hills(1698 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBattle with Alam Chand and Balia Chand\u003cbr\u003eFortification of Anandpur\u003cbr\u003eThe Post-Khalsa Period (1699 A.D.-1708)\u003cbr\u003eFirst Battle of Anandpur (1699 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBattle of Nirmoh (1700 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBattle of Basali (1700 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe First Battle of Chamkaur (1702 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Third Battle of Anandpur (1703 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Fourth Battle of Kiratpur (1704 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Fifth and the Last Battle of Anandpur (1704 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Bachhora Sahib on the River Sarsa (December 21, 1704 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Second Battle of Chamkaur (December 22, 1704 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eFateh Nama\u003cbr\u003eTwo Younger Sons of the Guru Executed (December 27, 1704 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eThe Zafar Nama\u003cbr\u003eThe Battle of Khidrana (May 8, 1705 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003eBahadur Shah and Guru Gobind Singh (February 20, 1707 A.D. - October 7, 1708 A.D.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.
