Sardar Patel: The Supreme Architrect In Unification of India (Volume 2)
How many of us really know how the issues related to North-Eastern states were handled? Or, for that matter, what was Privy Purse for the princely states? Why Sardar was worried that they were attempts not to grant them Constitutional status (Indira Gandhi got it abolished in the early 1970s)? Further, this book sheds special light on how the Hyderabad episode was handled. Coming from a former Judge, also the author of “Nehru’s Himalayan Blunders”, the book provides to-the-point arguments based on official documents, a large number of which have been quoted verbatim. For those who wanted to know anything about the humongous effort of Sardar in unifying India, be it a student or a researcher or just anyone wanting to more about one’s own country, this book is a real eye-opener. We all know that India has existed thousands and thousands of years before 1947. But, had Sardar been the king of yesteryears, he could well have been known as the ‘chakravartin’, who brought entire India under one umbrella – that is the Indian union. Read this book know how he achieved that feat – democratically.

Lauhpurush Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
लौह पुरुष सरदार वल्लभभाई पटेल का जन्म नडियाद, गुजरात में हुआ। उनकी शिक्षा मुख्यतः स्वाध्याय से ही हुई। लंदन जाकर उन्होंने बैरिस्टर की पढ़ाई पूरी की और वापस आकर गुजरात के अहमदाबाद में वकालत करने लगे। महात्मा गांधी के विचारों से प्रेरित होकर वे भारत के स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन से पूरी तरह जुड़ गए। स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन में सरदार पटेल का सबसे पहला और बड़ा योगदान खेड़ा आंदोलन में रहा। बारदोली में सशक्त सत्याग्रह करने के लिए ही उन्हें ‘सरदार’ कहा जाने लगा। सरदार पटेल को 1937 तक दो बार कांग्रेस का सभापति बनने का गौरव प्राप्त हुआ। आजादी के बाद भारत के राजनीतिक एकीकरण में उनके महान् योगदान के लिए इतिहास उन्हें सदैव स्मरण रखेगा। अपनी दृढ़ता के कारण वे ‘लौह पुरुष’ कहलाए। सरदार पटेल स्वतंत्र भारत के उप-प्रधानमंत्री होने के साथ प्रथम गृह, सूचना तथा रियासत विभाग के मंत्री भी थे। उनकी महानतम देन है 562 छोटी-बड़ी रियासतों का भारतीय संघ में विलय करना। वे नवीन भारत के निर्माता, राष्ट्रीय एकता के बेजोड़ शिल्पी और भारतीय जनमानस अर्थात् किसान की आत्मा थे। अपने रणनीतिक कौशल, राजनीतिक दक्षता और अदम्य इच्छा-शक्ति के बल पर भारत को एक नई पहचान देनेवाले समर्पित इतिहास-पुरुष की प्रेरणाप्रद जीवनी।.

India’s independence from the British on August 15, 1947, was preceded by its partition on religious lines having a murky history of dangerous antics and shenanigans of the likes of Muslim League, Jinnah and others; supported, either by accident or design, by Congress and its leadership. That Nehru failed miserably to control the situation, in which there was bloodshed, communal hatred, brutalization of women and loss of India’s territory, is a well-known story. The question is what would have been the status of India’s political borders had, say, Nehru been in charge of ‘unifying’ India – that is bringing together more than 500 princely states within the Indian union? We could well have been left to wishful thinking – “Had Sardar been the in-charge of the department handling unification of princely states within the Indian union”. This book, a well-researched document, takes the reader step-by-step on how Sardar went after the task; and how diligently he completed them. Of course, the story of Hyderabad and Junagarh is slightly more well-known. But do you know how Chhattisgarh and Orissa (now Odisha), or even Lunavada (in Gujarat), Deccan States and so many others were included in the Indian union? Do we today ever realise that these states were ‘not part of independent India’? That is why we say it is not only a book for history enthusiasts but all students, who ought to know the real political map of our country when it became independent.

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
वीर सावरकर रचित ‘1857 का स्वातंत्र्य समर’ विश्व की पहली इतिहास पुस्तक है, जिसे प्रकाशन के पूर्व ही प्रतिबंधित होने का गौरव प्राप्त हुआ। इस पुस्तक को ही यह गौरव प्राप्त है कि सन् 1909 में इसके प्रथम गुप्त संस्करण के प्रकाशन से 1947 में इसके प्रथम खुले प्रकाशन तक के अड़तीस वर्ष लंबे कालखंड में इसके कितने ही गुप्त संस्करण अनेक भाषाओं में छपकर देश-विदेश में वितरित होते रहे। इस पुस्तक को छिपाकर भारत में लाना एक साहसपूर्ण क्रांति-कर्म बन गया। यह देशभक्त क्रांतिकारियों की ‘गीता’ बन गई। इसकी अलभ्य प्रति को कहीं से खोज पाना सौभाग्य माना जाता था। इसकी एक-एक प्रति गुप्त रूप से एक हाथ से दूसरे हाथ होती हुई अनेक अंत:करणों में क्रांति की ज्वाला सुलगा जाती थी।
पुस्तक के लेखन से पूर्व सावरकर के मन में अनेक प्रश्न थे—सन् 1857 का यथार्थ क्या है? क्या वह मात्र एक आकस्मिक सिपाही विद्रोह था? क्या उसके नेता अपने तुच्छ स्वार्थों की रक्षा के लिए अलग-अलग इस विद्रोह में कूद पड़े थे, या वे किसी बड़े लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति के लिए एक सुनियोजित प्रयास था? यदि हाँ, तो उस योजना में किस-किसका मस्तिष्क कार्य कर रहा था? योजना का स्वरूप क्या था? क्या सन् 1857 एक बीता हुआ बंद अध्याय है या भविष्य के लिए प्रेरणादायी जीवंत यात्रा? भारत की भावी पीढ़ियों के लिए 1857 का संदेश क्या है? आदि-आदि। और उन्हीं ज्वलंत प्रश्नों की परिणति है प्रस्तुत ग्रंथ—‘1857 का स्वातंत्र्य समर’! इसमें तत्कालीन संपूर्ण भारत की सामाजिक व राजनीतिक स्थिति के वर्णन के साथ ही हाहाकार मचा देनेवाले रण-तांडव का भी सिलसिलेवार, हृदय-द्रावक व सप्रमाण वर्णन है। प्रत्येक भारतीय हेतु पठनीय व संग्रहणीय, अलभ्य कृति!SKU: n/a -

Kala Pani (PB)
काला पानी की भयंकरता का अनुमान इसी एक बात से लगाया जा सकता है कि इसका नाम सुनते ही आदमी सिहर उठता है। काला पानी की विभीषिका, यातना एवं त्रासदी किसी नरक से कम नहीं थी। विनायक दामोदर सावरकर चूँकि वहाँ आजीवन कारावास भोग रहे थे, अत: उनके द्वारा लिखित यह उपन्यास आँखों-देखे वर्णन का-सा पठन-सुख देता है। इस उपन्यास में मुख्य रूप से उन राजबंदियों के जीवन का वर्णन है, जो ब्रिटिश राज में अंडमान अथवा ‘काला पानी’ में सश्रम कारावास का भयानक दंड भुगत रहे थे। काला पानी के कैदियों पर कैसे-कैसे नृशंस अत्याचार एवं क्रूरतापूर्ण व्यवहार किए जाते थे, उनका तथ वहाँ की नारकीय स्थितियों का इसमें त्रासद वर्णन है। इसमें हत्यारों, लुटेरों, डाकुओं तथा क्रूर, स्वार्थी, व्यसनाधीन अपराधियों का जीवन-चित्र भी उकेरा गया है। उपन्यास में काला पानी के ऐसे-ऐसे सत्यों एवं तथ्यों का उद्घाटन हुआ है, जिन्हें पढ़कर रोंगटे खड़े हो जाते हैं।

The story is told. The curtain has been brought down on it. Two life-sentences have been run. And I have brought together my recollections of them within the cover of this book. They are narrated in brief and put together within the narrowest.
When I came into this world, God sent me here possibly on a sort of life-sentence. It was the span of life allotted to me by time to stay in this ‘prison-house of life’. This story is but a chapter of that book of life, which is a longer story not yet ended.
You can finish reading the book in a day, while I had to live it for 14 long years of transportation. And if the story is so tiresome, unendurable and disgusting to you, how much must have been the living of it for me! Every moment of those 14 years in that jail has been an agony of the soul and the body to me, and to my fellow convicts in that jail. It was not only fatiguing, unbearable and futile to us all, it was equally or more excruciating to them as to me. And it is only that you may know it and feel the fatigue, the disgust and the pain of it as we have felt it, that I have chosen to write it for you.
—Excerpts from this bookThis is the story of Swatantrayaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar—a great revolutionary, politician, poet and seer who tried to free India from the British yoke!
British policy was to torture and persecute the political prisoners/revolutionaries so that they would reveal the names of all their colleagues or go mad or commit suicide. My Transportation for Life is a firsthand story of the sufferings and humiliation of an inmate of the infamous Cellular Jail of Andamans, the legendary Kala Paani. The physical tortures inside the high walls were made all the more insufferable by the sickening attitude of the men who mattered—the native leaders back home. This is a running commentary on the prevalent political conditions in India and a treatise for students of revolution. It is a burning story of all Tapasvis who were transported to Andaman.SKU: n/a
