The Argumentative Hindu: Essays by a Non-Affiliated Orientalist (PB)
About the Book: Argumentative Hindu: Essays by a Non-Affiliated Orientalist The Argumentative Hindu is the person who rejects the imposed”secularist” consensus. The author, Dr. Koenraad Elst, is anon-affiliated Orientalist who sympathizes with this Hindudissenter. But he also made himself some enemies, not only amongthe secularists but also among the very Hindus whose cause hechampions. In this book, he defends himself against their criticismand, more importantly, the late mentors from whom he got his viewof Hinduism and of the challenges to its survival: Ram Swarup andSita Ram Goel. He also makes some new suggestions to his Hindufriends, on how to be more effective and how to remedy existingerrors. Today, illiteracy about Hinduism among Hindus, the limitation oftheir knowledge to a very small part of their heritage, is the mostconsequential weakness in the struggle for survival. Stuntedideological development and an anachronistic worldview are seriousobstacles to be tackled if ever a genuine reaffirmation of Hinducivilization is to win through. This book is a collection of papers written in the last fewyears, to wake up the Hindus to their mistakes as well as to theirpotential.

You Are Born to Blossom
This book is an account of how Dr. Kalam visualizes Information and Communication Technology mining the rural talent. Here, Dr. Kalam presents his dream of schools in India at 2020 as symbiotic nerve centres connecting teachers, students and community; personifying knowledge that exists in the world. He also makes a clarion call to accelerate the process of societal transformation. This would involve raising the standards of governance and safeguarding the sanctity of public institutions. The book uses the metaphor of a tree to describe the process of knowledge bearing fruits of prosperity in the contemporary globalised world where different phases, formative, adult working life, and post-50 experienced senior citizens, call for different kinds of learning. The book refers to a contextual contribution of a large number of Indian scientists and artists and proves that there is no age bar to blossom. He advocates creation of conditions that favour growth of diverse individual talents akin to a garden and calls for a scientific mind-set guided by conscience, consensus and by actions that take our social and moral values into account in building our own systems.

Prabhat Prakashan, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)
The Indian War Of Independence 1857 (PB)
Veer Savarkar was the first man who called the mutiny of 1857 ‘A War of Independence’. Until his time, no Indian had dared to say so. The martyrs of 1857 are really fortunate that they got such a historian to tell their history who himself was both a historian and a creator of history. At times, we visualise Veer Savarkar coloured in the red colour of that revolution, as if he himself was present on the battlefield and participated in the heroic war. At other times, we see him patiently analyse the strengths and weaknesses of both sides—why the mutineers lost and why the British won. The way he analyses the politico-military aspects of the revolution shows his wisdom as a youth of 26 years.
The Indian War of Independence, 1857, is a step by step account of the uprising of Indian Hindus and Muslims against the ruthless British rulers. Tracing footsteps of the barefooted, undernourished and almost unarmed Indian masses challenging the British bullets by the sheer force of their will power, the author establishes beyond an iota of doubt that the uprising was a War of Independence and not a mere Sepoy Mutiny as dubbed by the British.
Some glaring truths about this book:
• This book became the Bible for Indian revolutionaries.
• The book was proscribed by the British Government before its publication.
• The book was smuggled into India and England after it was published in Holland.
• The demand for this book was so enormous that it used to be sold and resold at the stupendous price of Rs. 300 (in 1910).SKU: n/a -

राजयोग-विद्या इस सत्य को प्राप्त करने के लिए, मानव के समक्ष यथार्थ, व्यावहारिक और साधनोपयोगी वैज्ञानिक प्रणाली रखने का प्रस्ताव करती है। पहले तो प्रत्येक विद्या के अनुसंधान और साधन की प्रणाली पृथक्-पृथक् है। यदि तुम खगोलशास्त्री होने की इच्छा करो और बैठे-बैठे केवल ‘खगोलशास्त्र खगोलशास्त्र’ कहकर चिल्लाते रहो, तो तुम कभी खगोलशास्त्र के अधिकारी न हो सकोगे। रसायनशास्त्र के संबंध में भी ऐसा ही है; उसमें भी एक निर्दिष्ट प्रणाली का अनुसरण करना होगा; प्रयोगशाला में जाकर विभिन्न द्रव्यादि लेने होंगे, उनको एकत्र करना होगा, उन्हें उचित अनुपात में मिलाना होगा, फिर उनको लेकर उनकी परीक्षा करनी होगी, तब कहीं तुम रसायनविज्ञ हो सकोगे। यदि तुम खगोलशास्त्रज्ञ होना चाहते हो, तो तुम्हें वेधशाला में जाकर दूरबीन की सहायता से तारों और ग्रहों का पर्यवेक्षण करके उनके विषय में आलोचना करनी होगी, तभी तुम खगोलशास्त्रज्ञ हो सकोगे।
