India that is Bharat by J Sai Deepak

India that is Bharat by J Sai Deepak

₹500 ₹899

India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European 'colonial consciousness' (or 'coloniality'), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus' expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey.Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as 'toleration', 'secularism' and 'humanism' to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharat's distinctive indigeneity, 'decoloniality' is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.

Mein Kamf by Adolf hitler

Mein Kamf by Adolf hitler

₹200

Alternate cover edition of this book.Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.

The Inferno by Dante Alighieri

The Inferno by Dante Alighieri

₹100

"Thence we came forth to rebehold the stars." In the year 1300, on the night before Good Friday, Dante loses his way in the woods. Standing in front of a mountain, he is surrounded by three beasts-a lion, a leopard, and a she-wolf. Dante cannot escape. He returns to the dark woods, unable to find a straight way, and runs into the ghost of the great Roman poet Virgil. What happens when, led by Virgil, Dante embarks on his journey to Heaven through Hell? The first part of Dante Alighieri's epic poem Divine Comedy, Inferno deftly depicts the narrator's allegorical journey through Hell. Composed spectacularly with rich and vivid imagery, it is considered one of the finest works in the Italian language. ABOUT AUTHOROften considered as the Father of the Italian language, Dante Alighieri is best known for his epic poem the Divine Comedy. Born in 1265 in Florence, Republic of Florence, which is present-day Italy, Dante was an eminent Italian poet, prose writer, political thinker, and philosopher. The Alighieri family was involved in Florentine politics with loyalties towards the political alliance supporting Papacy. Dante was involved in the Guelph-Ghibelline conflict, and in the year 1289, he fought the Battle of Campaldino. He held numerous significant public offices at the time of political unrest but accomplished little as a politician. In the year 1302, Dante was exiled for life. Dante travelled and wrote during his exile. The Divine Comedy was conceived during this period. Divided into three parts-Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, it describes Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. A pre-eminent work of Italian literature, this fourteenth-century classic helped establish the Tuscan language. Some of Dante's other works include Convivio (The Banquet), De Monarchia, Le Rime (The Rhymes), and De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular). Dante died on his way back to Ravenna in the year 1321, aged fifty-six.
