The great escape — The great escape

₹200

One of the most famous true stories from the last war, The GREAT ESCAPE tells how more than six hundred men in a German prisoner-of-war camp worked together to achieve an extraordinary break-out. Every night for a year they dug tunnels, and those who weren't digging forged passports, drew maps, faked weapons and tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes to wear once they had escaped. All of this was conducted under the very noses of their prison guards. When the right night came, the actual escape itself was timed to the split second - but of course, not everything went according to plan...

The First World War Adventures Of Nariman Karkaria : A Memoir — The First World War Adventures Of Nariman Karkaria : A Memoir

₹300

Nariman Karkaria, a young Parsi from Gujarat, had always wanted to see the world. So he left home as a teenager with fifty rupees in his pocket to do just that. After working in Hong Kong and Peking for a few years, in 1914, when war was in the air, he decided to volunteer for the British Army. Passing through China, Manchuria, Siberia, Russia and Scandinavia, he reached London early in 1915 and managed to register as a private with the 24th Middlesex Regiment. He was now a Tommy.Incredibly, Karkaria saw action on three major fronts in the next three years. In 1916, he was in the trenches at the Battle of the Somme. After convalescing from an injury, he was sent off to the Middle Eastern Front where he fought in the Battle of Jerusalem in 1917. He was then transferred to the Balkan Front in 1918, where he served in Salonika. After being discharged, he returned to India and wrote a book in Gujarati about his years of travel and adventure, which was published in 1922.Karkaria’s war memoir is truly one of a kind. And in Murali Ranganathan’s brilliant translation, this astonishing story comes alive with rare immediacy and vigour.

1946 Royal Indian Navy Mutiny: Last War of Independence — 1946 Royal Indian Navy Mutiny: Last War of Independence

₹398

In 1946, 20,000 non-commissioned sailors of the Royal Indian Navy mutinied. They were inspired by the heroism of the Azad Hind Fauj. But their anger was sparked by terrible service conditions, racism, and broken recruitment promises. In less than 48 hours, 20,000 men took over 78 ships and 21 shore establishments and replaced British flags with the entwined flags of the Congress, the Muslim League, and the communists.The British panicked and announced a Cabinet Mission to discuss modalities of transfer of power. By this time, Indian troops had refused to fire on the ratings, and the mutiny sparked revolts in other branches of the armed forces. The young ratings presented a charter of demands, even as they fought pitched battles against British troops. People thronged the streets in support, and hartals were followed by street fights between civilians and British soldiers resulting in over 400 deaths and 1,500 injured.To quell the rebellion, British commanded their powerful warship HMS Glasgow to sail rapidly from Trincomalee and ordered low sorties by the Royal Air Force fighter planes. In retaliation, the ratings trained the guns mounted on the captured ships towards the shore, threatening to blow Gateway of India, Yacht Club, and the dockyards.As violence escalated, telegrams flew between the Viceroy’s office and the British Cabinet. The British realized they could no longer hold India by force. While the communists continued to support the rebellious ratings, the Congress and the Muslim League persuaded them to surrender, promising they would not be victimized. Shamefully, years later, the governments of India and Pakistan refused to honour those promises after Independence.The mutiny caused public disagreements between Gandhiji and Aruna Asaf Ali, and between Sardar Patel and Nehru. Historians say it accelerated the transfer of power. But this seminal event, which inspired songs, art and theatre has been edited out of the popular narratives of the Freedom Movement.

All you need to do is be aware of the manipulations of your mind. Human mind can be a powerful tool if you know how to use it. With the help of many real-life examples and anecdotes, bestselling author Anand Patkar delves into the intricacies of human mind to illustrate that contrary to popular belief it is possible to rewire your mind to make it work for you. Patkar equates one’s chaotic state of mind to a monkey to explain the havoc it can cause if left unchecked. In the same way, he compares the inborn wisdom we all possess to “Moorti Within”, a God-like quality that unfortunately gets eclipsed when a person is in the grip of a cocktail of emotions. So who’s really in charge of your life? Monkey or Moorti? Read on to know how to regain control of your supreme consciousness to lead a life full of peace and happiness each day. ANAND PATKAR had a life-changing experience in 1980. He discovered lasting peace, happiness and tranquility. Since then, with this transformed perspective, he has been leading his life as a corporate manager and advisor, teacher and trainer, and a family man. He has been working on sharing this experience with as many people as possible. His first book Master the Mind Monkey: Experience Your Excellence was a bestseller. This is his second book.
