"Hew McLeod is generally acknowledged as the world's foremost historian of the Sikhs. This autobiography comprises two parts, both concerned with the author's career in Sikh Studies.

Part I is on features of McLeod's career which have had an important influence on his relationship with the Sikhs and with the manner in which he has sought to give expression to them. Two features have been particularly significant: his view of religion, and his understanding of the nature and value of historical studies.

Part 2 concerns Sikh studies and the attacks that (less)

Gujral (born on 4 December 1919) has penned his life story in as forthright and candid a manner as possible. He entered the political fray as a freedom fighter in the British era and, after the tumultuous events that rocked the Indian subcontinent in the wake of partition in August 1947, crossed over from Pakistan to India, where he had to begin life from scratch.

Despite facing tremendous odds, on the basis of his perseverance, resilience and never-say-die attitude, Gujral achieved a remarkable track record, and, in the process, witnessed the making of modern India. Gujral joined the Congress Party and was first elected to the Rajya Sabha in April 1964 (less)

The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors, that lives on.

The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told.

Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3000 years. Until now, no Asura has dared to tell the tale.
