The Government of India remembered freedom fighters with Samman (Respect) Pension (1980). The Honorable Judges of the Supreme Court commented, "The object of the freedom fighters' pension scheme is not to reward or compensate the sacrifices made in the freedom struggle. The object is to honour and mitigate the sufferings of those who had given their all for the country in the hour of its need." This view was not shared by the Communist led Government of West Bengal (GOWB). The attitude of the GOWB can be seen through the correspondence between freedom fighter Gour Gopal Sarkar and the Office of the Chief Minister. He observed the reticence of the Chief Minister of West Bengal and the preoccupation of the GOWB engaged in anti-Delhi rhetoric and undemocratic activities such as, Gherao, Land seizure, Sunderbans (Mirichjhanpi) massacre and killing of Ananda Marga saints and nuns for spurious reasons. These landmark reasons that have pushed West Bengal back fourth world countries are covered in the book for posterity.According to Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), poverty in eight Indian states exceeded that of the 26 poorest African countries (1997) and West Bengal is the home of the third largest number of poor people in India. OPHI and UNDP define 'poverty as people's experience of deprivation from lack of income, lack of education, lack of basic sanitation and lack of access to nutritive food'. On these measures 80% of the people of West Bengal who live in villages would take the prime position in the able of poorest people in India. The freedom fighters who joined Mahatma Gandhi believed in his conviction, "Poverty is the worst form of Violence". Post-Independence development of India should have brought relief from poverty to all the people. What should be the matter of concern is that new found prosperity of India through globalizations is bypassing the 80% living in villages. Should our gestures of remembering the freedom fighters include the obligation of re-examining Gandhi's contribution to the world as 'People's Economist' and 'Inventor of Intermediate Technology'? Dr. Ernst Friedrich "Fritz" Schumacher is recognized as the most influential economic thinker, statistician and economist in the post-war years. His book; "Small is Beautiful, a study of economics as if people mattered" is regarded as one of the 100 most influential books published since World War II. Schumacher is the greatest advocate of Intermediate/Appropriate Technology. He said, "Gandhi is the greatest People's Economist". Gandhi's invention of the Spinning Wheel is regarded as the first example of Intermediate/Appropriate Technology. Can Appropriate Technology help the left-out citizens of free India to climb out of poverty? In the final chapters I have examined the case of applying Appropriate Technology to address the Wants of the Rural Population with practical Projects. If you feel any debt of gratitude to the freedom fighters and have the skill to apply technology to reshape poor people's experience of deprivation in villages, the projects described in the book may inspire you to identify business opportunities for someone looking towards you to give a kick-start to their lives.Thank you for considering to download my book.

This captivating book sheds light on the remarkable contributions made by Indians in various fields, highlighting their groundbreaking discoveries and extraordinary achievements that preceded those of individuals from any other part of the world. Astonishingly, these individuals have been largely forgotten, overshadowed by the widely celebrated accomplishments of Greek figures. Within its pages, readers will discover a wealth of knowledge about the pioneering endeavors of Indian visionaries who were ahead of their time. While the names of Alexander, Pythagoras, Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton are frequently discussed and praised, it is a curious phenomenon that the equally deserving figures such as Ashoka, Aryabhata, and Brahmacharya remain in the shadows of historical discourse. The book compellingly explores this disparity, offering insights and answers to the questions that naturally arise. Moreover, this book is merely the first installment in a captivating series that promises to delve deeper into the subject matter. With subsequent parts already in the works, readers can anticipate a multitude of future volumes that will further unveil the rich tapestry of Indian contributions throughout history.

The first volume of the definitive biography of Gandhi, one of the most remarkable figures of the 20th century, from the great historian Ramachandra Guha The life of Mohandas Gandhi is one of the most remarkable and potent in the modern era. In this fascinating new biography Ramachandra Guha allows us to understand the personality and politics of Mohandas Gandhi as never before. Showing that Gandhi's ideas were fundamentally shaped before his return to India in 1915, Gandhi Before India is the extraordinarily vivid portrait of the formative years he spent in England and South Africa, where he developed the techniques that would undermine and ultimately destroy the British Empire. Ramachandra Guha depicts a world of sharp contrasts between the coastal culture of Gujarat, High Victorian London and colonial South Africa, where settlers from India, Britain and elsewhere battled for their share of this rich and newly despoiled land. Drawing on many new sources located in archives across four continents, Guha sensitively explores the many facets of Gandhi's life and struggles. This is the biography of the year. Reviews: 'Excellent and exhaustive ... Guha has done heroic work in reconstructing this period of Gandhi's life ... Gandhi emerges here as a fascinatingly complicated and contradictory figure ... if the sequel proves as rich and absorbing as this first book, it will doubtless serve as the fundamental portrait of Gandhi for many years to come' Sunday Business Post 'What can a new biographer add? Gandhi Before India by Ramachandra Guha, India's leading historian, offers plenty ... Rather than lingering on Gandhi's own well-studied words, Mr Guha has unearthed a wealth of previously overlooked school reports, diaries, letters and articles by collaborators and opponents of Gandhi. The result is a striking depiction of his transformation into mid-adulthood ... As Mr Guha ably shows, for all that Gandhi influenced events in South Africa, it was he who experienced the greater change' Economist 'One of the surprises in Gandhi Before India is just how much fresh material it contains. Guha has a gift for tracking down obscure letters and newspaper reports and patching them together to make history come alive ... The book turns up some gems ... Gandhi Before India demonstrates how complicated cross-cultural relations were in the long 19th century ... it is a work of vivid social history as well as biography' Patrick French, Guardian 'Guha is India's best-known historian, who marshals his wide scholarship in contemporary and modern history with a raconteur's lucid felicity' DNA Mumbai 'A spirited case for Gandhi's continued relevance, for the challenges his ideas still present to us' Tehelka, New Delhi 'Guha is one of India's most intelligent and readable historians; and in addition to his considerable talents, he has had the good fortune to discover a treasure trove of Gandhi's own voluminous press cuttings and also many shelf-loads of letters to him from friends and colleagues' Standpoint About the author: Ramachandra Guha is one of India's most influential historians and public intellectuals. His books include A Corner of a Foreign Field and India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy. The Independent has called him 'one of the world's great minds'; Time has said he is 'Indian democracy's pre-eminent chronicler'. He has held visiting professorships at Stanford, Yale, and the London School of Economics. He lives in Bangalore.

It was a court battle between the first Prime Minister of India Jawahar Lal Nehru and Organiser, an English weekly backed by the RSS that led to restrictions on freedom of expression which we are debating today. The RSS had defended the sacred Sikh Shrine ‘Darbar Sahib’ at Amritsar twice when Muslim League led mobs attacked it in 1947. Did you know that one single anti-India and pro-China book ‘India’s China War’ written by Anglo-Australian journalist Neville Maxwell shaped the global narrative against India for more than five decades. It was a Swedish journalist Bertil Lintner who challenged it and turned the tables on Chinese propaganda with his book ‘China’s India War’ but even Indians don’t talk about it. Everyone remembers the 1962 war when India lost to China but there was another war in 1967 on Sikkim border where India took the revenge of 1967 and defeated China. Most of us don’t even know about this great victory! Indians have been made to remember the 1962 defeat and forget the glorious victory of 1967. Many such stories which comprise the forgotten history of India are part of this book. This forgotten history of India has been buried deep down in the dusty archives waiting to be told.

This book presents a comprehensive survey of the Indian Economy in terms of GDP growth, savings, investment and developments in various sectors such as agriculture, industry and services. A contradiction observed in India is that while the reform process has resulted in boosting GDP growth, it has failed to yield acceleration in the process of poverty reduction and growth of employment.
