Manusmriti is an ancient work on jurisprudence. Unfortunately, some misunderstandings and misconceptions are prevailing about Manu and his Manusmriti.Dr. Surendra Kumar ji an eminent Samskrita scholar has quoted many internal evidences from this book to prove that all these claims have no ground. They are false and malicious.He examined each and every Shlokas to detect the genuine from the interpolated ones. He has given convincing and logical proofs why such and such Shlokas are later additions to the body of the Manusmriti.An English translation of this book from the Ärsha Vedic point of view was not available. Arya UpadeshakaShri Pt. SatyapraksahBeegoo ji from Mauritius, voluntarily agreed to translate this into English, enhancing its value with transliteration of every Shloka, and providing the meaning of all the Samskrita words.

The Many Loves of Rama The Selfless Monarch
-15%English Books, Garuda Prakashan, इतिहास, रामायण/रामकथाThe Many Loves of Rama The Selfless Monarch
For an ordinary human being, the events dotting the life journey of Bhagwan Rama had enough to make him resentful, angry, jealous and full of ego. Yet he was none of this. Bhagwan Rama radiated love to all, including his worst enemies—and is loved by us all even today.
But still, we question some of his decisions as Maryada Purushottma: Why did he kill Vali from behind? Why did he mock Suparnakha? Why did he condemn Jatayu (initially)? Why did he look on silently when Mata Sita decided to undego Agnipareeksha? Why, despite seeing Sita clear the ‘fire-test’, did he pay heed to the washerman and exile his pregnant wife to the forest?
The Many Loves of Rama by Meera Prakash provides multi-level answers to these complex questions that confound us.
The book explores the options Bhagwan Rama had, both as an ordinary human being and as an incarnation. Can he be ‘sbolved’? The book also looks at the roles and significance of the people present around Bhagwan Rama, who helped the cause of the Visnu-incarnate in their own myriad ways. From his three brothers, mothers, Hanuman, Sugreeva, to Vibhishana, and many others—Rama always had people helping him because they loved him. And he loved them all.

-10%English Books, Vitasta Publishing, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)THE SIACHEN SOLDIER AND OTHER STORIES
In today’s troubles lie the seeds of tomorrow’s stories. Air Commodore Nitin Sathe, drawing from his extensive service in the Indian Air Force, reflects on how the trials, triumphs, and moments of joy that once consumed him have now become the raw material for his narratives. His stories vividly portray life in the armed forces – from the thrill of combat to the rigours of training, the turmoil of warfare, the solitude of distant outposts, and the joy of leisure. Meanwhile, Dr Suneet Madan skillfully weaves her poetic magic around the central theme of each narrative, creating a unique and thoughtful read. These narratives, told with lightness and brevity, provide an intimate glimpse into the fauji life and will linger in your thoughts long after you’ve turned the last page. They serve as motivation or inspiration in those moments when you think all isn’t well with life.

The Truth About Caste
‘Caste’ has been a burning issue in Bharat’s social and political discourse for more than a century, but no serious attempt has been made to know about its use and misuse by academia and politicians—rather they have deliberately hidden the truth from us for their selfish interests.
The Truth About Caste is a serious attempt to expose the designs of all those who put all blame on caste for all the evil existing in Bharat today.

The Ultimate Goal
In The Ultimate Goal, Vikram Sood, former chief of Indias external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RandAW), explains the narrative and how a countrys ability to construct, sustain and control narratives, at home and abroad, enhances its strength and position. Intelligence agencies invariably play a critical role in this, an often-indispensable tool of statecraft. A narrative may not necessarily be based on truth, but it does need to be plausible, have a meaning and create a desired perception. During most of the twentieth century, intelligence agencies helped shape narratives favourable to their countries agendas through literature, history, drama, art, music and cinema. Today, social media has become crucial to manipulating, countering or disrupting narratives, with its ability to spread fake news disinformation, and provoke reactions.

The Walking Brahmin
In 1857, Vishnubhat Godse and his uncle Rambhat, unwittingly walked smack in the middle of The First War of Indian Independence. Having the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the duo were caught in the crossfire between the loyalist Indian troops and the British. They witnessed the fall of Jhansi first hand, survived the aftermath of British savagery, were robbed of all their belongings multiple times, and even managed to avoid getting hanged. Twice. Being on the road for two years, they finally returned to Varsai village, near Pen, Maharashtra. Back home, Vishnubhat penned down his adventure for his descendants which was eventually published as a Marathi book in 1907.

Abrahamic religions (अब्राहमिक मजहब), English Books, Suggested Books, Voice of India, जीवनी/आत्मकथा/संस्मरण, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Understanding Islam through Hadis
The book is a thorough study of Islam, doctrinal and creedal materials, besides its social, penal, commercial, ritualistic, and ceremonial matters.; Ram Swarup (1919-1998) graduated from the University of Delhi in 1941 and had been an original writer and thinker ever since. He participated in his country’s struggle for independence, courting imprisonment. For some years, he was a close associate of British-born Mira Behn (Miss Slade), Mahatma Gandhi’s adopted daughter. In the fifties, he led a movement warning against the growing danger which international communism presented to the newly won freedom of the country. Around 1957, he took to a life of meditation and spiritual reflection, and since then he had made a deep study of the scriptures of different religious traditions. Ram Swarup was a noted writer in many fields. His previous books and brochures include Communism and Peasantry: Implications of Collectivist Agriculture of Asian Countries, Foundations of Maoism, and Buddhism vis-a-vis Hinduism. His Gandhism and Communism stressed the need to raise the struggle against communism from a military to a moral and ideological level. The brochure caught the attention of several US Congressmen, and some of its ideas were adopted by the Eisenhower administration in its agenda for the Geneva Conference in 1955. His Gandhian Economics, small but seminal, shows that the present industrial production system suffers from circularity, a deep internal technological contradiction-coal, and iron, and a hundred other commodities symbolized by them, producing and consuming one another in a crescendo, round and round. His magnum opus, The Word As Revelation: Names of Gods, is on Linguistics, Philosophy, Vedic exegesis, and Yoga. It shows how a religion of `many Gods’ represents authentic spirituality.

Unmasking Kashmir: A Bureaucrat Reveals (HB)
“The way Jammu and Kashmir has been suffering for over past six decades makes one think if there is really a curse on this ‘Paradise on Earth’. J&K’s economy is centred on horticulture, handicrafts, and tourism. But corruption and misrule have spoilt the atmosphere so much that the people feel perpetually alienated from their government. This book presents a ring-side view of the reality of Kashmiri politicians, bureaucrats and the public as never seen before. Sonali Kumar, a starry-eyed young woman, joined the IAS in 1979 to make a difference to India. She chose to come to the State of Jammu and Kashmir where she spent 37 years trying to understand its people, solve their problems and focus on development. What she found there was disturbing – an apartheid regime where the humanity is divided between insiders and outsiders, where outsiders nearly become second class citizens…. She tried to make the administrative system ‘people-friendly’ but soon became a victim herself. Little did she know that her quest for development in Kashmir will become a fight against corruption, nepotism, gender bias, communalism and anti-nationalism – all mixed together. She doesn’t realise that the vested interests she had hurt, will soon hit her back, and may even cost her career, house, perks and even her happiness. Will she succeed? Or will she fail? The book will prove useful both in understanding what the bureaucrats, especially in the IAS, do in J&K and in helping frame some national policies for dealing with the administrative set-up as well as the political problems in the State.”

Unveiling Ajit Singh’s Sanskrit Biography
Unveiling Ajit Singh’s Sanskrit Biography
There are facts that bear out the truth of the assertion that the ancient Indians did have a distinct historical consciousness with an independent view of history and that this view had little in common with the historical values of the Occident. In Rajasthan, probably from the 16th century onwards, a series of chronicles and epics were written on various dynasties. The Ajitodaya-mahakavyam of Pandit Jagajjivana Bhatta, then emerges as an important link in this very remote and unbroken chain of Ancient Indian Historiography. Avowedly, a historical epic of the 18th century on Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar, this 32-canto work is very useful as a corroboratory Sanskrit source of the History of Marwar in particular and Rajasthan in general. The present study for the first time investigates, analyzes and discusses quite perceptively the diverse aesthetic elements and politico-historical phenomena weaved in contemporary poetic medium.
