Prabhat Prakashan, अन्य कथा साहित्य, कहानियां, जीवनी/आत्मकथा/संस्मरण, प्रेरणादायी पुस्तकें (Motivational books)The Life and Times of Chandrashekhar Azad
Chandrashekhar Azad’s short and chequered life of a revolutionary is remembered in the annals of the history of India’s freedom struggle not merely for his indomitability in the face of odds, but for the human values he cherished. In today’s world, with the edifice of every conceivable value crumbling all around us, Azad’s life offers a paradigm for the redemption of a generation resigned to shallow ideals. Adversity came a dime a dozen to this village youth born to poor parents rich in morality and humaneness. It’s the roots that determine the actions of a person and actions, his destiny. At a time when we seem to be taking our freedom for granted, Azad’s biography is a reminder of the blood and toil that went into securing it. The road to preservation of freedom must be hemmed with respect for what we have, for being fortunate to be able to breathe in free air. The crucial caveat embedded in Azad’s biography is that we face a far greater threat from the enemies within than from enemies without.

The Life and Times of Subhash Chandra Bose
Give me blood and I’ll give you freedom’, declared Subhash Chandra Bose. This was exactly what he believed in. The moderate ways of the Congress were not for him. Therefore, he formed the Azad Hind Fauj to overthrow the British. Burning with patriotic zeal, he tried his best to oust the British from his motherland. He was respectfully addressed as ‘Netaji’ and he dedicated his entire life for the freedom of his country.
The annals of history have not done justice to this great patriot. It is time that he should be known by the people of India and given his due recognition.
This book attempts to bring his life into spotlight and illuminate it so that the reader is conversant with it and appreciates his efforts.SKU: n/a -

Vinayak Damodar Sarvarkar popularly known as Veer Sarvarkar has a unique place in the annals of history. Controversy surrounds his name. Some consider him to be one of the greatest revolutionaries in the freedom struggle of India while others think of him to be a communalist.

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.

The Sarasvati Civilisation
Who were the Harappans? How are they related to present-day Indians? Was there never an “Aryan Invasion”? The Sarasvati Civilization: A New Paradigm in Ancient Indian History brings together evidence from satellite imagery, geology, hydrodynamics, archaeology, epigraphy, textual hermeneutics, and DNA research to place together ancient Indian history in the light of new discoveries and facts which were simply not available to colonial historians of the 19th century and have been overlooked thereafter. At the heart of the ancient Indian Civilization was the mighty Sarasvati river which was in full flow 5000-6000 years ago. 60–80 % of the so-called Indus Valley Civilisation sites which have been discovered are not on the banks of the Indus but on the course of the Sarasvati. The drying-out of the river is the most significant factor in the history and migrations of the ancient Indians. With new evidence, the time has come for a significant paradigm shift in Indology. This book breaks new ground to lay the foundation for an authentic Indian history.

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.
