An Entirely New History of INDIA
“Indian History needs to be re-examined and freed from colonial biases and error. Driven by Christian belief in a 6000-year old planet, British scholars, and their Indian hires, post-dated Indian history to fit into erroneous Western conceptions. For their own agendas the manufactures theories such as that of an “”Aryan Invasion”” and dismissed vast evidences, such as the existence of the river Sarasvati, as “”mythical””, even though it was mentioned more than fifty times in the Vedas. The colonial gaze also erroneously represented events such as the invasion of India by Alexander the Great in the year 326 BCE and fabricated myths such as the conversion of emperor Ashoka to Buddhism, purportedly due to “”remorse”” after the terrible battle of Kalinga, when Ashoka already a Buddhist at the time of the battle.
Thus this book rewrites Indian History based on new evidence including new scientific, linguistic and genetic discoveries. It seeks to dismantle the cliches, to clarify the controversies, and to retrace, as accurately as possible, the most significant periods of Indian history—history much older than previously thought”

Bleeding India
“On 15 August every year, PFI cadres dressed in uniforms similar to paramilitary organisations stage a perfectly synchronised march in cities across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The 15th August Parade is also a tactic for hiding their extremist ideology and an attempt to portray themselves as a good, nation loving and law abiding citizen group.” “On the other hand, proselytisation of innocent tribals continued unabated under the sponsorship of the colonial regime.” “It is a joint action plan and well-coordinated effort of all the four (Islamic fundamentalism, Christian evangelicals,Urban naxalism and media -NGO-human rights nexus) which forms the recipe that poses gravest threat, where one helps the other to achieve the Common Minimum Programme i.e. to bleed India” “These elements use finance coming to them in any form, to further their agenda….not bound by national boundaries…” The activities of the PFI, the Rohingyas, the Patthalgadi in Jharkhand, or the proposed Khalistan Referendum; or even the blasts in Sri Lanka may look like disparate events, fuelled and supported by different people for different reasons. But are they? With six case studies of events in our recent history, Author Binay Kumar Singh gives a unique perspective as to how forces inimical to India’s growth and civilisational ethos work in tandem to inflict injury on her. Read the story of how Islamic fundamentalism, Christian evangelism, urban naxals and the media-NGO-human rights nexus have come together in what appears to be a common goal –to make India bleed. Are we paying heed?

Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story
“The book ‘Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story’ is published from ground research material on the Delhi Riots that occurred in February 2020. This material was collected by the authors and their team during their many visits to the riot-affected areas of North East Delhi. The research team met both Hindu and Muslim victims of the violence and religious leaders of both communities who attempted to de- escalate the situation. The book contains eight chapters which narrate the fact and evidence-based story of the dharna-to-danga model, planned and executed by Urban Naxal and Jihadi elements in Delhi. One of the main themes of the book is the destruction of inter-community relations in North East Delhi in the garb of Anti-CAA protests. The book shows us that hatred and violence was ignited between two communities which had been peacefully coexisting for decades, by people with ideologically vested interests. It exposes the plot behind the violence, how it was planned and how the events unfolded. The book contains details on the events of 23rd February 2020 in Jaffrabad which laid the ground for full-fledged communal riots in the area on the next day. It shows how a Genocide was committed in North East Delhi under the cover of women’s empowerment. The book uncovers the Urban-Naxal-Jihadi theories as contained in their own documents and literature. The book must be read because it shows the citizens of this country the ways in which their internal security is being compromised by fanatic ideologies.

पुस्तक दिल्ली दंगे 2020 – एक अनकही कहानी, फरवरी 2020 में दिल्ली में हुए दंगों पर शोध आधारित तथ्यात्मक सामग्री है। इस सामग्री को लेखकों और उनकी टीम द्वारा तब एकत्र किया गया जब वह उत्तर पूर्व दिल्ली के दंगा प्रभावित क्षेत्रो में बात करने गईं और उन लोगों ने दंगा पीड़ित परिवारों से बातचीत की। जो शोधकर्ता टीम थी उसने हिन्दू और मुस्लिम दोनों ही प्रभावित पक्षों से बात की और इसके साथ ही वह लोग दोनों ही समुदायों के उन सभी धार्मिक नेताओं से मिले जिन्होनें स्थिति को संतुलित करने और हालातों को सम्भालने की कोशिश की। इस पुस्तक में आठ अध्याय हैं जो धरना से दंगा मॉडल तक की प्रमाण और तथ्य आधारित कहानी को बताते हैं, जिनकी योजना दिल्ली में बैठे अर्बन नक्सल और जिहादी तत्वों ने बनाई और फिर उसे लागू किया। इस पुस्तक की मुख्य थीम में से एक थीम है नागरिकता संशोधन क़ानून के खिलाफ चल रहे प्रदर्शनों की आड़ में उत्तर पूर्वी दिल्ली का सुलग उठना और समुदायों के बीच जो सौहार्द था उसे खत्म करना। यह पुस्तक हमें उस नफरत और हिंसा की झलक दिखाती है जो दो समुदायों के बीच भड़की और जिसने दशकों से चले आ रहे आपसी भाई चारे और सौहार्द के रिश्तों को जलाकर राख कर दिया। यह पुस्तक हिंसा के पीछे के प्लाट को बताती है, कि इसकी कैसे योजना बनाई गई और कैसे एक एक कर घटनाएँ हुईं। इस पुस्तक में जाफराबाद में 23 फरवरी 2020 को हुई की घटनाओं का वर्णन है जिसने अगले दिन इस इलाके में दंगों की भूमिका तैयार कर दी थी। यह दिखाती है कि कैसे उत्तर पूर्व दिल्ली में महिला सशक्तिकरण की आड़ में नरसंहार की योजना बनाई गयी थी। यह पुस्तक अर्बन-नक्सल-जिहादी गठजोड़ के सिद्धांतों को बताती है जो उनके खुद के दस्तावेज और साहित्य में दिया गया है। इस पुस्तक को इसलिए भी अवश्य पढ़ा जाना चाहिए क्योंकि यह इस देश के नागरिकों को यह भी दिखाती है कि कैसे उनकी आतंरिक सुरक्षा को कट्टरपंथी विचारधाराओं द्वारा रोज़ चुनौती दी जा रही है, कैसे यह कट्टर विचारधाराएं उनकी सुरक्षा के लिए खतरा बन गईं हैं।

Ek Kafir Mera Padosi
Fiction Books, Garuda Prakashan, Literature & Fiction, ऐतिहासिक उपन्यास, ऐतिहासिक नगर व सभ्यताEk Kafir Mera Padosi
कश्मीर आज इस धरती पर सबसे ज्यादा कट्टरपंथी क्षेत्र है। मगर धार्मिक अत्याचारों और हिंसा के ज्ञात लघु इतिहास से परे भी एक इतिहास है जहाँ पर इसके मूल निवासियों ने लगातार धार्मिक अत्याचारों का विरोध किया और अपने धर्म को बनाए रखने के लिए बार बार संघर्ष किया।
इस कहानी को एक ऐसे मनोवैज्ञानिक द्वारा संवेदना के तंतुओं के साथ बुना गया है जिन्होनें कश्मीर के दर्द को अपने काम के हिस्से के रूप में महसूस किया है। यह एक ऐसी प्रेरक कहानी है जो तीन युवाओं के इर्दगिर्द घूमती है, जो हैं आदित्य, एक हिन्दू कश्मीरी पुजारी, जो अपने लोगों के लिए न्याय खोज रहा है, अनवर जो उसका पड़ोसी और एक इमाम का बेटा है, जो एक इस्लामिक कश्मीर बनाने के लिए हर कदम उठाने के लिए तैयार है और जेबा जो अपने प्यार एवं मजहब के बीच फंसी है।
बगल में काफिर हर उस व्यक्ति के लिए शक्तिशाली कहानी है जो एक गहरे अन्धकार के बाद अपनी एक पहचान की तलाश में और पहली बार कोई किताब हिंदुत्व के बहुलतावाद एवं इस्लाम के एकेश्वरवाद के बीच के संघर्ष को इतनी गहराई बताती है तथा यह पहली ऐसी किताब है जो मानवीय भाव की क्षमा एवं पश्चाताप को बताती है।SKU: n/a -

Had Sardar Patel Been The First Prime Minister
Garuda Prakashan, ऐतिहासिक उपन्यास, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्रHad Sardar Patel Been The First Prime Minister
When a nation begins to pine for a person from its past, wishing he remained at the helm for longer, it indicates that the path taken by that nation is not the correct one. With Sardar Patel, especially vis-a-vis Nehru, the Indian nation still mourns the fact that the former did not become the first Prime Minister of India. This book, written by Justice (retd.) S N Aggarwal, author of “Nehru’s Himalayan Blunders”, establishes the real reasons why we still pine for Patel’s longer presence at the horizon of our national leadership. The book, quoting from authentic sources, also gives ample insight into the views and understanding of the affairs of the nation, which Sardar not only preached but also practiced. Usually, Sardar Patel, the “Iron Man” that he was, is lauded for his role in the unification of post-independent India. With Nehru botching up the only princely state he handled – namely, Jammu and Kashmir – Patel’s contribution in unifying more than 500 princely states in the Indian union becomes all the more laudable. However, this book goes beyond. “Had Sardar Patel been the first Prime Minister, the country would have been fully armed to defend herself, there could have been no danger from outside. By following the principles of patriotism, moral values and high character and discipline, there would have been no internal problem,” writes the author. And, like the case of Kashmir, in these matters too, Nehru’s conduct makes one wish all the more strongly that Sardar should have been the first Prime Minister of India.

Kasheer: A Diabolical Betrayal of Kashmiri Hindus
Garuda Prakashan, Literature & Fiction, ऐतिहासिक उपन्यासKasheer: A Diabolical Betrayal of Kashmiri Hindus
Thus comes the plainitive cry of Kailash Pandit. The reporting on Kashmir has whitewashed the human tragedy of Kashmiri Hindus. This book retells the tale in a fictionalized account which is all too real. It catches the facts of deception, betrayal, propaganda and political ambitions that have all but erased the memories of oppression of Kashmiri Hindus from the nation’s conscience. It extricates the truth of human tragedy and presents it with brutal honesty. Thus, Kailash Pandit’s question, trapped in his head, or Aarti Kaul’s unconceived womb become powerful metaphors of what happened to Kashmiri Hindus. It is time for Kailash Pandit to speak; this is his story. This is Kashmir’s story. This is Kasheer.
Originally written in Kannada, this book is translated into English by Hemanth Shanthigrama, who is a London-based technology professional.

Sardar Patel: The Supreme Architrect In Unification of India (Volume 1)
Garuda Prakashan, Literature & Fiction, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्रSardar Patel: The Supreme Architrect In Unification of India (Volume 1)
India’s independence from the British on August 15, 1947, was preceded by its partition on religious lines having a murky history of dangerous antics and shenanigans of the likes of Muslim League, Jinnah and others; supported, either by accident or design, by Congress and its leadership. That Nehru failed miserably to control the situation, in which there was bloodshed, communal hatred, brutalization of women and loss of India’s territory, is a well-known story. The question is what would have been the status of India’s political borders had, say, Nehru been in charge of ‘unifying’ India – that is bringing together more than 500 princely states within the Indian union? We could well have been left to wishful thinking – “Had Sardar been the in-charge of the department handling unification of princely states within the Indian union”. This book, a well-researched document, takes the reader step-by-step on how Sardar went after the task; and how diligently he completed them. Of course, the story of Hyderabad and Junagarh is slightly more well-known. But do you know how Chhattisgarh and Orissa (now Odisha), or even Lunavada (in Gujarat), Deccan States and so many others were included in the Indian union? Do we today ever realise that these states were ‘not part of independent India’? That is why we say it is not only a book for history enthusiasts but all students, who ought to know the real political map of our country when it became independent.

Garuda Prakashan, इतिहास और संस्कृति, ऐतिहासिक उपन्यास, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्रSardar Patel: The Supreme Architrect In Unification of India (Volume 2)
How many of us really know how the issues related to North-Eastern states were handled? Or, for that matter, what was Privy Purse for the princely states? Why Sardar was worried that they were attempts not to grant them Constitutional status (Indira Gandhi got it abolished in the early 1970s)? Further, this book sheds special light on how the Hyderabad episode was handled. Coming from a former Judge, also the author of “Nehru’s Himalayan Blunders”, the book provides to-the-point arguments based on official documents, a large number of which have been quoted verbatim. For those who wanted to know anything about the humongous effort of Sardar in unifying India, be it a student or a researcher or just anyone wanting to more about one’s own country, this book is a real eye-opener. We all know that India has existed thousands and thousands of years before 1947. But, had Sardar been the king of yesteryears, he could well have been known as the ‘chakravartin’, who brought entire India under one umbrella – that is the Indian union. Read this book know how he achieved that feat – democratically.

Garuda Prakashan, राजनीति, पत्रकारिता और समाजशास्त्र, सही आख्यान (True narrative)Unbreaking India: Decision on Article 370 and the CAA
The nullification of Article 370 and enactment of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, had been landmark legislative actions in 2019. Author Sanjay Dixit delves deep into the past and traces the events, actions and their repercussions that finally led to the Union of India introducing these two measures. He looks at these events from all perspectives-historical, social and political. For Article 370, he traces the entire history of Kashmir from its pre-Islamic past and to the events that unfolded at the time of the Partition of India, leading to the initial inclusion of Article 370 in the Constitution of India. Dixit also studies in detail the legal and constitutional labyrinths, discussing the various Presidential Orders and case laws from the Constitutional Bench jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. For CAA, Dixit traces the constitutional history of India from the time of the partition of Bengal in 1905 to the unfortunate events of the Partition in 1947. His study relies heavily on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s analysis of the reasons for the Partition and the theology of a ‘separate nation’ that prevailed during the period. The author contends that this same theology has been staging a comeback now in the form of mazhabi pehchan which forms the crux of the anti-CAA protests. The informed position of the author, his lucidity of language and directness of approach lend clarity to his arguments and make this an accessible and important read.
