1965 Bharat-Pak Yuddha Ki Anakahi Kahani
1965 भारत-पाक युद्ध की अनकही कहानी
1965 का युद्ध वर्ष 1947 में हुए विभाजन के बाद भारत और पाकिस्तान के बीच पहला पूर्ण युद्ध था।
भारत के तत्कालीन रक्षा मंत्री वाई.बी. चह्वाण ने 22 दिन तक चले इस युद्ध का विवरण स्वयं अपनी डायरी में दर्ज किया था। इस पुस्तक में बताई गई अंदरूनी बातों से पता चलता है—
• पाकिस्तानी हमले के समय का पता करने में भारत का खुफिया विभाग बिलकुल विफल रहा।
• कैसे और क्यों चह्वाण ने प्रधानमंत्री को सूचित किए बिना ही वायुसेना को हमला करने का आदेश दे दिया।
• कैसे एक डिवीजन कमांडर को अभियान से अलग कर दिया गया।SKU: n/a -

1984: Dilli Mein Sikhon Par Huye Hamlon Ki Real Story
संजय सूरी नई दिल्ली में ‘द इंडियन एक्सप्रेस’ अखबार के एक युवा क्राइम रिपोर्टर थे, जब 31 अक्तूबर, 1984 को प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी की उनके अंगरक्षकों ने हत्या कर दी थी। वह उन चुनिंदा पत्रकारों में शामिल थे, जिन्होंने उसके बाद हुई उस भयंकर और बेकाबू सिख-विरोधी हिंसा को देखा था, जबकि पुलिस ने आँखें बंद कर ली थीं।
उन्होंने देखा था, कैसे कांग्रेस के कार्यकर्ता लूट के आरोप में गिरफ्तार एक कांग्रेसी सांसद को रिहा करने की माँग कर रहे थे। रिपोर्टिंग के दौरान वह हत्यारों के गैंग से बाल-बाल बच गए थे। बाद में उन्होंने हलफनामा दायर किया, जिसमें कांग्रेस के दो सांसदों से संबंधित उनकी आँखोंदेखी गवाही शामिल थी, और एक चुनावी रैली में उन्होंने पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री राजीव गांधी से सीधा सवाल किया था। नरसंहार की जाँच के लिए गठित कई जाँच आयोगों के सामने भी सूरी ने गवाही दी, हालाँकि उनका कोई ठोस नतीजा नहीं निकला।
इस पुस्तक में वह अपने अनुभवों और उस समय अग्रिम मोर्चे पर हिंसा का सामना करनेवाले पुलिस अधिकारियों के व्यापक साक्षात्कारों से हुए ताजा खुलासों का खजाना लेकर आए हैं। सिख विरोधी हिंसा और क्रूरता के पीछे कांग्रेस का हाथ होने के सवाल की यह गहरी छानबीन करती है कि क्यों तीस साल बाद भी जीवित बचे लोगों को न्याय की प्रतीक्षा करनी पड़ रही है। यह पुस्तक झकझोर देनेवाली घटनाओं का वर्णन विशिष्ट रिपोर्ताज और मर्मस्पर्शी कहानियों को जोड़कर करती है, जो आज भी हमें उतनी ही पीड़ा और वेदना का अनुभव कराती हैं।”

2G Bomb: RTIS Shook North Block
The C&AG report tells that the 2G spectrum scam cost the country approximately Rs 1,76,645 crores. The amount involved in 2G spectrum scam is so huge that one cannot imagine that this scam did materialize without the involvement of the top political masters. How come nobody in the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Finance could sniff the ‘dirty spectrum air’?
Briefly, it is pointed out that the 2G Spectrum scam infact started due to unlawful changes in Terms of References (ToR) for vacation and reallocation of spectrum from Defence and related organisations. Earlier, only the defence was enjoying the exclusive rights to use the 2G spectrum technology. The draft ToR for GoM included the pricing of spectrum. But after the discussion (as per documents supplied under RTI) between Sh Dayanidhi Maran and Prime Minister, the original ToR were modified, which were finally approved. These final ToR (proposed by Telecom Minister) had no sign of pricing of spectrum. This was the beginning of 2G Scam. Later on, no auction of spectrum licences was done and the licences were alloted at the prices of 2001 in 2008, which shocked the country due to this one of the biggest scam so far. This book is an outcome of the PMO’s and other responses from ministries to various applications filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act on the 2G spectrum. Though the response is not very warm, yet the Prime Minister’s Office sent the controversial ‘Office Memorandum’ of March 25, 2011 prepared by the Ministry of Finance, which they had sent to the PMO, alongwith many other important documents. This note, which shook the North and South Blocks, is quite an eye-opener. The book, based on the documents received in response to RTIs filed by Vivek Garg, is an attempt to bring the 2G spectrum scam in public domain. He is an advocate and veteran in RTI activism who has been fighting for long to expose corruption at high places. Now, the 2G spectrum scam, the Commonwealth Games 2010 scam, crude oil scam, the rotten grain scam, bunch of various scams in UP and politics of riots in various states, figure…

“हाल के दिनों में गल्फ ऑफ खंभात (गुजरात) की गहराइयों में बत्तीस हजार साल पुराने हिमयुग में नगर होने के साक्ष्य मिले हैं। संसार में अबतक मिली नगरीय सभ्यताओं में यह सबसे पुराना नगर होने का अनुमान है। वैज्ञानिकों-पुरातत्त्ववेत्ताओं के नवीन शोध और खोज को केंद्र में रखकर महायुग उपन्यास-त्रयी लिखा गया है। ‘32000 साल पहले तीन उपन्यासों की शृंखला का पहला उपन्यास है।
उन दिनों संसार में सांस्कृतिक विकास के साथ कई नवीन प्रयोग हुए। संसार में पहली बार देह ढकने से लेकर, तेल का दीया जलाने, दूध का सेवन करने, बाँसुरी बजाने, नृत्य करने, गीत गाने, कथा वाचन आदि शुरू हुए। इन्हीं लोगों ने पहली बार नौका, हिमवाहन और चक्के के साथ विविध अस्त्रों का निर्माण किया। पहली बार मनुष्य के ओठों ने खाने और बोलने के आलावा प्रेम करना सीखा। खुले सेक्स की अवधारणा के साथ पहले परिवार की परिकल्पना भी शुरू हुई। कुछ अज्ञात-प्राकृतिक संघर्ष के कारण वहाँ प्रार्थना की शुरुआत हुई।
परग्रहियों ने होमो सेपियंस के डी.एन.ए. का पुनर्लेखन किया। कुछ वैज्ञानिकों और पुरातत्त्ववेत्ताओं ने समुद्र की गहराइयों से जीरो पॉइंट फील्ड में संरक्षित ध्वनियों को संगृहीत कर उसे फिल्टर किया। कड़ी मेहनत के बाद उनकी भाषा को डिकोड किया गया और उसे इंडस अल्ट्रा कंप्यूटर पर चित्रित किया गया। उनकी आवाजों से ही बत्तीस हजार साल पहले की पूरी कहानी सामने आई।”

A History of Kashmir
Parvz Dewan can send you to sleep about Kashmr. If anyone has the Ultimate Dossier on this region, it is he, after years of running about India’s northernmost state, administering and adventuring his way around its valleys, peaks and rivers. Along the way he discovered that Kashmr’s ancient tradition of fine miniature painting had continued unbroken till the early twentieth century. He also trekked with the chief of a tribe of shepherds to discover an ancient cave temple. Above all, Parvez immersed himself in the Valley’s legendary Kashmriyat (Kashmriness). In this first-of-its-kind three-volume set on Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh, one on each region, Parvez Dewan has tried to bring alive the past of the fabled land that has been the arena of his adult life: an up-to-date yet timeless history of the magical trinity of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh that crowns the sub-continent of India.
