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…

Nehru Banam Subhash
सुभाष को यकीन था कि वे और जवाहरलाल साथ मिलकर इतिहास बना सकते हैं, मगर जवाहरलाल अपना भविष्य गांधी के बगैर नहीं देख पा रहे थे।
यही इन दोनों के संबंधों के द्वंद्व का सीमा-बिंदु था।
एक व्यक्ति, जिसके लिए भारत की आजादी से अधिक और कुछ मायने नहीं रखता था और दूसरा, जिसने अपने देश की आजादी को अपने हृदय में सँजोए रखा, मगर इसके लिए अपने पराक्रमपूर्ण प्रयास को अन्य चीजों से भी संबंधित रखा और कभी-कभी तो द्वंद्व-युक्त निष्ठा से भी।
सुभाष और जवाहरलाल की मित्रता में लक्ष्यों की प्रतिद्वंद्विता की इस दरार ने एक तनाव उत्पन्न कर दिया और उनके जीवन का कभी भी मिलन न हो सका।SKU: n/a -

Subhash Chandra Bose Ki Adhoori Atmkatha
सुभाषचंद्र बोस की ‘भारत की खोज’; जवाहरलाल नेहरू की तुलना में उनके जीवन में काफी पहले ही हो गई; यानी उन दिनों वे अपनी किशोरावस्था में ही थे। वर्ष 1912 में पंद्रह वर्षीय सुभाष ने अपनी माँ से पूछा था; ‘स्वार्थ के इस युग में भारत माता के कितने निस्स्वार्थ सपूत हैं; जो अपने निजी स्वार्थ को त्याग कर इस आंदोलन में हिस्सा ले सकते हैं? माँ; क्या तुम्हारा यह बेटा अभी तैयार है?’’ 1921 में भारतीय सिविल सेवा से त्यागपत्र देकर वह आजादी की लड़ाई में कूदने ही वाले थे कि उन्होंने अपने बड़े भाई शरत को पत्र लिखा; ‘‘केवल बलिदान और कष्ट की भूमि पर ही हम अपने राष्ट्र का निर्माण कर सकते हैं।’’ दिसंबर 1937 में बोस ने अपनी आत्मकथा के दस अध्याय लिखे; जिसमें 1921 तक की अपनी जीवन का वर्णन किया था और ‘माई फेथ-फिलॉसोफिकल’ शीर्षक का एक चिंतनशील अध्याय भी था। सदैव ऐसा नहीं होता कि जीवन के बाद के समय में लिखे संस्मरणों को शुरुआती; बचपन के दिनों की प्राथमिक स्रोत की सामग्री के साथ पढ़ा जाए।
बोस के बचपन; किशोरावस्था व युवावस्था के दिनों के सत्तर पत्रों का एक आकर्षक संग्रह इस आत्मकथा को समृद्ध बनाता है। इस प्रकार यह ऐसी सामग्री उपलब्ध कराता है; जिसकी सहायता से उन धार्मिक; सांस्कृतिक; नैतिक; बौद्धिक तथा राजनीतिक प्रभावों का अध्ययन किया जा सकता है; जिनसे भारत के इस सर्वप्रथम क्रांतिधर्मी राष्ट्रवादी के चरित्र और व्यक्तित्व का निर्माण हुआ।SKU: n/a -
Prabhat Prakashan, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)
The Indian War Of Independence 1857 (PB)
Veer Savarkar was the first man who called the mutiny of 1857 ‘A War of Independence’. Until his time, no Indian had dared to say so. The martyrs of 1857 are really fortunate that they got such a historian to tell their history who himself was both a historian and a creator of history. At times, we visualise Veer Savarkar coloured in the red colour of that revolution, as if he himself was present on the battlefield and participated in the heroic war. At other times, we see him patiently analyse the strengths and weaknesses of both sides—why the mutineers lost and why the British won. The way he analyses the politico-military aspects of the revolution shows his wisdom as a youth of 26 years.
The Indian War of Independence, 1857, is a step by step account of the uprising of Indian Hindus and Muslims against the ruthless British rulers. Tracing footsteps of the barefooted, undernourished and almost unarmed Indian masses challenging the British bullets by the sheer force of their will power, the author establishes beyond an iota of doubt that the uprising was a War of Independence and not a mere Sepoy Mutiny as dubbed by the British.
Some glaring truths about this book:
• This book became the Bible for Indian revolutionaries.
• The book was proscribed by the British Government before its publication.
• The book was smuggled into India and England after it was published in Holland.
• The demand for this book was so enormous that it used to be sold and resold at the stupendous price of Rs. 300 (in 1910).SKU: n/a -

Six Glorious Epochs Of Indian History(PB)
Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History is a learning experience which covers the period of Muslim invasions in India and brave retaliation by the natives. No less was the struggle of Indian manes against British rule and for freedom and liberation of the mother country. The author’s tribute to the martyrs and his letters to dear ones from Andamans, miscellaneous statements and writings are also included in this book. The first four epochs are covered in only hundred plus pages while the last two epochs span almost four hundred plus pages, signifying the importance that the author gave to this period.
So far we have been given the picture of British rule, the history and politics in India by foreign and leftist writers, but in this book Veer Savarkar makes us look at the country’s history and politics from the Bharatiya perspective. Not only does he analyse the mistakes committed by Hindus since the time of Alexander’s invasion till the British rule, he tries to enlighten our minds with the prevalent situation in his time. All that he himself learnt from history, he tries to correct through this book of his.SKU: n/a
