India that is Bharat (English)
About the Book: India, That is Bharat
India, That Is Bharat, the first book of a comprehensive trilogy, explores the influence of European colonial consciousness (or coloniality), in particular its religious and racial roots, on Bharat as the successor state to the Indic civilisation and the origins of the Indian Constitution. It lays the foundation for its sequels by covering the period between the Age of Discovery, marked by Christopher Columbus expedition in 1492, and the reshaping of Bharat through a British-made constitution-the Government of India Act of 1919. This includes international developments leading to the founding of the League of Nations by Western powers that tangibly impacted this journey. Further, this work also traces the origins of seemingly universal constructs such as toleration, secularism and humanism to Christian political theology. Their subsequent role in subverting the indigenous Indic consciousness through a secularised and universalised Reformation, that is, constitutionalism, is examined. It also puts forth the concept of Middle Eastern coloniality, which preceded its European variant and allies with it in the context of Bharat to advance their shared antipathy towards the Indic worldview. In order to liberate Bharats distinctive indigeneity, decoloniality is presented as a civilisational imperative in the spheres of nature, religion, culture, history, education, language and, crucially, in the realm of constitutionalism.

Prabhat Prakashan, Suggested Books, इतिहास, सही आख्यान (True narrative)1857 Ka Swatantraya Samar
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
वीर सावरकर रचित ‘1857 का स्वातंत्र्य समर’ विश्व की पहली इतिहास पुस्तक है, जिसे प्रकाशन के पूर्व ही प्रतिबंधित होने का गौरव प्राप्त हुआ। इस पुस्तक को ही यह गौरव प्राप्त है कि सन् 1909 में इसके प्रथम गुप्त संस्करण के प्रकाशन से 1947 में इसके प्रथम खुले प्रकाशन तक के अड़तीस वर्ष लंबे कालखंड में इसके कितने ही गुप्त संस्करण अनेक भाषाओं में छपकर देश-विदेश में वितरित होते रहे। इस पुस्तक को छिपाकर भारत में लाना एक साहसपूर्ण क्रांति-कर्म बन गया। यह देशभक्त क्रांतिकारियों की ‘गीता’ बन गई। इसकी अलभ्य प्रति को कहीं से खोज पाना सौभाग्य माना जाता था। इसकी एक-एक प्रति गुप्त रूप से एक हाथ से दूसरे हाथ होती हुई अनेक अंत:करणों में क्रांति की ज्वाला सुलगा जाती थी।
पुस्तक के लेखन से पूर्व सावरकर के मन में अनेक प्रश्न थे—सन् 1857 का यथार्थ क्या है? क्या वह मात्र एक आकस्मिक सिपाही विद्रोह था? क्या उसके नेता अपने तुच्छ स्वार्थों की रक्षा के लिए अलग-अलग इस विद्रोह में कूद पड़े थे, या वे किसी बड़े लक्ष्य की प्राप्ति के लिए एक सुनियोजित प्रयास था? यदि हाँ, तो उस योजना में किस-किसका मस्तिष्क कार्य कर रहा था? योजना का स्वरूप क्या था? क्या सन् 1857 एक बीता हुआ बंद अध्याय है या भविष्य के लिए प्रेरणादायी जीवंत यात्रा? भारत की भावी पीढ़ियों के लिए 1857 का संदेश क्या है? आदि-आदि। और उन्हीं ज्वलंत प्रश्नों की परिणति है प्रस्तुत ग्रंथ—‘1857 का स्वातंत्र्य समर’! इसमें तत्कालीन संपूर्ण भारत की सामाजिक व राजनीतिक स्थिति के वर्णन के साथ ही हाहाकार मचा देनेवाले रण-तांडव का भी सिलसिलेवार, हृदय-द्रावक व सप्रमाण वर्णन है। प्रत्येक भारतीय हेतु पठनीय व संग्रहणीय, अलभ्य कृति!SKU: n/a -

You Are Born to Blossom
This book is an account of how Dr. Kalam visualizes Information and Communication Technology mining the rural talent. Here, Dr. Kalam presents his dream of schools in India at 2020 as symbiotic nerve centres connecting teachers, students and community; personifying knowledge that exists in the world. He also makes a clarion call to accelerate the process of societal transformation. This would involve raising the standards of governance and safeguarding the sanctity of public institutions. The book uses the metaphor of a tree to describe the process of knowledge bearing fruits of prosperity in the contemporary globalised world where different phases, formative, adult working life, and post-50 experienced senior citizens, call for different kinds of learning. The book refers to a contextual contribution of a large number of Indian scientists and artists and proves that there is no age bar to blossom. He advocates creation of conditions that favour growth of diverse individual talents akin to a garden and calls for a scientific mind-set guided by conscience, consensus and by actions that take our social and moral values into account in building our own systems.

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 -

Bhaktiyog (PB)
निष्कपट भाव से ईश्वर की खोज को ‘भक्तियोग’ कहते हैं। इस खोज का आरंभ, मध्य और अंत प्रेम में होता है। ईश्वर के प्रति एक क्षण की भी प्रेमोन्मत्तता हमारे लिए शाश्वत मुक्ति को देनेवाली होती है। ‘भक्तिसूत्र’ में नारदजी कहते हैं, ‘‘भगवान्् के प्रति उत्कट प्रेम ही भक्ति है। जब मनुष्य इसे प्राप्त कर लेता है, तो सभी उसके प्रेमपात्र बन जाते हैं। वह किसी से घृणा नहीं करता; वह सदा के लिए संतुष्ट हो जाता है। इस प्रेम से किसी काम्य वस्तु की प्राप्ति नहीं हो सकती, क्योंकि जब तक सांसारिक वासनाएँ घर किए रहती हैं, तब तक इस प्रेम का उदय ही नहीं होता। भक्ति कर्म से श्रेष्ठ है और ज्ञान तथा योग से भी उच्च है, क्योंकि इन सबका एक न एक लक्ष्य है ही, पर भक्ति स्वयं ही साध्य और साधन-स्वरूप है।’’
