Thug by Mike Dash Pdf

Never in recorded history has there been a group of murderers as deadly as the Thugs. For nearly two centuries, groups of these lethal criminals haunted the roads of India, slaughtering travellers whom they met along the way with such efficiency that over the years tens of thousands of men, women and children simply vanished without trace. Mike Dash, one of our best popular historians, has devoted years to combing archives in both India and Britain to discover how the Thugs lived and worked. Painstakingly researched and grippingly written, Thug tells, for the first time the full story of the Thugs' rise and fall from the cult's beginnings in the late seventeenth century to its eventual demise at the hands of British East India Company officer William Sleeman in 1840.

Out of India by Caryl Matrisciana Pdf

Born and raised in India, Caryl Matrisciana was surrounded by a strange and mystical religion, seeing firsthand the effects Hinduism had on the people of that nation. After leaving India as a young adult, she became involved in the counter-culture hippie movement, only to find that the elements of Hinduism and the New Age were very much the same. Eventually, Caryl would discover that this same spirituality had entered not only the Western world, but the Christian church as well, unbeknownst to most people. Out of India succinctly identifies the mystical religious roots behind Yoga, which is being practiced today by millions of people, many of whom are Christians. Book jacket.

Routledge Revivals: The True India (1939) by C.F. Andrews Pdf

First published in 1939, this book sets out to refute some of the ‘unjust charges laid at India’s door’ and correct the ‘false impressions’ that prevailed at the time. The author argues that the distorted view of the social conditions in India in the contemporary press and literature were detrimental to the relationships between East and West. Attempting to give a picture of the true state of affairs, they show that Hinduism was reforming from within and that it was unjust to still equate it with earlier periods. The Depressed classes, women’s rights, child marriage, Caste and Kalighat are all examined in detail. The book will be interest to students of colonial India and social history.

The Fearless Revolutionary: The true account of Kanaklata Barua's sacrifice for India's freedom ǀ True story of one of the greatest freedom fighters from Assam by Hiranya Borah Pdf

1942, India The Quit India movement was at its peak, and people from various parts of the country came together to fight for freedom. Several great leaders inspired thousands to join the movement, and Pushpalata Das was at the forefront of the struggle in Assam. Her call to rise against suppression led to numerous common men and women to stand up and turn their dream of an independent India into reality. Kanaklata Barua led one of the biggest peaceful processions towards the Gohpur Police Station in Assam, to hoist the Indian tricolor to mark the symbolic end of the British Raj in India. She was instrumental in mobilizing a large number of people into joining the freedom struggle. The seventeen-year-old tigress of Assam was shot dead from point blank range on 20th September 1942 by British Police. The Fearless Revolutionary is the hitherto unheard story of this braveheart who conquered fear at a very young age. Giving wings to her desire to see India as a free country, she made the supreme sacrifice at the altar of freedom.
