Hisorical, History, Indian HistoryForgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle [hardcover] DR. Shrankhala H.Das
India’s fight for independence is often associated with landmark events like the 1857 Revolt, the Non-Cooperation Movement, and the Quit India Movement. However, scattered across the country’s long and tumultuous history are lesser-known mutinies—acts of defiance that, though overshadowed by larger uprisings, played a crucial role in shaping the freedom struggle. In Forgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle, Dr. Sharnkhala H. Das brings to light these hidden chapters of resistance, narrating the stories of unsung heroes, rebellious battalions, and grassroots revolts that challenged colonial rule. Drawing from historical records, letters, and firsthand accounts, the book uncovers incidents that were either overlooked or deliberately erased from mainstream history. This meticulously researched work takes readers on a journey across different regions, from the early revolts of the 18th century to localized military uprisings, tribal rebellions, and spontaneous civilian protests that defied British authority. Through compelling storytelling and sharp analysis, Dr. Das offers a fresh perspective on India’s struggle for independence, emphasizing that no act of resistance—no matter how small—was insignificant in the fight for freedom. Forgotten Mutinies of India’s Freedom Struggle is an essential read for history enthusiasts, researchers, and anyone eager to rediscover the hidden voices of India’s past.

One of Ours
One Of Ours is a book written by Willa Cather, who later received the 1923 Pulitzer Prize. In One of Ours, Cather brings World War I to the heartland of Nebraska and sensitively guides the reader through the highs and lows experienced by a young man who is already enjoying what is perhaps his life’s greatest triumphs. But, One of Ours is not a tale of battle. Instead, it’s just another excellent examination of the most fundamental aspirations, phobias, and concerns of travellers. This is an emotional tale of purposelessness and human restlessness. At the turn of the century, Claude Wheeler was born in Nebraska to a wealthy agricultural family. Claude, who is unsatisfied with his job and his wife, finds fulfilment while serving in France during World War I. How will Claude survive during the War? What will happen to Claude’s family? To read this amazing collection of ideas based on sacrifices and life, readers should go through the book!
