  Krantikari - Bharat ke...

  The history of India's struggle for freedom is usually told from the perspective of the non-violent movement. Yet, the story of armed resistance to colonial occupation is just as important. Names such as Vinayak Savarkar, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari Bose, Bagha Jatin, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Subhas Chandra Bose are still widely remembered. Their story is almost always presented as acts of individual heroism and not as part of a wider movement that had any overarching strategy or significant impact on the overall struggle for Independence. In reality, the revolutionaries were part of a large network that sustained armed resistance against the British Empire for half a century. They not only created a wide network inside India but also established nodes in Britain, France, Thailand, Germany, Persia, Russia, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Japan and Singapore. At various points, they received official support and recognition from the governments of some of these countries. Even the internal dynamics of the Indian National Congress of the time cannot be understood without the revolutionaries, who enjoyed widespread support within the organization. This was no small-scale movement of naive individual heroism but one that involved a large number of extraordinary young men and women who were connected in multiple ways to each other and to the evolving events of their times.  
  Krantikari, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Revolutionaries, tells their story, one that is replete with swashbuckling adventure, intrigue, espionage, incredible bravery, diabolical treachery and shockingly unpredictable twists of fate.

  The American way of life is imbued with an evident culture of consumerism and overconsumption. The American Dream has been linked to worldly attitudes and the belief that riches equals happiness. Growing trends in minimalism and the pursuit of happiness, on the other hand, are gaining traction and bringing to light issues such as overconsumption, the physical and mental impacts of clutter, and what actually brings joy.Increasing distractions in everyday life detract from our ability to pay attention and divert our attention from the events that genuinely count. Mindfulness has been shown in the past to be a helpful approach for reducing the deluge of worthless or damaging information. Individuals seeking increased well-being may also benefit from decluttering, according to anecdotal evidence.Is it possible that decluttering, like mindfulness, might increase overall happiness, tranquillity, and mental clarity? Is it true that decluttering boosts confidence, productivity, and relationship happiness? Is it true that decluttering lessens the value of material belongings and feelings of being overwhelmed by "stuff"? In this book, you will find all the answers you are looking for

  Modesty - The Humble Approach -...

  Modesty is often misunderstood in today's world, where self-expression and visibility are highly valued. It is not about suppression or hiding oneself but rather a way of living that reflects humility, self-respect, and grace. True modesty is not limited to clothing choices but extends to attitudes, behaviors, and the way individuals present themselves to the world. It is about carrying oneself with dignity and avoiding excess, whether in appearance, speech, or lifestyle. 
  Historically, modesty has been deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, often shaped by religious and philosophical beliefs. Many ancient societies regarded it as a virtue, associating it with wisdom, purity, and moral integrity. From Eastern philosophies emphasizing balance and restraint to Western traditions valuing humility and grace, modesty has been a guiding principle across civilizations. Though its expression has evolved over time, its essence remains unchanged—a conscious effort to practice simplicity and mindfulness in one's actions. 
  In modern society, modesty can be challenging to uphold, as social norms constantly shift and external influences promote self-promotion and material success. The pressure to stand out and gain validation can lead individuals to adopt behaviors that prioritize recognition over authenticity. However, true confidence does not stem from external validation but from an inner sense of self-worth. A modest person does not seek attention or approval but remains secure in their values and choices. This quiet strength allows for deeper connections with others and a greater focus on personal growth rather than superficial appearances.

  Edward II - The Unconventional King

  He is one of the most reviled English kings in history. He drove his kingdom to the brink of civil war a dozen times in less than twenty years. He allowed his male lovers to rule the kingdom. He led a great army to the most ignominious military defeat in English history. His wife took a lover and invaded his kingdom, and he ended his reign wandering around Wales with a handful of followers, pursued by an army. He was the first king of England forced to abdicate his throne. Popular legend has it that he died screaming impaled on a red-hot poker, but in fact the time and place of his death are shrouded in mystery. His life reads like an Elizabethan tragedy, full of passionate doomed love, bloody revenge, jealousy, hatred, vindictiveness, and obsession. He was Edward II, and this book tells his story. Using almost exclusively fourteenth-century sources and Edward's own letters and speeches wherever possible, Kathryn Warner strips away the myths which have been created about him over the centuries, and provides a far more accurate and vivid picture of him than has previously been seen.
