The Rider of Blue Horse (Neele Ghore ka Sawar) is a novel based on the sparkling and heroic life of globally well-known Maharana Pratap of Mewar, who fought a long war with the unequal mighty army of Mughal Emperor Akbar, who wanted to bow down Mewar. Maharana Pratap lit a light of freedom, pride, and self-respect among the people of Mewar, inspiring the nation's struggle for freedom in the time to come. The author has successfully attempted to describe how a great hero of a nation, a great son of the soil like Maharana Pratap, attempts to thwart the mighty foreign forces who were ready to succumb to the freedom and pride of Mewar. The author approaches such gallant psyche and internal conflict while facing the struggle from a different angle, which has never been described anywhere else with such minute details. He also exposes the dual character of the Emperor and his Turk and Rajput Mansabdars side by side, making the novel much more interesting for the readers.
Rajendra Shekhar, former CBI director and former DG police Rajasthan, has stringed together episodes that are astoundingly gripping. He has studied in two of the most prestigious educational power houses of the country, Mayo (schooling) and St. Stephen’s (college education). He has authored two books in English and one in Hindi; all of them having won acclaim. His rich professional experience (in state police and the CBI) is evidenced in his experiences during the 1965 Indo-Pak War and in his supervision of cases of special crime, anti-corruption and murder in the CBI. His skilled narration in Facebook posts and penned articles has drawn exceptional endorsements. The book is peppered with endearing characters that flit through the pages perpetrating well-meaning indiscretions from Mansukha to Masoom and of course Amma (author’s mother) who is naive enough to think that Eton is just a pile of bricks. Shekhar’s forte is character delineation. As such, the unique aspect of this book is that it is replete with delightful characters having a bearing on human interest. This touching tale of times gone by will strike a heart-warming chord with its readers, as they go along to discover the humane facet of a ‘uniformed service’, otherwise known for its severe approach.
The story of Udayan, direct descendant of the great Pandava warrior Arjuna, is all that remains of the third great Indian epic, the Bruhatkatha. Though he is raised to be a warrior-King, whose sword must carry the blood of his enemies, as a supremely gifted veena maestro, his soul belongs to the Goddess of Music. As time passes, the great Vatsa Empire crumbles as its musician-King sits lost to the reality of intrigue, espionage and war which threatens to wipe out both his kingdom and the Pandava line forever. This is the epic tale of Udayan, his devoted Minister, Yaugandharayan, his fiercely loyal General, Rumanwan, and the brilliant Court Jester, Vasantak. It is also the story of Pradyot, proud King of Avanti, and Udayan’s abduction of his vivacious and beautiful daughter, Vasavdatta. As the thrilling narrative sweeps across the plains and mountains of Bharatvarsh, raising the dust of history. Events long past come to life as the forgotten Pandava lives again.

The memoirs of India’s first President Dr Rajendra Prasad wrote the greater part of Autobiography while he was in prison between 1942 and 1945. First published in Hindi, it takes us through his childhood, his life in his village Chapra, his early education with his teacher ‘Maulvi Saheb’, his years as a student in Calcutta, his marriage at the age of twelve and his legal practice. It discusses not only his personal tribulations, but is also an examination of the last years of British colonial rule in India. As a freedom fighter and close associate of Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad was privy to political developments in the decades before Independence. He records Gandhi’s influence on him, the call for non-co-operation in Bihar as part of Gandhiji’s larger all-India movement, the boycott of foreign cloth, the shadow of communalism and the Hindu–Muslim question, Satyagraha and social reform. This book is testimony to Rajendra Prasad’s deep humanity, his unswerving nationalism and belief in democracy. It is also an exploration of the foundations of modern India.
Increases in various fungal infections due to Candida, Aspergillus, Blastomyces, Histoplasma spp., and Dermatophytes have attracted interest in the biochemistry of the fungal pathogens responsible. This book discusses the importance of lipids in pathogenic fungi and how they are involved in infections that pose serious health problems. The role of lipids in dimorphism, adherence, and virulence of fungi is investigated as is their composition and metabolism. Several chapters are devoted to examinations of specific pathogenic fungi, which will be particularly useful to researchers studying the clinical manifestations of infections caused by these factors. Later chapters present possible antifungal agents and nonconventional agents that target the organisms discussed earlier. Collectively, the contributions to this volume provide an excellent overview of this field. This text is essential for practicing clinicians and for everyone involved in the important task of resolving the problems associated with fungal pathogenicity.
