From Scandinavian Shores
From 1825 to 1930 almost three million Scandinavians immigrated to the New World. However, emigration did not extinguish their strong and admirable culture. In fact, Scandinavian immigrants exhibited even more of the unique traits that had long nourished their ancestors and this adherence to their cultural values contributed much to their success in the New World. Scandinavian shores is an illuminating and entertaining book that brings to life the rich cultural history that has survived through generations of Scandinavians and has transcended the distance between the New World and their home countries. When these immigrants stepped ashore in the New World, they had what mattered most: their resourcefulness, work ethic and skilled craftsmanship. These, and other inherent traits, set them apart from the thousands of European immigrants of different descent.

Gandhi and Indian Independence
Several years after his assassination, Mahatma Gandhi remains an elusive figure - discomfiting and difficult to comprehend. In this book, Dr Padma Ramakrishnan gives great weight to Gandhi's role in Indian Independence and assesses his influence and triumphs. She has appraised the role of Mahatma Gandhi in the transfer of power from the point of view of a political scientist. The book is analytical and objective - presenting Gandhi as a political leader, not as a visionary. The author analyses the politics of negotiation in her chapters on the Shimla Conference, the Cabinet Mission Plan, and Interim Government. In the chapter "Gandhi and the Partition of India”, she concludes that it was not Gandhi who was responsible for the partition of India. This is a distinct contribution to the scholarly output of Gandhian studies.
