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.

Publisher Fact Sheet The definitive history of India's long flirtation with nuclear capability, culminating in the nuclear tests that surprised the world in May 1998.
The 1930s to 1950s witnessed the rise and dominance of a political culture across much of North India which combined unprecedented levels of mobilization and organization with an effective de-politicization of politics. On the one hand obsessed with world events, people also came to understand politics as a question of personal morality and achievement. In other words, politics was about expressing the self in new ways and about finding and securing an imaginary home in a fast-moving and often terrifying universe. The scope and arguments of this book make an innovative contribution to the historiography of modern South Asia, by focusing on the middle-class milieu which was the epicentre of this new political culture.
