R&AW के काओबॉयज (हिन्दी): अतीत की सुनहरी यादें
Author: B Raman

यह पुस्तक मुख्य रूप से R&AW के कामकाज के उन पहलुओं से संबंधित है, जिनके बारे में लेखक को, 26 वर्षों तक आर्गेनाइजेशन में सर्विस करते हुए, व्यक्तिगत ज्ञान था।

यह पुस्तक भारत के समकालीन इतिहास के बारे में बताती है - मुख्य रूप से, 71 का युद्ध; पूर्वोत्तर में विद्रोह, पंजाब और कश्मीर; आपातकाल; अफगानिस्तान का युद्ध; और इंदिरा गांधी, मोरारजी देसाई, राजीव गांधी, वी.पी.सिंह, चंद्र शेखर और नरसिम्हा राव के दौरान इंटेलिजेंस अनिवार्यताऐं और व्यवस्था के बारे में। यह पुस्तक इस उद्देश्य से लिखी गई ताकि उन घटनाओं में R&AW द्वारा निभाई गई भूमिका का ज्ञान, संभवतः इसकी ताकत और कमजोरियों को बेहतर ढंग से समझने में सक्षम करेगा और ये फिजूल ब्यानबाजियों एवं अतिश्योक्तियों से बचेगा। R&AW को वहाँ श्रेय दिया गया है, जहाँ उसे मिलना चाहिए था। और इसकी वहाँ आलोचना की गई है, जहाँ ऐसी आलोचना की आवश्यकता थी।

भारत में, सेवानिवृत्त इंटेलिजेंस अधिकारियों ने, इंटेलिजेंस और सुरक्षा के सामान्य पहलुओं पर किताबें लिखी हैं। हालाँकि, हमारी इंटेलिजेंस एजेंसियों की कार्यप्रणाली पर इसके सेवानिवृत्त अधिकारियों द्वारा लिखने में अनिच्छा रही है। ऐसी अनिच्छा, 1960 के दशक की शुरुआत तक अन्य देशों में भी थी। उसके बाद यह दूर हो गई। आम तौर पर जनता और विशेष रूप से शोध विद्वानों को, ऐसे लेखन से लाभ हुआ है। यह पुस्तक सार्वजनिक हित में, भारत में इस अनिच्छा को तोड़ने का प्रयास करती है, ताकि संपूर्ण राष्ट्र को एक विवेकी बहस से लाभ मिल सके।

भारत के अंदरूनी शत्रु
Author: RSN Singh

भारत देश सुरक्षित है लेकिन भारत राष्ट्र अंदर से कमजोर हो रहा है। भारत राष्ट्र को चुनौतियाँ उन विचारधाराओं से है जो कि विदेशी मिट्टी में पैदा हुई और दुनियाभर में अपना जहर फैला रही हैं। भारत राष्ट्र की सनातन संस्कृति, इन विचारधाराओं से लगातार जूझ रही है। इन विचारधारों के अनुयायी ही भारत राष्ट्र को अपना शत्रु मानते हैं।

क्योंकि सनातन अनंत है, इसलिए यह विस्तारवाद में विश्वास नहीं रखता। परन्तु सनातन, आत्मरक्षा या बचाव अवश्य निर्धारित करता है, वह भी आक्रामक-बचाव (offensive-defence) की पद्धति से। बिना आक्रामक-बचाव के ना तो राष्ट्र की सुरक्षा हो सकती है और ना ही राष्ट्र का निर्माण।

श्रीराम और लक्ष्मण ने ताड़का, सुबाहु और मारीच जैसे राक्षसों का वध इसलिए किया, क्योंकि वे उन ऋषियों को आतंकित कर रहे थे जो कि शिक्षा और अनुसन्धान के द्वारा राष्ट्र निर्माण में जुटे हुए थे।

यह पुस्तक आज के उन राक्षसों को उजागर करती है, जो कि भारत देश की आड़ में, भारत राष्ट्र को निशाना बना रहे हैं।

Battle of OP Hill: The Biggest Infantry Battle Fought in Mountains
Author: Lt Col (Dr) Sube Singh Ahlawat

We are status quoests, reactive, slave of inaction and shy of taking initiative.

After the ceasefire in 1947-48 Indo-Pak war, which became effective from 01 Jan 1949, border posts were established and initially occupied by CRPF and State Police Force. Later there were replaced by the armies on both sides. On Indian side, posts on important junctions etc. were occupied by CRPF for dealing with the miscreants. In Mendhar sector of Poonch, J&K one such post was occupied in north of village CHOHI 1152, on the track junction at the confluence of three ridges. It was covering the most likely approach and was about 1.5km deep into our area, across the ceasefire line. It was unfortunately abandoned in 1956. Nobody, for all those years thought of occupying it, until when Pakis came, occupied and developed a post at the same very place in Sep-Oct 1965. Pakis soon started shelling the area around. It was not acceptable in any case.

An attack was launched by 2 GARH RIF, which failed and the unit suffered, killed 2 officers and 18 others ranks. Finally a Brigade attack was launched, and area cleared but, again cost us 110 killed and large number wounded. Who is to blame?

It was located in a gap between two battalions and was not regularly patrolled by either. Brigade commander and staff had never familiarised with the area and were thus ignorant about it.

Subhash ki Shaadi ek Sajish - सुभाष की शादी एक साजिश (Hindi)
Dr. Madhusudan Pal (Author), Prof Kapil Kumar (Foreword)

विवाह करने में कोई बुराई नहीं है, और विवाह करना कभी अपराध नहीं होता। यह मानव जीवन की एक स्वाभाविक और सामान्य घटना है। लेकिन राजनीतिक उच्च पद पर आसीन किसी व्यक्ति द्वारा अपनी राजनीतिक और आर्थिक शक्ति का दुरुपयोग करके एक ऐतिहासिक स्तर पर लोकप्रिय व्यक्ति के नाम पर विवाह की कहानी गढ़ना निश्चित रूप से एक अपराध है।

यहां यह ऐतिहासिक लोकप्रिय व्यक्ति नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस हैं।

यहां राजनीतिक उच्च पद पर आसीन व्यक्ति जवाहरलाल नेहरू…।

इस पुस्तक में:-

--शादी की कहानियों के पीछे अपराध, अपराधिक मानसिकता, और अपराधियों को उजागर करना

--शादी की कहानियों के निर्माण का तंत्र

--अपराध से लाभान्वित

--शादी की कहानियों के अलग-अलग नैरेटिव

--शादी के अलग-अलग साल

--एमिली शेंकल के अलग-अलग चेहरे

--कहानियों की विश्लेषणात्मक गहन जांच

नेताजी के किसी भी भाई ने शादी की कहानियाँ स्वीकार नहीं की

--गृह मंत्रालय, भारत सरकार, के पास नेताजी की कथित शादी, पत्नी और बेटी से संबंधित कोई रिकॉर्ड नहीं है

--एमिली शेंकल की वास्तविक पहचान, जैसा कि वियना फ़ाइल में दर्ज है, जिसे भारत सरकार ने 2016 में डी-क्लासिफाइड किया

The Dragon’s Bite: Strategic Continuum and Chinese PLA’s Evolving Fire and Teeth

Author: Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan

For decades, China has been called a Dragon. Verily like a Dragon, China under its Communist Party burns its target nations' Comprehensive National Power (CNP) before unleashing its Peoples' Liberation Army (PLA), if needed.

This is based on the lessons learnt within wherein it subverted the masses with its ideology to gain political control. Thus, it does not need a very strong PLA to contend with many nations of the Indo-Pacific region, except, India, Japan, Australia and the USA, since the war in Ukraine has pinned NATO and EU to Europe.

This book focusses on this aspect of Chinese Grand Strategy of gaining /coercing influence and power in the region, without fighting.

A Set of Two Books: Know the Anti-Nationals and Jihadis Plus
Author: RSN Singh

We live in an era of nation-states. Nationhood is predicated on shared sense of past and a common purpose of future. More than nation-state, India is a civilization, a complete civilization. To keep this civilization fresh and vibrant, winds from all directions are imperative for its nourishment. But, winds cannot be allowed to build into destructive storms, that threaten to uproot the civilization, the very basis of nationhood. Jihadism and Maoism are the two main destructive storms. Fueling these storms are India’s enemies as well as the forces of proselytization. They have to be crushed both at ideological and physical levels. We have been squeamish in dealing with the problems because of the misplaced notion that all ideologies are basically benign and beneficial, they are not. These forces have to be vanquished to secure the internal or the third front. This book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’ exposes these enemies within.

The book “The Jihadis Plus – Know the Anti-Nationals” is a sequel to the book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’ published in 2021, both in English and Hindi. What is germane to the internal security challenges to Bharat Nation and the Indian State, are ideologies and isms. The dynamics of internal conflicts and shades of anti-national characters and allied forces keep changing, but the ideological moorings and motivations of the anti-nationals remain unchanged. If they were to change, they would whither. Since anti-nationals keep mutating in updated versions, correspondingly this book became an imperative. Sanatan is not expansionist, because it is eternal. Nevertheless it certainly prescribes offensive-defence. Without offensive defence Bharatiya nationhood cannot be preserved and nurtured. This is a set of both books "Know the Nationals Anti-Nationals" and "The Jihadis Plus".

THE RATIONALIST MURDERS : Diary of a Ruined Investigation
Author: Amit Thadhani

This book is an exhaustive research into the published information and court orders dealing with murders of Narendra Dabholkar, Comrade Pansare, MM Kalburgi and Gauri Lankesh. It uncovers several unknown facts about the four murder investigations that reveal serious miscarriage of justice and an utter failure on part of investigating agencies.

The information provided in the book points to deliberate use of political and muscle power to influence police investigation. The author contends on a study of official documents submitted in courts that the investigating teams, probably by acting under political influence, have ended up deeply undermining all four investigations.

The book makes a compelling case for the long overdue police and judicial reforms and an urgent need to ensure a non-partisan investigation without interference from politicians and powerful organisations. Through this book, the author points out the need to free up the proverbial “caged parrot” forever so that they are free to do what they are meant for: function without fear or fervour, bring the truth before the courts, so that the guilty get punished, and protection of the innocent is ensured.

The Economic History of British India
Author: Romesh Chandra Dutt

“The natives scarcely know what it is to see the grey head of an Englishman; young men, boys almost, govern there, without society, and without sympathy with the natives. They have no more social habits with the people than if they still resided in England; nor, indeed, any species of in*******se but that which is necessary to making a sudden fortune, with a view to a remote settlement. Animated with all the avarice of age, and all the impetuosity of youth, they roll in one after another; wave after wave, and there is nothing before the eyes of the natives but an endless, hopeless prospect of new flights of birds of prey and passage, with appetites continually renewing for a food that is continually wasting. Every rupee of profit made by an Englishman is lost for ever to India.”

“The East India Company’s trade was abolished in 1833, and the Company was abolished in 1858... Their capital was paid off by loans which were made into an Indian Debt, on which interest is paid from Indian taxes. The empire was transferred from the Company to the Crown, but the people of India paid the purchase-money The Indian Debt, which was £51,000,000 in 1857, rose to £97,000,000 in 1862. Within the forty years of peace which have succeeded, the Indian Debt has increased continuously, and now (1901) amounts to £200,000,000. The “Home Charges” remitted annually out of the Indian revenues to Great Britain have increased to sixteen millions. The pay of European officers in India, virtually monopolising all the higher services, comes to ten millions. One-half of the nett revenues of India, which are now forty-four millions sterling, flows annually out of India. Verily the moisture of India blesses and fertilises other lands.”

Egypt Until Democracy
Author: Pushpa Adhikari

Egypt’s geopolitical situation and her strategic importance in the Middle East have contributed much to that dominant position. Being the entrepôt and the meeting place of three continents - Asia, Africa and Europe - she is often called the gateway to Asia and the commercial gate of the world, primarily because of Suez Canal. She is at the center of Arab homeland, situated at its very heart and constituting one third of the Arab world. The Arabs are linked by the same destiny with common causes, like their fight against Zionism in which Egypt has played an important role.

Independent Egypt developed as the strongest and the most influential Arab nation after WW-II. She became an important figure in bringing Arab unity and integration. She played the dominant role in establishing League of the Arab States in 1945. The League, its headquarter in Cairo, with an Egyptian Secretary General and Egyptian staff, came under Egypt’s direct control and influence.

President Sadat’s close links with Saudi Arabia’s King Faisal and oil rich Persian Shiekhdoms provided Egypt an opportunity to play an important role in the 1973 oil crisis and to impose oil embargo on US. This brought an important change in US policy towards Middle East, which caused US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to make several visits in the area. The US government started taking keen interest in the peace negotiation in the Middle East.

Poonch: India's Invincible Citadel
Author: Brig JS Grewal, VSM (Retd)

COMMENTS: Poonch has witnessed the rule of Mughals, Sikhs, Dogras and the British Raj, as also the unforgettable fighting between the Indian and Pakistani forces immediately after Partition. Although surrounded, and isolated, for nearly one year, its people fighting alongside the Indian Army and Air Force, ensured that the town did not fall into the hands of the Pakistani invaders... This book, I am sure, will be of great interest to the public, particularly to our Armed Forces personnel. —General VP Malik, PVSM, AVSM (Retd) — Former Chief of Army Staff, India.

This book is a tribute to the people of Poonch and the brave leaders who refused to give way to the enemies who wanted to capture it. This book, however goes beyond the conduct of military operations as the author in his inimitable style has dealt comprehensively on the human aspects of people enmeshed in a prolonged war. This eminently readable and profusely illustrated book needs to be read by both analysts and lay persons. It is also a must read for the young men and women of our great nation who need to absorb the exploits of the brave warriors of India and indeed for all our countrymen, in whose breast burns the flame of patriotism. —Lt Gen Vijay Oberoi, PVSM, AVSM, VSM (Retd) — Former Vice Chief of Army Staff, Founder & Director Emeritus for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS).

Author has painstakingly researched into the history of Poonch and how its geographical location played a pivotal role in saving the Jammu region losing a significant portion of its territory to the Pakistani Lashkars in 1947-48...and is engrossing reading. — Lt Gen (Dr) J S Bajwa, PVSM, UYSM, SM (Retd), Former DG Infantry, Former Chief of Staff (Eastern Command).

31/01/2022

This is a story of ships and sailors highlighting the role of sea forces both in conflict and cooperation against the backdrop of Asian sea-blindness in the Indian Ocean.

The oceanic saga begins with the emotional mutiny of Royal Indian Navy sailors in 1946 followed by naval operations in Junagadh and the Liberations of Goa. The non-performance of seapower in the Sino-Indian War of 1962 and the Indo-Pak conflict in 1965, largely due to the legacy of the Nehru-Krishna Menon period, is covered in sufficient detail for navigating the route to the resounding victory of 1971.

The untold story of Mukti Bahini frogmen in East Pakistan who sank/damaged over a lakh tons of shipping with limpet mines, as published in the Lloyd’s Casualty Return, is for the first time covered in detail and by a former expatriate from East Bengal (now Bangladesh).

The destruction of the Pakistani submarine Ghazi, the missile attacks on Karachi as also the loss of the Indian frigate Khukri are vividly described with excerpts from survivors. The aircraft carrier and submarine operations together with Admiral Zumwalt ‘closing the loop’ for the incursion of the US Seventh Fleet is the prelude to the surrender of 92000 Pakistani forces in which the Flag Officer Commanding, East Pakistan was taken prisoner. These historic events, which have hitherto been untold, are a fascinating first-hand account of war in the Indian Ocean.

The book concludes with naval operations in Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Somalia as also the role of the navy and coastguard as instruments of state policy and the emergence of Australia and South Africa as Indian Ocean powers.
-----------------
