Invaders: Cruelty and Conspiracy

India, once a beacon of cultural and economic prosperity, became a repeated target of foreign invasions. These aggressors sought to dismantle a thriving civilisation, leaving behind scars that still echo in history. The arrival of Muslim invaders marked the beginning of an era of turbulence and suffering. Atrocities were committed to weaken the very foundations of Hindu society-children of Guru Gobind Singh Ji were entombed alive, temples and centres of learning were destroyed, and countless lives were lost. Conspiracies were woven to erase Sanatan Dharma, and millions of Hindus were massacred. The ideology of Ghazwa-e-Hind gained ground, and jihad became a weapon for those seeking domination. Yet, despite relentless oppression, the Hindu community displayed extraordinary resilience. Their determination, sacrifice, and valour safeguarded their identity and preserved India's rich cultural heritage. This book sheds light on the historical context of such invasions, the indomitable spirit of Sanatanis, and the continuing internal challenges society must confront today. It not only chronicles the wounds of the past but also warns against the conspiracies that persist in the present.

The Wonder That Is Urdu

Language is a Developmental, social and cultural phenomenon. When Urdu started its literary journey, writing also treasured it and today we are proud of the great collection of Urdu books. Urdu lovers have also done a remarkable job in writing books on various topics and in conveying the standard writings to the Urdu circles by giving them solid ink. This book although written in English, is one such masterpiece by Krishna S. Dhir. However, it clearly reflects the love of the writer for the Urdu language and its literature. The beginning of this book is an excellent illustration of how the various apabhransha of South Asia interacted with Perso-Arabic and European languages, to give rise to various languages, including Urdu and how they grew up through the time of the Mughals and the British. How all the major religions of the world originated in the Asian continent and the observation of Sufis are highlighted in the second chapter of this book. The role of social and economic institutions and traditions in the evolution of Urdu has been shed light upon. Krishna S. Dhir has painstakingly elaborated upon the protest literature and extensively quoted Mir, Ghalib, Daagh Dehlvi, Sahir Ludhianvi, Faiz Ahmad, Ahmad Fraz and other poets to prove how Urdu poetry has been used to protest against siege, raids, imprisonment, imperialism and colonisation, and to express love and peace. Finally, the writer explores how Urdu is deployed by the diaspora that uses it.
