My hands are shivering and i am running high on temperature so this post may lack some thing in it. Apologies for that.
'The Discovery of India' was written by Pundit Nehru in Ahmednagar fort jail in 1942-1945. This book is simply superb and it talks about the history of the common man during the entire age of our civilization. This book is not a story of kings but of philosophers, saints and prophets of India. I have read innumerable books on history, this book is in different league altogether. A must read for any person wants to know about India. In his own words "India is a myth and an idea, a dream and a vision and yet very real and present and pervasive". I have been reading this book for quite some time and i am feeling really very solemn after finishing it. I got yet another book from Aviral. This is " Sanskrit ke chaar Adhyay" by Ramdhaari Singh Dinkar, the legendary writer of Rashmirathi. The foreword is written by Pundit Nehru ;). Over to you Sir.
Highly Recommended (9/10)
