A sweeping historical epic and a radical new interpretation of Vasco da Gama's groundbreaking voyages, seen as a turning point in the struggle between Christianity and IslamIn 1498 a young captain sailed from Portugal, circumnavigated Africa, crossed the Indian Ocean, and discovered the sea route to the Indies and, with it, access to the fabled wealth of the East. It was the longest voyage known to history. The little ships were pushed beyond their limits, and their crews were racked by storms and devastated by disease. However, their greatest enemy was neither nature nor even the sheer dread of venturing into unknown worlds that existed on maps populated by coiled, toothy sea monsters. With bloodred Crusader crosses emblazoned on their sails, the explorers arrived in the heart of the Muslim East at a time when the old hostilities between Christianity and Islam had risen to a new level of intensity. In two voyages that spanned six years, Vasco da Gama would fight a running sea battle that would ultimately change the fate of three continents.An epic tale of spies, intrigue, and treachery; of bravado, brinkmanship, and confused and often comical collisions between cultures encountering one another for the first time; Holy War also offers a surprising new interpretation of the broad sweep of history. Identifying Vasco da Gama's arrival in the East as a turning point in the centuries-old struggle between Islam and Christianity?one that continues to shape our world?Holy War reveals the unexpected truth that both Vasco da Gama and his archrival, Christopher Columbus, set sail with the clear purpose of launching a Crusade whose objective was to reach the Indies; seize control of its markets in spices, silks, and precious gems from Muslim traders; and claim for Portugal or Spain, respectively, all the territories they discovered. Vasco da Gama triumphed in his mission and drew a dividing line between the Muslim and Christian eras of history?what we in the West call the medieval and the modern ages. Now that the world is once again tipping back East, Holy War offers a key to understanding age-old religious and cultural rivalries resurgent today.

The Indian Army was the largest volunteer army during the Second World War. Indian Army divisions fought in the Middle East, North Africa and Italy - and went to make up the overwhelming majority of the troops in South East Asia. Over two million personnel served in the Indian Army - and India provided the base for supplies for the Middle Eastern and South East Asian theaters. This monograph is a modern historical interpretation of the Indian Army as a holistic organization during the Second World War. It will look at training in India - charting how the Indian Army developed a more comprehensive training structure than any other Commonwealth country. This was achieved through both the dissemination of doctrine and the professionalism of a small coterie of Indian Army officers who brought about a military culture within the Indian Army - starting in the 1930s - that came to fruition during the Second World War, which informed the formal learning process. Finally, it will show that the Indian Army was reorganized after experiences of the First World War. During the interwar period, the army developed training and belief for both fighting on the North West Frontier, and as an aid to civil power. With the outbreak of the Second World War, in addition to these roles, the army had to expand and adapt to fighting modern professional armies in the difficult terrains of desert, jungle and mountain warfare. A clear development of doctrine and training can be seen, with many pamphlets being produced by GHQ India that were, in turn, used to formulate training within formations and then used in divisional, brigade and unit training instructions - thus a clear line of process can be seen not only from GHQ India down to brigade and battalion level, but also upwards from battalion and brigade level based on experience in battle that was absorbed into new training instructions. Together with the added impetus for education in the army, by 1945 the Indian Army had become a modern, professional and national army.

Why, Salmond asks, would nineteenth-century Hindus who come from an iconic religious tradition voice a kind of invective one might expect from Hebrew prophets, Muslim iconoclasts, or Calvinists? Rammohun was a wealthy Bengali, intimately associated with the British Raj and familiar with European languages, religion, and currents of thought. Dayananda was an itinerant Gujarati ascetic who did not speak English and was not integrated into the culture of the colonizers. Salmond's examination of Dayananda after Rammohun complicates the easy assumption that nineteenth-century Hindu iconoclasm is simply a case of borrowing an attitude from Muslim or Protestant traditions. Salmond examines the origins of these reformers' ideas by considering the process of diffusion and independent invention-that is, whether ideas are borrowed from other cultures, or arise spontaneously and without influence from external sources. Examining their writings from multiple perspectives, Salmond suggests that Hindu iconoclasm was a complex movement whose attitudes may have arisen from independent invention and were then reinforced by diffusion. Although idolatry became the symbolic marker of their reformist programs, Rammohun's and Dayananda's agendas were broader than the elimination of image-worship. These Hindu reformers perceived a link between image-rejection in religion and the unification and modernization of society, part of a process that Max Weber called the "disenchantment of the world." Focusing on idolatry in nineteenth-century India, Hindu Iconoclasts investigates the encounter of civilizations, an encounter that continues to resonate today.

Nothing comes even remotely close to the excitement that cricket evokes in both the young and the old in India. Cricket in India is a religion, with cricketers revered as gods. While we have grown up watching cricket on our televisions, we have felt the tension, euphoria and joy that cricketers on the field may have experienced while playing. Of Spins, Sixes and Surprises: 50 Defining Moments in Indian Cricket is a humble attempt at reliving those occasions. Authors Shom Biswas and Titash Banerjea present an amazing journey of Indian cricket, from the time when the greatest Indian cricketer of his time (Ranji) used to represent another country (England) to a time when India has become the nerve centre of the world game. The emergence of women's cricket also forms a key theme.

Au sein de ma conscience, j'ai semé les graines divines de ta bonté. Jour et nuit, je les ai soignées ; mais alors qu'elles poussaient déjà leurs feuilles tendres, le soleil brûlant de mes désirs et le vent de mes pensées agitées du passé et de l'avenir ont brûlé leurs feuilles et dispersé Ton ¿uvre en moi. Mais je n'abandonnerai pas, je sèmerai encore et encore dans le sol secret de ma conscience, jusqu'à ce que Ton amour porte du fruit en moi, que cela me prenne une vie ou une chaîne infinie de vies, je n'abandonnerai pas. Je continuerai à semer Tes bénédictions au c¿ur de ma conscience, jusqu'à ce que je trouve le lieu sacré où la chaleur de mes désirs et la voracité de mes pensées ne peuvent plus marcher ni souiller. Je continuerai à semer Tes graines de bonté dans ma foi, et lorsqu'il n'y aura plus aucun endroit dans le champ fini de ma conscience individuelle qui ne soit pas saturé du fruit de Ton amour, alors, dans le silence, quand tout dort, je continuerai à semer Tes graines de bénédiction dans l'esprit de tous Tes autres enfants. Ainsi, lorsque le champ de conscience débordera du fruit de Ton amour, nous réaliserons que Tu es notre seul véritable Soi éternel et insondable.

No seio da minha consciência, semeei as sementes divinas da Tua bondade. Dia e noite cuidei delas; mas quando já brotavam as suas tenras folhas, o sol ardente dos meus desejos e o vento dos meus pensamentos inquietos do passado e do futuro queimaram as suas folhas e dispersaram a Tua obra em mim. Mas eu não desistirei, semearei uma e outra vez no solo secreto da minha consciência, até que o Teu amor dê frutos em mim, quer leve uma vida inteira ou uma cadeia infinita de vidas, eu não desistirei. Continuarei a semear as Tuas bênçãos no coração da minha consciência, até encontrar o lugar sagrado onde o calor dos meus desejos e a voracidade dos meus pensamentos já não podem pisar nem contaminar. Continuarei a semear as Tuas sementes de bondade na minha fé, e quando não restar nenhum lugar no campo finito da minha consciência individual que não esteja saturado com o fruto do Teu amor, então, em silêncio, quando todos dormirem, continuarei a semear as Tuas sementes de bênção nas mentes de todos os Teus outros filhos. Assim, quando o campo da consciência estiver a transbordar com o fruto do Teu amor, compreenderemos que Tu és o nosso único Ser real, eterno e insondavelmente feliz.

Nel seno interiore della mia coscienza ho seminato i semi divini della Tua bontà. Giorno e notte li ho curati; ma quando stavano già spuntando le loro tenere foglioline, il sole cocente dei miei desideri e il vento dei miei pensieri inquieti del passato e del futuro hanno bruciato le loro foglie e disperso la Tua opera in me. Ma non mi arrenderò, seminerò ancora e ancora nel terreno segreto della mia coscienza, finché il Tuo amore non porterà frutto in me, che mi ci voglia una vita o una catena infinita di vite, non desisterò. Continuerò a seminare le Tue benedizioni nel cuore della mia coscienza, finché non troverò il luogo sacro dove il calore dei miei desideri e la voracità dei miei pensieri non potranno più calpestare o contaminare. Continuerò a seminare i Tuoi semi di bontà all'interno della mia fede, e quando non ci sarà più posto nel campo finito della mia coscienza individuale che non sia saturo del frutto del Tuo amore, allora, in silenzio, quando tutti dormono, continuerò a seminare i Tuoi semi di benedizione nelle menti di tutti gli altri Tuoi figli. Così, quando il campo della coscienza sarà traboccante del frutto del Tuo amore, realizzeremo che Tu sei il nostro unico vero Sé eterno e insondabilmente beato.

In den inneren Schoß meines Gewissens habe ich die göttliche Saat deiner Güte gesät. Tag und Nacht pflegte ich sie; aber als sie schon ihre zarten Blätter trieben, verbrannte die sengende Sonne meiner Begierden und der Wind meiner ruhelosen Gedanken an die Vergangenheit und an die Zukunft ihre Blätter und zerstreute Dein Werk in mir. Aber ich werde nicht aufgeben, ich werde immer wieder in den geheimen Boden meines Gewissens säen, bis Deine Liebe in mir Früchte trägt, ob es nun ein Leben lang dauert oder eine unendliche Kette von Leben, ich werde nicht aufgeben. Ich werde fortfahren, Deinen Segen in das Herz meines Gewissens zu säen, bis ich den heiligen Ort gefunden habe, den die Hitze meiner Begierden und die Unersättlichkeit meiner Gedanken nicht mehr betreten oder verunreinigen können. Ich werde fortfahren, Deinen Samen der Güte in meinen Glauben zu säen, und wenn es in dem endlichen Feld meines individuellen Bewusstseins keinen Platz mehr gibt, der nicht mit der Frucht Deiner Liebe gesättigt ist, dann werde ich in der Stille, wenn alle schlafen, fortfahren, Deinen Samen des Segens in den Geist aller Deiner anderen Kinder zu säen. So werden wir, wenn das Feld des Bewusstseins mit der Frucht Deiner Liebe überfließt, erkennen, dass Du unser einziges wirkliches, ewiges und unergründlich glückseliges Selbst bist.

In the inner bosom of my conscience, I sowed the divine seeds of Your goodness. Day and night I tended them; but when they were already sprouting their tender leaves, the scorching sun of my desires and the wind of my restless thoughts of the past and of the future burned their leaves and scattered Your work in me. But, I will not give up, I will sow again and again in the secret soil of my conscience, until Your love bears fruit in me, whether it takes me a lifetime or an infinite chain of lifetimes, I will not give up. I will continue to sow Your blessings in the heart of my conscience, until I find the sacred place where the heat of my desires and the voracity of my thoughts can no longer tread or desecrate. I will continue to sow Your seeds of goodness within my faith and, when there is no room left in the finite field of my individual consciousness that is not saturated with the fruit of Your love, then, in silence, when all sleep, I will continue to sow Your seeds of blessing in the minds of all Your other children. Thus, when the field of consciousness is overflowing with the fruit of Your love, we will realize that You are our only real Eternal and unfathomably blissful Self.
