DR. JAISINGRAO PAWAR HAS WRITTEN AND EDITED THE BOOK SAMAJKRANTIKARAK RAJARSHI SHAHU CHHATRAPATI". THIS BOOK GIVES A COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE AND WORK OF SHAHU MAHARAJ. LIKE ALL THE OTHER BIOGRAPHIES ABOUT SHAHU RAJE, THIS BOOK DOES NOT ONLY DESCRIBE HIS CAREER BUT ALSO ANALYZE THE WORK FROM THE HISTORICAL POINT OF VIEW, THAT TOO IN A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY. THE BOOK CONTAINS MANY SUCH SMALL AND BIG INCIDENCES FROM THE LIFE OF SHAHU MAHARAJ. THIS LIFE STORY OF THE MAHANAYAK CERTAINLY GIVES A BOOST TO THE NEW GENERATION TO CONTINUOUSLY TRY TO CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS. HE WAS A UNIQUE LEADER OF HIS OWN PEOPLE AND WISHED EVERYONE TO EXCEL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE LIVES. ज्या वेळी काँग्रेसच्या व्यासपीठावर अस्पृश्यता निवारणाचा केवळ ठराव पास होणेही मुश्कील होत होते, त्या वेळी राजर्षी शाहू महाराज हा कोल्हापूरचा द्रष्टा (दूरदर्शी) राजा आपल्या राज्यात अस्पृश्यतेचा नायनाट करणारे कायदे अमलात आणत होता. एवढेच नव्हे, तर महार, मांग, चांभार आदी अस्पृश्य समाजात मिसळून त्यांच्या हातचे अन्नोदक जाहीरपणे घेत होता; त्यांचे नेते डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकर यांना आपल्या पंगतीत बसवून त्यांचा सन्मान करत होता! चर्मकार समाजातील एका सुविद्य व्यक्तीला कोल्हापूर म्युनिसिपालिटीच्या चेअरमनपदावर बसवून देशासमोर सामाजिक आणि राष्ट्रीय ऐक्याचा आदर्श ठेवत होता! राजर्षी शाहू महाराजांचे जीवनध्येय, त्यांचे विचार व प्रत्यक्ष आचरण यामध्ये किती विलक्षण साम्य होते याची केवळ या एका उदाहरणावरून कल्पना येते.

IT S BEEN MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS SINCE NEW YORK CITY MEDICAL EXAMINER JACK STAPLETON S COLLEGE GRADUATION AND ALMOST AS LONG SINCE HE S BEEN IN TOUCH WITH FORMER CLASSMATES SHAWN DOHERTY AND KEVIN MURRAY.

KEVIN HAS STRONG POLITICAL AMBITIONS WITHIN THE CHURCH, BUT HIS ASSOCIATION WITH SHAWN THREATENS TO UNDERMINE THEM.

""MY NAME IS YOSHIKO KAWASHIMA, SOME CALL ME AISIN GIORO XIANYU IN MANCHURIA BUT TO MANY IN MY CIRCLE WHO KNEW WHAT I DID, I AM KNOWN SIMPLY AS THE JAPANESE PEONY AFTER MY FAVORITE FLOWER! I HAVE LIVED A COLORFUL AND COVERT DOUBLE LIFE OF INTRIGUE AND LIES, I'M EVEN SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN EXECUTED IN 1948! SO I REALLY CAN'T COMPLAIN THAT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO "OLD BONES" BUT DAY BY DAY, AS MY BODY GROWS WEAK, THE BURDEN OF THE SECRETS THAT WILL DIE WITH ME GROWS HEAVIER. I NEED TO TELL MY STORY AND CHANGE HISTORY FOREVER!" BORN INTO THE ROYAL FAMILY OF PRINCE SU AND A RELATIVE OF PU YI, THE LAST EMPEROR OF CHINA, YOSHIKO WAS A PRINCESS. HOW, ONE MIGHT ASK, DID A CHINESE PRINCESS FROM THE ROYAL HOUSE OF THE QING DYNASTY BECOME A SPY FOR THE JAPANESE SECRET SERVICE UNIT? THIS BOOK SETS OUT TO PUT ALL THE DISJOINTED PIECES OF A HUGE PUZZLE TOGETHER TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION! THIS BOOK ALSO LOOKS AT THE FASCINATING COVERT ACTIVITIES OF YOSHIKO AS A SPY, PLANNING AND ENGINEERING SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS JAPANESE INCURSIONS INTO CHINA THAT MADE HER A HISTORICAL FIGURE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN. BUT IN THE MIDST OF SO MUCH HARDNESS, ANGST AND HIGH LIVING WERE TWO POIGNANT MOMENTS IN YOSHIKO'S LIFE WHEN SHE LOVED AND LOST FIRST YAMAGA, A JAPANESE MILITARY OFFICER AND IN THE FINAL YEARS OF HER HEYDAYS, JACK STONE, AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST. IN 1945, WHEN JAPAN LOST THE WAR, YOSHIKO WAS BETRAYED BY HER BODYGUARDS AND CAPTURED BY CHIANG KAI SHEK'S MEN AND SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR TREASON AND ESPIONAGE. HISTORY HAS IT THAT SHE WAS EXECUTED ON 25TH MARCH, 1948 BUT AS IN LIFE, HER "DEATH" WAS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY AND INTRIGUE. WAS SHE EXECUTED OR DID SHE CHEAT DEATH IN A DARING SWAP WITH A DYING GIRL PAID TO TAKE HER PLACE? THIS IS THE TRUE STORY OF YOSHIKO KAWASHIMA AND HER SPECTACULAR LIFE AS A PRINCESS AND A SPY. WE TRAVEL WITH HER THROUGH THE BREATH TAKING MAZE OF HER EARLY YEARS IN MANCHURIA EVOLVING TO HER TURBULENT LIFE IN JAPAN AS THE ADOPTED DAUGHTER OF NANIWA KAWASHIMA AND HIS COLD, DISDAINFUL WIFE, NATSUKO. THE TRAIL THEN TAKES US ON A WHIRLWIND ARRANGED MARRIAGE TO A MONGOLIAN PRINCE WHICH LASTED JUST ONE YEAR AND ON TO A GLITTERING LIFE IN SHANGHAI WHERE YOSHIKO WAS RECRUITED BY THE JAPANESE INTELLIGENCE AS A SPY FOR JAPAN AND FINALLY TO PEKING WHERE SHE ENDED UP IN PRISON NO. 1 WITH AN EXECUTION ORDER ON HER HEAD. IT REMAINS A MYSTERY WHETHER YOSHIKO KAWASHIMA WAS ACTUALLY EXECUTED ON 25TH MARCH, 1948, THE OFFICIAL STAND OF CHINA IS THAT SHE WAS EXECUTED.

THIS COLLECTION OF SHORT ESSAYS WAS PUBLISHED IN 1948. IT CONTAINS 10 SHORT ESSAYS. MOST OF THEM REPRESENT THE AUTHOR S STATE OF MIND. AUTHOR FEELS THAT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE THERE IS A WIDE RANGE OF SHORT ESSAYS. THEY DIFFER IN TOPICS, THEY DIFFER IN STYLE. IN MARATHI, LESS TOPICS AND STYLES ARE HANDLED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE MARATHI SHORT ESSAYS REFLECT INNOVATIVE IDEAS AND DELICATE AFFECTION. LAST 20 YEARS HAVE SEEN A LOT OF MARATHI ESSAYS. MARATHI DOES HAVE A SCOPE IN THE FIELD OF LITERATURE. 'TEESRA PRAHAR IN MARATHI MEANS THE TIME OF LIFE BETWEEN THE YOUTH AND THAT OF A RESPONSIBLE PERSON OF 2530 YEARS. THIS STAGE IS CONSIDERED AS VERY IMPORTANT AS A PERSON IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE DOWN DURING IT. श्रेष्ठ वाङ्मयाची एक मोठी खूण म्हणजे शोकभावना.हा जीवनाचा एक अपरिहार्य भाग आहे.या सत्याची त्याला असलेली जाणीव. मात्र या जाणिवेमुळे ते वाङ्मय दबून जात नाही,गुदमरत नाही. भीतिग्रस्त होऊन डोळे मिटून घेत नाही, जीवनापासून दूर पळून जात नाही.माणसाच्या मनात आणि सामाजिक जीवनात जे जे अमंगल असते त्याच्यावर मात करू पाहणाNया त्याच्या आत्मशक्तिचे चित्र रेखाटण्यात या वाङ्मयाला नेहमीच आनंद होतो. ही शक्ती अनेकदा पराभूत होते,तिला नेहमी नवनव्या जखमा होत असतात.पण एखाद्या उत्कट क्षणी अमंगलाचा पराभव करून ती विजयी होते.

THE WORK DONE BY BHAGINI NIVEDITA IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, LITERATURE, ARTS AND SPIRITUALITY IS ASTOUNDING. YET, MUCH OF IT IS STILL UNVEILED. HER SUPPORT TO THE ARMED REVOLUTION IS NOW COMING TO SURFACE. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA HAD HIMSELF HAD HER TESTED BEFORE ALLOWING HER TO SHOULDER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF WORK RELATED TO FREEDOM OF COUNTRY RATHER THAN BEING STUCK AT FREEDOM OF SELF. SHE DID NOT HESITATE TO EMBRACE THE WAY OF ARMED REVOLUTION. HER LOGISTIC SUPPORT HELPED INDIANS PROFUSELY IN THE FREEDOM FIGHT. जन्माने आयरिश असणा-या भगिनी निवेदिता यांचे मूळ नाव मार्गारेट एलिझाबेथ नोबेल असे होते. २८ ऑक्टोबर १८६७ रोजी उत्तर आयर्लंडमधील टायरन प्रांतातील डनगॅनन या लहानशा शहरात त्यांचा जन्म झाला. लहानपणापासूनच त्यांच्यावर देशभक्ती, परोपकार यांचेच संस्कार झाले होते. स्वामी विवेकानंदांच्या विचारांनी प्रेरित होऊन मार्गारेट आपले कुटुंब, घर सोडून देशाची सेवा करण्याच्या उद्देशाने भारतात आली आणि इथल्या मातीशी, समाजाशी, समाजाच्या सुखदुःखांशी एकरूप झाली. हिंदू धर्मातील आचार-विचारांचा तिच्यावर जबरदस्त प्रभाव पडला. हिंदू धर्माचे उगमस्थान असणाNया भारतावर तिचे नितांत प्रेम होते. या राष्ट्रप्रम&

THIS BOOK TRULY PROVES TO ITS TYPE OF BEING A NOVEL. WHILE AS A NOUN IT IS NOVEL, AS AN ADJECTIVE IT IS NOVEL TOO; SIMPLY SUPERB. JOHAR IS THE SYNONYM OF HAYAT, IT IS THE WAY IN WHICH THE LOWCASTE PEOPLE USED TO GREET THE HIGHCASTE AND HIGHCLASS PEOPLE BY BOWING DOWN BEFORE THEM AND OFFERING A NAMASKAR USING THEIR RIGHT HAND. CENTURIES BEFORE, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN THE CLASSES AND MASSES. CASTEISM PREVAILED IN THE SOCIETY THEN. IT WAS BELIEVED THAT ONLY THE HIGHCASTE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENTER THE TEMPLES. UNTOUCHABILITY WAS THE MOST AGHAST WAY OF MISTREATMENT. SANT CHOKHA MELA WAS BORN THEN. JOHAR...

THE AUTHOR HAS AN ENDLESS POWER TO CAPTIVATE THE MINDS OF THE READERS. HER ASTUTE THOUGHTS REFLECT A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF EMOTIONS. SHE SUCCEEDS IN CARRYING OUR MINDS INTO THE PERIOD OF THE LAST CENTURIES. ONCE A TRUE READER STARTS READING THIS BOOK, HE OR SHE WILL NEITHER BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE GUSH OF EMOTIONS NOR THE TEARS. चोखोबा तर कधीपासून या दिवसाची प्रतीक्षा करत होता. दीपमाळ तर कधीच बांधून झाली होती. सगळ्या पणत्यांतून तेलवात घालून झाली, तेव्हा शुक्राची चांदणी आकाशात दिसत होती. दोन्ही दीपमाळांवरच्या सगळ्या पणत्यांच्या वाती त्यानं पेटवल्या आणि क्षणार्धात सारा आसमंत तेजस्वी प्रकाशाने उजळून निघाला. त्या गहिया अंधारात त्याची आभा क्षितिजापर्यं
