Soft cover. Condition: New. We are all proud of the glorious history of our nation and the rich Vedic culture and thoughts that have survived through millennia. Philosophy, science, mathematics, art and architecture, literature, political thought, political systems, thrived in our land, which slowly spread across the globe and e…ventually to the West. Foreign powers invaded our land from time to time over a period of about eight hundred years, making every effort to impose their culture on us and obliterate our own but we survived. Strangely, it is seldom that we wonder how and by whom was it made possible that we were able to keep our rich ancient culture intact. Unfortunately, modern Indians have grown up with a distorted version of the historical facts about India presented to them by the Western world and agenda driven historians. It is time that we let the younger generation know about our true historical heritage, and provide an answer to the mystery how, while all ancient civilisations perished with the passage of time, the Vedic civilisation survived. This book is an effort to explore that question. The only reason why the Vedic civilisation still stands tall is that at every stage of these foreign invasions, there arose brave and patriotic defenders of the Vedic civilisation, icons like Prithviraj Chouhan, Maharana Pratap, Krishnadeva Raya, Shivaji, Raja Ranjit Singh, Rani Jhansi, Subhash Chandra Bose. Coupled with that, were our great saints and intellectuals like Buddha, Mahavira, Shankaracharya, Ramanuja, Guru Nanak, Swami Vivekananda, who guided the king and subject alike on the right path and helped Indians to cherish human values, accepting all as their own, spreading the message of love, tolerance and ahimsa and never showing any imperialistic ambitions. When we take a zoomed out view of our history, these personalities stand out prominently. They shared the core Indian values and hence seemed as if they belong to the same lineage.

Hardcover. Condition: New. At the time of our independence in 1947, while Patel systematically went about getting the princely states to accede to India, using persuasion, incentives, and force, he also, perhaps, realised at the same time, that the unification of India will last only if we have a band of patriotic civil servants…, having a national character, not dependent on regional pulls and pressures, and who enjoy the independence to talk back to their political bosses when necessary, and work for the welfare of the people, without fear or favour. Patel, therefore, created the Indian Administrative Service. In order to ensure that the IAS officers have the independence to freely express their opinion without fear of losing their jobs, he built-in safeguards in the Constitution itself. The Indian Administrative Service has served the country well. The IAS, together with the other two All India Services, namely the Indian Police Service and the Indian Forest Service, has helped keep in check the diseases of corruption, anti-national activities, and terrorism, helped hold free and fair elections since our independence and ably assisted the political leaders implement myriads of schemes beneficial to the nation as a whole and target groups in particular, enabling India to grow into the fifth largest economy, one of the strongest military power, one of the largest producers of food, a nuclear power, a leader in space research and many more laudable achievements. Since the IAS operates in anonymity, and they are bound by the code of conduct, very rarely do they inform the public about what exactly is their contribution. The collection of essays presented in this book is an attempt to provide a glimpse of what the Indian Administrative Service has been doing for the nation over the years and how it is still silently serving the citizens of this country.
