The men who equipped the expeditions of which I shall tell you the story died in the poorhouse. The men who took part in these voyages sacrificed their lives as cheerfully as they lighted a new pipe or opened a fresh bottle. Some of them were drowned, and some of them died of thirst. A few were frozen to death, and many were killed by the heat of the scorching sun. The bad supplies furnished by lying contractors buried many of them beneath the green cocoanut-trees of distant lands. Others were speared by cannibals and provided a feast for the hungry tribes of the Pacific Islands. But what of it? It was all in the day’s work. These excellent fellows took whatever came, be it good or bad, or indifferent, with perfect grace, and kept on smiling. They kept their powder dry, did whatever their hands found to do, and left the rest to the care of that mysterious Providence who probably knew more about the ultimate good of things than they did.,The greatness of Mr. Gireesh Chandran’s book is that he has coordinated and presented into a totality his thoughts for making India really India and for the acquisition of the ability for India to execute its mission in the world. In each of hisword and sentence, we feel a heart-moving touch … that which moves the human heart, which is exactly what we miss in the illusory world of consumerism. - Swami Chidananda Puri, Adwaithaashramam Madaathipathi This book is the product of the times when modern science stands shocked in front of ‘corona’. This book poses the question whether our education has imparted to us self-awareness or self-conceit. The author also argues that it is relevant to investigate the tragic consequences of unscientific interference in Nature. I totally agree to the author’s emphasis on environmental concerns being very fundamental in today’s world. -M. A. Baby, Ex-Minister of Education,The story of mankind revolutionized former methods of telling history. it received the first newbery medal award for the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.,After his return from South Africa in July 1914, Mahatma Gandhi travelled the length and breadth of India. The mode was the third class on Indian Railways. The aim was to have a one-to-one connect with the masses. His experiences were penned in the book “Third Class in Indian Railways” written in Ranchi on September 25, 1917. Travelling from Lahore to Tranquebar and from Karachi to Calcutta in over two years, Gandhiji critically observed third class travel.,This landmark book is a founding work in the literature of black protest. W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) played a key role in developing the strategy and program that dominated early 20th-century black protest in America. In this collection of essays, first published together in 1903, he eloquently affirms that it is beneath the dignity of a human being to beg for those rights that belong inherently to all mankind. He also charges that the strategy of accommodation to white supremacy advanced by Booker T. Washington, then the most influential black leader in America, would only serve to perpetuate black oppression. Publication of The Souls of Black Folk was a dramatic event that helped to polarize black leaders into two groups: the more conservative followers of Washington and the more radical supporters of aggressive protest. Its influence cannot be overstated. It is essential reading for everyone interested in African-American history and the struggle for civil rights in America
