The Tryst Betrayed
Author: Jagat S Mehta
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184757840
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
In The Tryst Betrayed, former Indian foreign secretary Jagat Singh Mehta looks back on an eventful career which began on the day after India’s independence. In his lucid and informative style, Mehta sheds light on Nehru’s prophetic assertion of ideological agnosticism (named ‘Non-Alignment’ in 1946) and its distortion by the accidental overlap of decolonization with the Cold War. Mehta argues that Nehru was naïve on China, wishful on the Soviet Union and prejudiced against America. The civil servants were hypnotized by what he refers to as the ‘Panditji knows best’ syndrome. He illustrates that Nehru’s bark was no doubt frightening but his bite not vicious.

MYRIAD OF RECOLLECTIONS
Author: BRIGADIER DINESH MATHUR (RETIRED)
Publisher: Blue Rose Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Till 13th Century, the Kayasths were still considered as the hereditary professional scribes who maintained land revenue records, in the court language, Urdu or Persian. Being well versed in accountancy and the vernacular, they were much sought after by the Mughal nobility for their skill and efficiency in governance. Most Kayasth families have rock solid foundations and are truly joint even now. They were way ahead of their times in education, cultural heritage and social customs. After independence, the Mathurs emerged as front runners in the race for civil services & the Railways and occupied top slots in civil aviation, academia, medical and engineering services. This sometimes made the political hierarchy nervous. Before proceeding to read Wikipedia’s description of Dehradun as the capital city of Uttarakhand State, it would be pertinent to read about its colourful past. It formed part of the “ Shah Haroonpur” region of Delhi Sultanate circa AD 1211. Changing hands numerous times, Saharanpur District came into the possession of the British East India Company with the Doon Valley as its crown jewel. Grounded on the salubrious environs of the Doon Valley and its cantonments at Dehradun, Chakrata and Mussoorie, ‘ the son of the soil’, Dinesh has been able to provide a unique glimpse of his times and trace his family ancestry all the way back to circa AD 1628.
