Jinnah by Jaswant Singh
LORD MOUNTBATTEN: I TRIED EVERY TRICK I COULD PLAY... TO SHAKE JINNAH S RESOLVE .NOTHING WOULD MOVE HIM FROM HIS CONSUMING DETERMINATION TO REALISE THE DREAM OF PAKISTAN...THE DATE I CHOSE (FOR INDEPENDENCE) CAME OUT OF THE BLUE. I WAS DETERMINED TO SHOW I WAS MASTER OF THE WHOLE EVENT. JASWANT SINGH HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM HIS HOME IN THE DESERT DISTRICTS OF RAJASTHAN. COMMISSIONED IN THE INDIAN ARMY WHEN BARELY NINETEEN, HE WENT THROUGH TWO WARS WHILST IN SERVICE (1962 AND 1965) BEFORE RESIGNING HIS COMMISSION TO PURSUE A POLITICAL CAREER. HE HAS SERVED SEVEN TERMS IN PARLIAMENT, AND, IN THE BJP-LED GOVERNMENTS OF 1996 AND 1998-2004, HELD CHARGE OF SIX MINISTRIES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, INCLUDING EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, DEFENCE AND FINANCE. REGARDED AS AN AUTHORITY ON INDIAN FOREIGN POLICY AND NATIONAL SECURITY, JASWANT SINGH IS AMONG THE MOST RESPECTED NAMES IN THE COUNTRY S PUBLIC LIFE, AND IN THE WORLD OF DIPLOMACY. HE IS DESERVEDLY GIVEN CREDIT FOR DEXTEROUSLY STEERING INDIA OUT OF THE TURBULENT DIPLOMATIC SEAS ENCOUNTERED IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE NUCLEAR TESTS. १९०६ ते १९४७ या कालखंडातील भारतीय स्वातंत्र्याच्या इतिहासातील फारच थोडा भाग आपल्या समोर ठेवला गेला होता. टिळक, गांधी, सत्याग्रह, चलेजाव चळवळ, क्रांतिकारकांचे प्रयत्न... बस्स. एवढेच आपल्याला ठाऊक आहे. परंतु याखेरीज असलेला ९० टक्के इतिहास हा श्री. जसवंतसिंग यांनी संशोधन करून बाहेर काढला. जिनांचे चरित्र अभ्यासताना हे सारे त्यांच्या हातात येत गेले. पाच वर्षे ३० माणसांची तुकडी हे काम करत होती. सुमारे ५००० संदर्भ गोळा केले गेले. त्यातील सार या पुस्तकात एकवटले आहे. ''खादीने कुठे स्वातंत्र्य मिळते?'' नेहरूंचा महात्मा गांधींना सवाल. जिनांनी ठरवून कोलकात्यात दंगल करवली व ६००० हिंदूंची कत्तल घडवली. 'हिंदू-मुस्लीम ऐक्याचे दूत' असे प्रमाणपत्र गोपाळ कृष्ण गोखले यांच्याकडून घेणारे जिना शेवटी हिंदूंचे कर्दनकाळ बनले. आपल्या कौशल्याने, काँग्रेसच्या नेत्यांना भोंगळपणाचा फायदा उठवत, धमकी देत जिनांनी पाकिस्तान निर्माण केले. पुन्हा एकदा दाहीर राजाचा पराभव ८०० वर्षांनी जिना नावाच्या महंमद कासिम याने केला. अत्यंत खळबळजनक माहितीने भरलेले पुस्तक.| SKU | Unavailable |
