Amar Chitra Katha/ACK Media, 2008. Softcover. New. Ghanshyam Das Birla was a great son of India. There is hardly an aspect of national life that he did not enrich by his unique business acumen, patriotic fervour and philanthropy born of his deep personal attachment to Mahatma Gandhi. The large industrial empire built by Ghanshyam Das was looked upon with suspicion by the British government in India. They believed that he was financing the freedom movement. Ghanshyam Das Birla came into contact with Gandhi in 1915 and soon developed a close association. He often acted as Gandhi`s emissary to the British government. Ghanshyam Das was deeply influenced by Gandhi and his beliefs. He made substantial financial contributions to the Mahatma`s constructive social welfare programmes. Ghanshyam Das was also closely associated with other important leaders of his times, like Lokamanya Tilak, Motilal Nehru, Madan Mohan Malaviya, Sardar Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru. He was famous for his philanthropy - building hospitals, temples and schools - and he established institutions for the welfare of Harijans (the `untouchable` class), to whom he permitted entry into the several temples built by him. The Birla Education Trust instituted by him is among the largest private endowment funds for education in India. It is not possible to portray in a small book all the aspects of a multifaceted personality like Ghanshyam Das Birla. This Amar Chitra Katha presents some of the more inspiring milestones in his life. Printed Pages: 32., Amar Chitra Katha/ACK Media, 2008, 6, Amar Chitra Katha/ACK Media, 2010. Softcover. New. Shivaji is one of the most inspirational historical figures in contemporary India. This is especially true for the Marathi speaking region to which he belonged. He was born in the 17th century in Western India at a time when the area was under the oppressive rule of the neighboring states of Bijapur, Golconda and Ahmadnagar. Shivaji`s father, a brave general, worked for the Bijapur state and held the rights of a sub-ruler in two districts in south India. Shivaji and his mother were left to administer the district around Pune, for which the family held hereditary ruling rights. Shivaji grew up in an unsettled time when the Deccan was in dispute between the southern Sultanates and the Mughal emperor who ruled in Delhi. Shivaji`s mother tutored him from an early age to take up the cause of the liberation of his people from both the Mughals and the Sultanates. As a young price of an independent small principality, Shivaji collected a loyal band of followers and steadily proceeded to wrest control of more and more forts - the key seats of power. Shivaji`s expansion lead to several battles with the neighboring states in which he prevailed despite a much smaller army through a combination of clever strategy and the support of the local population. Shivaji was one of the first Indian rulers to perceive a threat from European traders and to build a navy to keep them under check. Shivaji finally emerged a popular ruler and in 1674, a grand coronation ceremony was held in Raigad declaring Shivaji the `Supreme King`. The Shivaji-inspired Maratha Empire continued in some form for more than a century after his death in 1680.
