contains two sections. Section One narrates a story. It is the style that I
adopt while writing posts on my blog. I believe the regular readers may have
identified it. I tend to narrate a story to tell my point of view or provide
information. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Section two
contains the method to acquire the Free eBooks of Recent Writers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Now it is up to
the readers that how far one is interested in reading my posts. However, I invite
the visitor to read the whole post if he or she is really interested in
acquiring the free books. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">The present post
substantiates my earlier post, which is titled "<a href="https://www.thusireadabook.com/2021/02/grab-branded-free-ebook.html" target="_blank">Grab a Branded Free eBook</a>". <o:p></o:p></p>
<h1 align="center" style="text-align: center;">Section One: The Episode<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">I have written a
book titled “<a href="https://amzn.to/3eff6iJ" target="_blank">A Golden Kit for Self-Publish a Book Written in Hindi (eBookWriting 1) (Hindi Edition)</a>”. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-in.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=IN&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=sumirhistory-21&language=en_IN&marketplace=amazon&region=IN&placement=B07MW7X2Y7&asins=B07MW7X2Y7&linkId=18f80d6c2469c3fb59693c97e73fc38b&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">It is time to
write the next edition of the book. For me, the current edition has shown a
satisfactory sale. Now, I am working on the fresh edition. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKZk03gZ5Lo/YI4uoz5UyaI/AAAAAAAABIk/Fnaznt-wWnwivRJG5-7bri9k2TFJTNREACLcBGAsYHQ/s368/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bcategories.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="71" data-original-width="368" height="39" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKZk03gZ5Lo/YI4uoz5UyaI/AAAAAAAABIk/Fnaznt-wWnwivRJG5-7bri9k2TFJTNREACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h39/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bcategories.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>As per the norms
of Kindle Direct Publishing, I have categorised it in two categories, namely,
Business Industries and Professions which forms one type as per the Kindle
Direct Publishing. The second category in which I have placed is Language,
Linguistics and Writing.<br /> <o:p></o:p><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">I am following
numerous Self-Publishing trainers. Among their countless free advice, they
suggest that one has to ensure the book's sale regularly. The suggestion
involves different dimensions. They are all related to the marketing of the
product. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">A regular sale
is an essential factor in making one successful in the self-publishing field. I
am experiencing it in the case of my portfolio. Many
inside mechanisms are omitted from the present narration. The main thing was
that I had concluded that I should boost the sale of the Golden Kit on
Self-Publishing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">The Kindle
Direct Publishing allows their authors to promote their book free of cost for
five days for a slot of 6 months. As a strategy for my forthcoming edition, I
decided to avail myself the option of free promotion for the Golden Kit on
Self-Publishing. I did not create any advertisement for it. I placed a simple
message on my Facebook page of the Golden Kit that the book would be free for
three days. When the promotion was initiated by Kindle Direct Publishing, the
sale of the book took place. It started reflecting in its ranking in those two
categories. I had placed the book in two categories on Kindle Direct Publishing, which were the
Business Industry and Professions and the language and Writing. In the case of
the Business Industry, it soon found a place in the first hundred Top
Best-Selling List. It remained on the spot One for a day. Such a type of good
happenings related to one's life and thing gives delight. It gives occasion to
know about the other titles also which are popular in that category. There I
located that some highly qualified authors were also listed. The list was about
the Business Industry, and therefore there were titles based on recent
research. The titles of such authors and Business Industry were also available
for free of cost. Some of the titles attracted my attention. In the case of a
dozen of titles, their actual price was more than one thousand rupees. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Now, can one
guess what would I have done? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Before getting
an answer, I say that what I did. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">I downloaded
many of them. There were titles on Agricultural practices and food industry
management. I am not interested in those fields. But there were many books on
digital marketing and related industries. I just grabbed them. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Well, that is
about the episode. Now, if one is interested, then read section Two.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h1 align="center" style="text-align: center;">Section Two: The Method<o:p></o:p></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">There is a
method that can be adopted for acquiring Free Books on Amazon and Kindle Store.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Select any title
of one's interest or search any author who interests you on the Amazon book
store. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Reach the
Product page of the title. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Move down the
Product page of the title and locate the section on Product Details. <o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYbHyJyS-kc/YI4vuJ0Y3QI/AAAAAAAABIs/l0wX_ftu_qY_j0NeGbQf1s5A-VBkqV25ACLcBGAsYHQ/s684/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bproductdetails.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="122" data-original-width="684" height="57" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FYbHyJyS-kc/YI4vuJ0Y3QI/AAAAAAAABIs/l0wX_ftu_qY_j0NeGbQf1s5A-VBkqV25ACLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h57/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bproductdetails.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Under Product
Details, there is an entry on “Best Sellers Rank”. Such an entry is related to
the categories in which the Kindle Books are distributed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Just adjacent to
Best Seller Rank, a link for “Top 100 in Kindle Store” is shown. Click it. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">The web page of the Top 100 in Best Selling books will be shown. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-av5sjM4ou8w/YI4wdiv0SfI/AAAAAAAABI0/XHXKCBC22oQooYSN2dCdT71jtClW0Z5zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s314/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bbestseller.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="113" data-original-width="314" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-av5sjM4ou8w/YI4wdiv0SfI/AAAAAAAABI0/XHXKCBC22oQooYSN2dCdT71jtClW0Z5zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/Screenshot%2B2021-05-02%2Bbestseller.jpg" /></a></div><span style="text-align: justify;">The Best Sellers
in Kindle Store page reached as per the method suggested here, also displays
Top 100 Free set. Enter that page. Then the rest one may do as per his or her own
choice.</span> <p></p><br /><p><br /></p><br /><hr /><a href="https://amzn.to/3nItumG" target="_blank">Catalogue of books written by Sumir Sharma on Amazon</a> <div><br /></div><div> <a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Sumir+Sharma" target="_blank">Catalogue of books written by Sumir Sharma on Google Playbooks</a><hr /></div>Sumir Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597734437144922132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954704763372453407.post-44124791573384122862021-02-21T08:10:00.008+05:302021-05-04T03:26:05.315+05:30Grab a Branded Free eBook<p style="text-align: justify;"> The books in the public domain are freely available on the
internet.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Many sites have raised a bank of such data and share it on
the internet. One of the ways is that one may frame a search phrase composed of
the title of the book and add 'pdf' to it. There are sites like pdfdrive.com
and archive org which will provide the desired result. In addition to that,
some blogs offer pdfs of books based on a theme. Many of them ask for
donations, and their existence in the virtual world remains doubtful. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Kindle Books on Amazon and Google Playbooks provide a large
depository of such books. They put in some efforts to provide a good experience
of reading. Therefore, the title of this post is termed as branded about the
books offered free of cost by Amazon and Google.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If one is interested in a useful reading and knows the
benefit of reading the books of established mind, then some methods can be used
to acquire a treasure of good books free of cost. No doubt, one cannot get a
recently published book by a famous author. However, if one appreciates the
benefit of reading, then the established authors of bygone days can provide
enough entertainment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Free eBooks on Kindle Amazon</h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A reader who is convinced about the benefit of reading may
have a list of earlier writers and titles which she may have desired to read.
Such a reader may visit the Amazon site and, in the search window, type the
name of the author which he or she wishes to read. The result, which may be
obtained, may contain a list of titles by the desired author. Visit the product
site of anyone book and check if there is an author page for that author. On
the author page of the author, one can find a bonanza of free books. Rest one
may guess what to do next. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Free eBooks on Google Play Books. </h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">One has to perform the same exercise on
books.google.com.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the result sheet,
click on the name of the author. In the resulting output, one may find the link
to the preview of the books. Visit the preview section of any of the title. If
the book is in the public domain, then on the left-hand side of the sheet, one
may find a link to the free eBook on Google Playbooks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The list of the writers and their free books on Amazon </h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Presently only ten names are provided. If the trick is
understood well, then one may explore further. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Attention</h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In the above list, one may find many titles are also priced.
One may have to explore the whole bibliography of the author to locate the zero
priced books. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The format on Google playbooks</h2><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The names in the above-given list can also be explored on
books.google.com. In the search result, click the title. One may land on the
page of the book, which provides two options. One can download the pdf of the
book or go for an eBook on Google Playbook. One has to remember that the title
is in the public domain. There also, one may find some books with a price tag.
However, Google possesses a giant bank of such books, free and available in pdf
format. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Kindly Check a substantiating Post titled </p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: #fdebff; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 24px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0.75em 0px 0px; position: relative;">"<a href="https://www.thusireadabook.com/2021/05/a-method-to-grab-branded-free-ebooks-of.html" target="_blank">A Method to Grab Branded Free eBooks of Recent Writers</a>"</h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.amazon.in/Sumir-Sharma/e/B0797H8M41/" target="_blank">Catalogue of books written by Sumir Sharma</a> on Amazon</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/author?id=Sumir+Sharma" target="_blank">Catalogue of books written by Sumir Sharma</a> on Google Playbooks</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>Sumir Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15597734437144922132noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954704763372453407.post-27865864094530511192021-02-07T15:09:00.008+05:302021-05-05T05:41:06.981+05:30क्या स्वयं प्रकाशन लाभदायक व्यवसाय हो सकता है?

<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to read this book for a long time. Many scholars
had quoted Gurcharan Das. The references to the book had attracted my
attention. Therefore, I wanted to read this book. I did not read it for a long
time. The price was too high, or I did not have the buying power to obtain this
book as I did not find it of immediate concern to me. I am a teacher of
history. I was seeking authors who were the academicians. Gurcharan Das was a
writer, and he was from the corporate world. Secondly, he was writing about
current history and biography. It was nearly a decade back the academicians
like Bipin Chandra wrote '<i>India after Freedom Struggle</i>'. Almost at the same time,
Ramchandra Guha came out with '<i>India after Gandhi</i>'. I read both of them. That was
expected of me. Gurcharan Das work did not qualify the criteria of the
selection list. However, there were references to his autobiography in some
writings talking about history. I read '<i>Marwaris</i>' recently. There are numerous
references to Gurcharan Das. On one fine day, I casually rechecked the book's
availability in the Kindle section of Amazon. I found that the price was within
my reach and I bought it. It was during the reading of Marwaris that I did it.
I had not completed the reading of Marwaris when I started reading this book
in-between. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A history teacher has read the book by Gurcharan Das. The
teacher had already read many references to Gurcharan Das in many essays from
academicians. Now, the teacher had a first-hand experience to go through the
contents. A history mindset was trying to read a reminiscence of a writer who
had experienced the corporate world at the topmost level. The writer of <i>India
Unbound</i> had lived a life of a corporate head in the field of fast-moving
consumer goods (FMCG). The trade goods are consumed by a common, unknown,
struggling to survive human beings and the people from the elite classes. The
people dealing with such goods cater to the whole spectrum of the social
classes. They have their experiential learning of the activities on the ground
as they happen. The things which happen is history. They may not be
academician, but they observe history as it has to be observed. The only
difference is that a historian works in an archive or with the already existing
data. The experiential learner has to learn to follow the data as it comes in
touch with his senses. Such a learner may be an academician or CEO of an FMCG
company or a writer. If he is scientific in his temperament, he knows how to
select the relevant data and then put it to formulations guided by an ideology
or just pure analytical skills and formulations to derive a conclusion that can
be used by practitioners from different fields of human activity. (Not by the
scientists dealing with forces covered under the subject of physics and related
sciences.) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After reading the book, I will not call it an autobiography
of the writer. How can it be that when the author was hardly 55 years old? It is an introspection guided by his critical evaluation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book has three sections. They are as follows. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part one – Our Spring of Hope – 1942-65<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part two – The lost generation – 1966-91<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part three – The Rebirth of Dreams 1991-99<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The above-mentioned brief is the table of content. In the
part-three, the content refers up to July 2000. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book was released in 2000. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The edition which I have read contains an additional chapter
which is titled Afterword 2007. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The edition is 15 Anniversary Edition. An impressive essay
has been added in the year 2014. However, the book remains
confined to 2000. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the end of the book, there are Notes, and it is recommended that the
reader should also go through the notes. It has developed as a footnote
reference. It is given in a unique way and does not follow the prescribed method of
academic papers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Acknowledgement section also deserves the reading. It
mentions leading scholars from economics, sociology, history, journalism,
social workers and political scientists. It is needed to get a correct glimpse
of the whole work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must be read along
with the Notes section. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will borrow the author's phrase to call it a 'personal
account of events and ideas' of the author about Indian history. It should not
be called an autobiography. It is a personal account of ideas about a
particular period with India as a central stage. The component of 'personal
events' has to be dropped. They are used as garnishing over the pudding. Therefore, it is not a biography as such. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I am asked to recommend this book for reading, then my
suggestions will be as follows.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will ask the student of history who would like to study
the historiography of the Colonialism in India and its impact on Indian history to read
the first section of the book which is called ‘Our Spring of Hope’. A similar
survey can be done through the book of B. R. Tomlinson. In the book of Tomlinson, one can find all the
author's perceptual thinkers whom he has sought to develop his personal account of ideas for the
first section. In addition to that the Cambridge Economic History of India by
Dharma Kumar and Meghana Desai, the students of Irfan Habib, Volume II can be read to know the actual drift of the discourse of Gurcharan Das. The author had questioned Irfan Habib's thesis in the Notes about India's economic situation
at the advent of the East India Company. The author claims that Bipin Chandra had gone
through the manuscript of the book. Irfan Habib and Bipin Chandra had strongly
contested Morris D Morris's views as given by the last-mentioned scholar in the
Cambridge Economic History of India. Even then, the author had questioned the thesis. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the case of students who want an economic and a sociological view of modern India after Independence, I would recommend that
they read the second section of 'Lost Generation'. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Section three is a set of essays which contains the
personal views of the author. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the whole, the author has skirted away from the political events of
Modern India after Independence. There are many issues which can be pointed out
here wherein the author had just steered away from studying the impact of the
working of democracy during the period called by him 'Lost Generation'. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book appeared in 2000. If I am right then by
2005, Bipin Chandra and Aditya Mukherjee (A historian who has shifted from economics)
wrote the book India after the Freedom Struggle. In 2007, Ramchandra Guha came
with his India after Gandhi. In his book, Ramchandra Guha has made a pertinent
observation that the study of history in Modern had stopped with 1947. After
that, history has been studied by the faculty of Economics and Sociology. The
book by Gurcharan Das could have been before the eyes of Prof Guha while making
such observation. If one reads the books by Guha and Bipin Chandra, the study
gap will be clear.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Gurcharan Das has given the thesis that the rise of
Democracy and Capitalism are two historical forces which should have developed in
India in synchronization. The industrial revolution had not rightly taken place in India. In place
of the Industrial Revolution, the revolution in the service sector has taken
place and even that after 1991. He had passed this judgment without considering
the significant historical developments that had taken place during the period
of the Lost Generation. He mentioned the Emergency and Mandal Commission but did
not elaborate much on giving that where had the democracy failed. Actually, at
every stage, he had avoided discussing the major political issues faced by
India. He had tried to collect only Economic and Sociological ideas for that
period. One of the reviewers on Amazon had expressed his dissatisfaction on the
Caste System in India, which stands as a single chapter in that section. There
are many gaps of a similar kind. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Gurcharan Das is a Management Guru. He had headed P&G at
the highest level. He is an active columnist in a leading newspaper. He is
maintaining his website also. How far he has given lessons on Management in this book, is an
issue which only a management person can tell. It is another thing that he had
recollected many anecdotes of his life when he tried to promote Vicks Vaporub
as a management trainee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the third section, Gurcharan Das had tried to draw a
picture of emerging India. He has talked about the success stories of the
Indian entrepreneurs. He has talked about Ranbaxy. But he is mum about the
failure of Fortis, the Religare and the Vial of Lies or Anil Ambani or Satyam. The
author has mentioned that he is being asked to write its second part also. But
I believe that he will not do that. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyways, it is a good book.</p>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With this book, I have released two books on Google
Playbooks directly. It means that these books are not available at Amazon. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the significant reasons for abstaining from releasing
this book on Amazon is that these books are without any charges to the buyer on
the Playbooks. I intend to keep it free for some time. It can not be done on
Amazon. One has to approach them and put your case to make your book free. It
is what I have learnt from my reading of some books which are written by such
authors who also run coaching courses for the writers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are many reasons for keeping it free. The books are
mainly textbooks. They pertain to the specific syllabus. They are not major
work. Their readers have a specific need, and the books are framed with that
need in mind. They are meant for the students. Therefore, there are many
reasons and constraints which do not allow to keep the price on them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The other reason is of formatting. In the case of Kindle Publishing,
I have faced some problems. It looks nice that when one formats the book on
Kindle Create, nothing much is required to be done after that. However, the
formatting takes time on Kindle Create. When one writes a manuscript, different
methods are adopted. A Non-Fiction writer deals with an argument, or with some
facts and data; such issues are dealt with separately. It is at a later stage
that the content is built in the main manuscript, and organic unity is imparted
to the whole manuscript. Through all such efforts, a writer reads the
manuscripts again and again. During the process, the author develops his signature
style in which the author formats the manuscript. When the author is satisfied
with the manuscript, and he moves to publish it on Kindle Direct Publishing, it
is my understanding the safest bet is to go through Kindle Create software. In
Kindle Create Software, many aspects of the style are demolished in the Kindle
Create which one has used in MS Word. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Anyhow, I have not abandoned Amazon. I will not do that. I
am presently going with Google. There is another crucial reason behind it. In India,
if you insist on a particular matrix, then you are marked as doing PR for a particular
group. Secondly, you can not direct anybody to follow a specific path. Google
is popular in India. In India, it is the dominating narrative which has the right
to be called the true intellect. So, the best thing is Google, and so I go with
Google. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The book is not presently available on Amazon and Kindle. I have not published it through Kindle Direct Publishing. All my earlier books were first published on Kindle Direct Publishing. However, this time I have picked Google Books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is apparent from the title of the book that it is a part of a series. I am going to publish the remaining part of the series very soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The publishing of the book on Google Play Books is a pleasant experience. However, it has to be recognized that the skills of changing a manuscript into a printable book format are acquired while working with Kindle Direct Publishing. Hence, the credit goes to KDP for imparting the skill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me collect the finer points of Google Playbooks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pricing:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The pricing is a crucial aspect in self-publishing. In the case of Google Play Books, you can continue to sell your book free of cost for weeks together. You do not have to contact the Google people to make such changes. In the case of KDP, the free period is allowed only for five days for a slot of six months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The second important aspect of pricing is that you can fix it at any amount. One wants to sell the book for ₹1/-. One can do it. In the case of KDP, it is not there. In the case of KDP, your lowest price can only be ₹ 49/-. If it is reduced, then it is the prerogative of KDP.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Response Time:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The response time in the case of Google is quick. They ask for 24 hours. However, the changes happen in less than one hour. For a writer, who is a self-Publishing author, the feature is really useful. A writer can not work by carrying the weight of luggage of pending tasks. It acts as a dampener.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">KDP people are also fast. However, in some cases, I had to follow them up for the required changes. One of the issues is still pending for the last six months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Simpler Uploading:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The uploading process for Google Books is simple. No doubt, there are hidden intricacies. Once, one has understood those intricacies; then it is a smooth ride.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The KDP uploading process is also simple. It passes through three stages. They claim that it will take less than 5 minutes to publish your book. However, that is not true. It takes time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Real-Time Backup:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Google chat feature is a commendable one, and the team behind it quite knowledgeable and intuitive. You can get real-time solutions from them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the case of KDP, you have to write them an email. You can talk to them on the phone on a real-time basis. However, there remains the problem of time zone difference. Secondly, I have never tried that channel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-size: 24px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the whole, it is a pleasant experience with Google Books publishing. I have seen that they participate in getting to an effective display. Well, that is my view. It is another thing that I do not appreciate their e-marketing matrix under Adword programme. I have even doubted their analytics which they present. However, presently, I am quite appreciative of their Google Play Books. Is it not?</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #0e101a;">Ramchandra Guha is an established historian from India and
presently a writer who adopts a narrative style of writing history.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">I have avoided writing
reviews on the work of highly reputed writers, and probably I have an
inferiority complex. I fear that while commenting on the scholarship of an
expert, I may not betray my ignorance and inapt learning.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">However, I have ventured
to overcome my shortcomings and picked this task to comment on this book.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">In the historiography of
India, Ramchandra Guha is identified with the Subaltern Group. Subaltern Group
is influenced by the thoughts on writing a history of Erick Stokes. The Indian
scholar Ranajit Guha was influenced by his lecture and started a brand of
Subaltern studies in the form of a series of essays. It is considered to be an
exclusive group. The scholars of high calibre with good fortune and research
abilities are given entry to their circle. The Subaltern School belongs to the
Marxist tradition of writing history. They are influenced by the idea of
history by Marx and Gramsci.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">In a book which I have
written on <a href="https://amzn.to/2WmvTaV" target="_blank">Historiography of Modern India</a>, I wrote, “Marxist historian does not
mean that the scholar is a member or a follower of any communist political
association. The Marxian methodology follows the dialectic materialism. The
theory can be as a tool of the research methodology even by a non-communist
scholar.” (<a href="https://amzn.to/39ZAofu" target="_blank">Sharma, Sumir. </a></span><em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="https://amzn.to/39ZAofu" target="_blank">Essays
on Modern India Historiography</a></span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="https://amzn.to/39ZAofu" target="_blank"> (KindleLocations 1005-1006). Kindle Edition</a>.) There was a reason to make such an
observation on the Marxist historians. Most of the Marxist historians and their
allied group proudly claim themselves to be real Indians. They raise many such
issues and give such interpretations that they became a target of fierce
criticism by the Nationalist and Fanatic Hindu groups. It was not a surprising
thing that Dr Guha, a Padam Bhusan decorated scholar, was arrested recently
during the protest against the Citizen Amendment Act 2019. (Refer to the
report: </span><span style="color: #4a6ee0;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/ramachandra-guhas-detention-in-bluru-further-inflames-public-anger-against-caa/articleshow/72894186.cms" target="_blank">timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/ramachandra-guhas-detention-in-bluru-further-inflames-public-anger-against-caa/articleshow/72894186.cms</a></span></span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">) Well, he was picked and released on the same day.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">Dr Guha is a world-known
scholar on environmental history. In India, it is more famous as the Chipko
Movement started by Vinoba Bhave, a Gandhian leader and Medha Patekar.
Ramachandra Guha is also identified for his work on Contemporary History of
India, a field which is not yet popular among the universities of India. One of
my students, who is seeking to start research in Contemporary History, has yet
not found a guide in contemporary history. In one of his books, Dr Guha has
rightly observed that the Indian history ends with August 15, 1947, and
succeeded by works of Sociologist and Political science. Move around in any
university, and one may quickly come across a Medievalist, but it isn't very
easy to find a guide in the field of contemporary history. I dare to say that
with a strong stance.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">The book is mainly a
monograph. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">There is only one
chapter in the book. One may read it in less than one hour. The monograph on
the subject merely forms the 30 per cent of the whole book. The Prologue takes
one-third part of the book by the writer. The Prologue and not the Preface is
the feature of the works of Dr Guha. His books have long Prologue. The other
one-third part is given to bibliographic essay and an acknowledgement.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">Dr Guha belongs to
Subaltern group. They believe in the fieldwork and use Eco metrics, or one may
say Clio Metric to derive their conclusion. But, Ramchandra Guha adopts a
narrative method of the old school. He is the best in his trade. Therefore, you
will be able to read this monograph in one sitting and complete it in an hour
or a little bit more.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">MacMillan publishes many
of his books in paperback form. Penguin has published this edition in eBook
form. His works are available both on Kindle and Google Playbooks.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">While formatting the
present volume, the Publisher has missed some aspect of e-formatting. There is
no preface in the book. Dr Guha writes Prologues but no Preface. His Prologues
are quite long. He writes a separate section as an acknowledgement in which he
writes about his collaborators which is generally given in Preface. In the
Prologue, he builds the background for his main work. His Prologue is always in
a narrative style as if he is going to start some novel. In the section, he
writes about his methodology and game plan. For uninitiated, he may sound as if
he is talking too much about himself. But, he has it as a method to provide the
historian's mindset as he works to write his work. The Publisher has not taken
care of it. Dr Guha has mentioned itself in the Bibliography section that how
the people from Penguin pushed him hard to bring out enchanting writing. But
the Publisher has created a Preface section in the Table of Content – TOC which
does not exist. A quotation by Mahatma Gandhi is marked as a Preface. Is it so?
I do not think so.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">A Map section is
created. But it has lost its purpose the way it is formatted.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">The Bibliography is
termed as “A Note on Sources”. It is so long that one starts wondering that if
it was such extensive research, the author has given a very less material in
the actual body of the book.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">The actual book is
termed as Middle Caste, Middle Rank, and it is the only chapter. It traces the
history of the parents of Mahatma Gandhi in Porbandar up to the day when Gandhi
Ji left India for London.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">In the monograph, the
historian is successful in sketching the social environment in which Gandhi Ji
was nurtured in his earlier years. It is strongly recommended that readers
should not skip the footnotes. One may read it in one go without referring to
the footnotes. The author writes it in an effortless but effective style. One
keeps on moving from one page to another. A reader virtually glides through the
pages. Nothing is overloaded or sensational weaved into the different episodes
of the life of Gandhi Ji. But, even then, nearly all the aspect of life and its
turfs and ebbs are nicely sketched in words. The author claims to have used
some new documents in writing it. I believe that many people would find some
further information even in this small monograph. But one must seriously read
the Prologue to fully appreciate the structure of the content which refer to
the society and people around Gandhi Ji among whom his earlier days were
fabricated. I wonder that the research scholar has not made some chapter in it.
He has given only one episode. I know that it is a part of a bigger work. But
even then, there is every possibility of making some chapters even in this
book. The period of Porbandar and Rajkot can be separated. The schooling and
later days of academic years in India can make a separate episode.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span data-preserver-spaces="true"><span style="color: #0e101a;">The scholar has detailed
how this book has gone under scrutiny before appearing in its present form. He
knows better about making chapters in this monograph.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I
have enjoyed reading his book. His other books on contemporary history are
spread over 800 pages, and I am still reading it. I am going to buy the next
section of the series on Gandhi Ji. I may come up with further views on his
work as I complete my reading.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I had stopped downloading the free books from Hourly History for some time by now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Hourly History publishes two titles every week and makes it available free for two days. Every Friday, the subscribers get an email on the fresh arrivals. In addition to fresh new titles, some other titles are also made free. The audiobooks of many titles are also provided free of cost.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It was nearly two years back that I subscribed to their newsletter. I downloaded free books regularly for some time. I even wrote reviews on those books on my blog. In the case of two or three titles, I also posted a comment on the book product page on Amazon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Gradually, I became disinterested in their titles. From the very beginning, I was critical of their content. I hold the same objections even now.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I gradually got disinterested because, in some of the emails, I did not get an offer of any new title as I had already downloaded many of them. There were some repeat offers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another cause of disinterest was that I was not able to appreciate the contents of some of the titles. The titles are generally biographies or trends in the history of a country. The main thing is that if you know something about a personality or an event, the reading of the title helps you to remember about the personality or the event. If your knowledge is more than what the writer of the title was able to tell, then you do not appreciate the content.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have read many of their titles. I have posted reviews on some of the titles. But all the titles were not of much interest to me as I did not find the content adding to my information or understanding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In spite of disinterest which I had gradually developed, I was impressed by their ability to frame the chapters. That had kept my interest alive in their publication and downloaded many of their titles. I read their titles but did not post any review on my blog or commented on their product page on Amazon.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On the whole, I was amused by the idea of Hourly feature of the series. Each book is generally spread over 40 to 50 pages. You can easily read them in one hour. On the whole, they are small pamphlets which are called books. The idea of smallness did not attract. Somewhere, it went against my perception of a good book. The counting of pages and words for me can never be the standard of judging the level of a book. The content should be written with responsibility. The language should be lucid. The author should be allowed to demonstrate his skill with words to express an idea. He may be brief in writing an opinion. He may be entitled to spend wordy fire to exhibit his art. But to restrict something to the few numbers of pages did not attract me. Gradually l learned that it was not only they who were doing that. Even Oxford University Press was indulging in such a type of product in the Short Introduction Series. I appreciate the brevity of expression, but the limit of pages or time for finishing a reading did not attract me as a standard of quality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Recently when I received the email from the Hourly History, I clicked it open. I found that the structure of the body of the email has changed. There was a link to a website. On visiting the website, I found that it was more elaborative and informative about the Hourly History activity. The link to the website is given below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="https://www.hourlyhistory.com/" target="_blank">LINK of the HOURLY HISTORY WEBSITE</a><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is prominently written at the website that the Hourly History is about the “Concise history books that you can read in one hour”. It is their USP.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One can learn from the details provided on the website that the Hourly History has published 229 as on February 8, 2020. It further tells that the Hourly History works with authors from all over the world. That is quite revealing. They do not tell the name of the authors. They claim that the author is Hourly History. But now they have accepted that they are more than one person. It is discernible to a critical reader from the narrations in different books. It is not the work of a single person. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is one of my other objections that they call themselves as writers of History, but they do not follow some of the basic norms of history. They do not reveal the source of their information. They give full play to the creative writing norms, but that is not meant for the history writing and literature. No doubt, History is also literature. A history book has to be written in a way that it gives an interpretation and observation. They perform that task. But it cannot be called history. They are just telling stories and using the term History for their accounts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
On their website, the Hourly History has openly revealed that it is working from Ireland. Earlier it was not prominently shown in their emails. One could have learned about the place of origin only after minute scrutiny of the body of the email. Now, it is open that it is operating from Dublin, Ireland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After a long time, I have downloaded another book from the email list.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I acquired the book titled "Subhas Chandra Bose: A Life From Beginning to End".<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One can go through the preview from the embed review given below.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing fascinates me that the Hourly History produces many titles which are specific to Indian History. Most of their titles are on European History, American History and the Middle East History. It seems that there is a writer on their panel who has good knowledge of Indian History.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Hourly History has spelt the name of Netaji as Subhas. Being an Indian, I may spell it as Subash. I am not sure how would a Bengal native would pronounce his name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are eleven chapters in the book. The whole book is completed in 37 print pages. Does it fascinate any reader?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In 37 pages, the writer has brought out an image of Netaji. Many readers would not like to appreciate the version and picture which the essays depict. The writer has taken up the issue of the political conflict between Gandhiji and Subash. The author has also touched upon the personal life of Netaji. The childhood of Netaji has also been given a peculiar touch within the background of Bengali milieu.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A comment by the writer fascinated me, which he made about the correspondence which took place between Subash Chandra and his father. The writer found the contents of the letter as highly explosive, and he expressed astonishment that it did not attract the attention of the colonial government who had the policy of screening such literature and letter. Well, the writer has given his version.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The writer has used imagination to narrate the episode of the death of Subash Chandra in the air crash. Where did he found the description of his death? The author has not revealed that. It is another feature of the Hourly History books that in case of some titles, the writers demonstrate their imaginative skill at their best. A similar example can be suggested by mentioning the title on Rasputin. Some of their writers are probably good novelist or screenplay writers. It is my view.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It took me a long time to close the reading of Open Secrets.
The full name of the title is Open Secrets – the Explosive Memoirs of an Indian
Intelligence Officer by M K Dhar.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The book contains thirty-three chapters and a long Prologue.
It was the contents of the Prologue, which held me long. I developed an
impression that the author was a self-righteous person who intends to guide the
state on the methods of running an intelligence-gathering machinery and police
administration. It made me learn something about the author from the book
details, and I learned that it was written by an IPS officer who had worked for
IB for a long duration. I do not know the civil services rules, but according
to the writer, he was allotted West Bengal Cadre. He was earmarked during his
training period for Intelligence work, and after spending some time as a police
officer in West Bengal Districts, he moved to Delhi and got absorbed in IB. He
was forcibly retired from the services during the tenure of Prime Minister
Narsimha Rao for fumbling with the ISRO espionage case. Anyhow, I continued the
reading. I had received this book free of cost for being a Prime Member scheme
of Amazon. I earmarked it for reading on a Tab during my official duty where it
provides a long duration of inactivity. That became the cause of taking too
much time for reading this book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Like the author, I have already talked too much about
myself. However, I enjoy the freedom of saying whatsoever, and I want to say,
as I am posting it on my blog. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Before I write further, I recommend the reading of this
book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The readers can look into the preview of the book given
below. <o:p></o:p></div>

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="550" src="https://read.amazon.in/kp/card?asin=B00888HWLQ&preview=inline&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_K3olEb9HJ7Z24&tag=sumirhistory-21" style="max-width: 100%;" type="text/html" width="336"></iframe> <br />
<hr />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author had discussed such issues of Indian politics at
the national and international level, which were new for me. I believe that it
may be same for all such readers who believe in reading a quality material that
can be entertaining and informative.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I learned about the East India separatist problems in detail
for the first time. The author worked as an intelligence operator of India in
Manipur and Nagaland. I can not authenticate all the information about the
social and economic aspect of those regions, as everything was new to me. The
author seems to have first-hand information about the tribes of East India. He
knew about their culture, social structure and their mindset. Therefore, the
reader who is interested in East India issues after the Independence of India,
the book will be highly beneficial. The general public should also read the
text to get the full definition of India.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The case of Sikkim was another addition to my knowledge
after reading the book. The issues related to Punjab were quite refreshing, and
I can authenticate the information provided in case of Punjab as I have lived
through the tumultuous period of Punjab. Some of the information was new to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, the information on India and Pakistan relation,
the relevance of Canada in the matter which is still an important issue was
quite an addition to my understanding. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author of the book had worked under the tenure of
Jawahar Lal, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Vishwanath Partap Singh and Narasimha
Rao. He made many generalisations based on history and gave an incisive
observation on the history of Modern India. No doubt, he was an IPS officer
with good family and educational background.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author has adopted a literary style in writing each
chapter. Every chapter begins with a quotation. Some of the episodes have a
touch of a novelist. Somewhere one feels that he is writing as per the manual
of the literary styles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author has tried to hide many truths. He was probably
under a constraint to give only clues about some of the people who were in
power. However, in the case of Buta Singh and Zail Singh, he is quite open in
the later chapters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author has tried to project himself as a man of high
moral stands and refined virtues. He is open to reveal that he has a liking for
and linkage with RSS. He has identified many RSS stalwarts about whom the
present generation does not know. He claims to be an acquaintance of Dhirubhai
Ambani and holds him and his family in high esteem. An intelligence operator
has taken sides and became judgemental. I do not know how a more mature reader
and knowledgeable people would evaluate it. The author had tried to convey that
he had written this book to start a debate in the country. I have my views and
a new reader of this book have his views.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The author has written another book with the same opening
title but the subtitle of that book is India’s Intelligence Unveiled. Apart
from that, there are some more titles to his name. Probably, they are being
made available by his Mainak Dhar. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mainak Dhar, another writer, who is the son of the author and
found mention in the book, is also an author. His books are also available on
Amazon and from Booksellers. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book "Subconscious Mind Power" written by James Thompson is worth recommending for the readers who enjoy reading self-improvement books. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It contains merely 31 pages. One can easily read it in one hour. It does not contain any technical terms or further research. It is written on the basis of experiential observation. It is a discourse without any appeal to any fixed belief system. It contains practical advice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is meant for both kinds of people whether they are believer or atheist. It does not mention or cite any scientific research result. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The author has given a bibliography which contains more titles from where similar guidance can be taken. No doubt, he also invites you to join his site. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Presently it is free of cost. It does not cost you any money. You have to invest merely 60 minutes in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Prologue<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It is a reposting of an article which I have written and
posted on my <a href="https://author-sumir.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Author Page</a>. It is an answer to set of questions which I have come
across on different platforms. It is an opinion. <o:p></o:p></div>

There are many apprehensions and dilemmas on the saleability of books with which a self-publishing writer wrestle. They are the cause of forming such questions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will the book sell?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
2. How will one sell the book?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
3. How will the writer advertise his book? How much has to be spent on such activities?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Let me begin with a display of the report of my sales which had taken place in the last thirty days up to November 23, 2019.<o:p></o:p></div>

Allow me to present my analysis on display. I am not a statistician (I envy them, and I do not know much about statistics). I direct your attention to the arrows in the display.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The arrows are aimed at three countries, namely India, America and Germany. These were countries where my books were bought. I substantiate it by adding that I am from India and write with an Indian audience in mind.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Look at the titles which were sold. They are five.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To achieve the figure for sale for November 2019, I have adopted following means.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
1. I regularly posted on the multiple blogs on the titles. I<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>have published four books in the last sixty days. The posts on them provided information on the release of the titles. One of the titles is an older one. It is a well-received title by now. I keep on writing about the subject matter in that book on my blogs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
2. I have availed the services of Amazon Advertising. I have started ad-campaign in the category of sponsored items.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
3. I have developed three pages on specific titles on Facebook. I posted separately on each page.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
4. I post the information on my timeline on Facebook.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
5. I have availed the Free download campaign of Amazon only for two days. I did not promote this campaign.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
6. I have not availed the Google Advertising. I find it cumbersome. I have not developed faith in their results.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For achieving the above results, I have not made any special efforts. I have incurred a cost of nearly ₹ 200.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from the above-mentioned sale, there was sale in Kindle Unlimited also. The collection from KNEP is never much. It has remained less than ₹ 100 per month for the last twenty-four months. However, I believe if the books were read in that programme, it was a result of the marketing and advertising pointed out earlier.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In brief, to promote my books, I have used the following three methods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
1. Blogging<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
2. Facebook<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
3. Amazon Advertisement<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>My Impression</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For me, the fascinating thing is that my titles are sold across the borders. The copy sold as a paperback. Some months back, and that was in July, another paperback was bought in Japan. The books were sold in America and Canada. I do not find any possibility of a sale for reprints within India. The main reason is that the prices become too high because of the customs charges and courier expenses. In Europe and America, it is generally less than 10 Dollars or Euros. Secondly, the paperbacks are manufactured on those continents, and they have simpler customs regimes. Apart from that, the ebooks have been sold on Amazon.com, and that could include a more prominent geographical region. All this had been achieved with the help of marketing and advertising methods mentioned earlier.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I hope that this analysis may have answered the question with which this article has begun. To be specific, I state that the book sells if you adopt some substantiating marketing and advertising methods.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the case of writing posts on the blog, it should not hold any writer for making such an effort. The writing is the actual nature of the writer. The writer may write his book. The writing of a post on a blog is also an act of writing. It compliments his actual activity. Therefore, writing a post on a blog is not a wasteful activity. If one writes, then only a reader will get a chance to read. I must bring in a recent survey from <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/print-readership-in-india-jumps-4-4-to-425-million-in-two-years-report-119042700079_1.html" target="_blank">MRUC</a>, which states that the readership of printed news media is increasing. Their readers are there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Now the issue of selling of the books. I believe that who is bogged down by apprehensions of the possibility of finding a buyer is the victim of their thinking. They have to grow out of binding of their region. They have learned about a peculiar process of impression development in mind while living a particular society. They have to expand beyond their social limits. There may be intelligent and successful people in a social system which force you to follow a set course of success. You learn that you have developed this mindset in a particular ecosystem. You have to burst out the chains of their ecosystem and set yourself free. BREAK Free. Then only you can frame the right questions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The evaluation based on the actual profit made is a reliable criterion. Even I want to earn a lot of money. Who does not? But, for a Self-publishing, you have to check the questions which you frame. Become aware of the process which formed that question. After that, you must learn to learn. Yes, learn to learn. Do that on your own. Therefore, the principle is to learn on your own. It requires a different type of formation process. You have first to learn, that to be scientific, it does not mean that you get the reports of the scientific associations. They are good. But, your dependency on the reports only for the results is not okay. Being scientific does not mean to collect a large quantity of data. That is one of the methods. But you must learn another way of a scientific approach, and that is experienced by doing an activity. That will change the diction and form of a question.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have not stopped reading. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have not stopped writing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have not remained away from this blog. I had watched it
regularly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have not stopped blogging. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have read new books during the period of absence from this
blog. I consider reading and writing complementary to each other. I have
written a post on my <a href="https://author-sumir.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Author Platform</a> on this aspect. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When I read a book, I always write on it in my diaries. It
is another thing that after migrating to the Kindle reader, I have been writing
in the note section of the Kindle. However, that cannot be called writing. I
write private notes on whatsoever I read. It is a rule, but sometimes, I do not
maintain my practice. However, I have observed that making small notes on
Kindle is also a way of writing. The act of writing annotations is one part of
writing and growth of understanding. Many self-improvement writers have
suggested the methods of creating tags while reading. It is a practice which is
followed by highly placed executives, lawyers, journalists, judges, scientists
and others. In short, I am still writing. I have not posted any article for
long on this blog. But I read and write during this period. I have already
revealed in the previous paragraph that I have written on my other blog, which
is titled "<a href="https://author-sumir.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Author Page of Sumir Sharma</a>". No doubt, I have started a new
blog, and it is one of the reasons that I have remained away from this blog.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I want to reiterate one thing. I have remained sincere to my
basic norm and ethic. I read, and I wrote. I would like to emphasis one aspect
on this norm of reading and writing as one thing having two inseparable sites.
There was a paradigm shift during this period. Let me share it here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have reviewed many books on self-improvement on this blog.
Among many readers, there is a doubt about the efficacy and utility of such
titles. It is a different issue. I would instead like to move to the point
which I desire to make here. While living the course of synchronizing reading
and writing, I have already emerged as a self-publishing author. A
self-publishing author has to perform multiple tasks on his own even if he or
she takes up the help of the supporting expertise of others. Borrowing a
message of an editor, who herself is a self-publishing authoress, I found that
such authors have to perform a work of a CEO of a company. They have to attend
to the work of production, which is their first role, then, they do the
publishing, then the marketing and the finance involved in all these activities
and finally no doubt, the actual profit made out of all that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uk4FyvS5tv4/Xb6D20f2UiI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/_ntVzJXcFMg4U7U6u106t3niD8qE5s-kACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/blogdisplay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="267" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Uk4FyvS5tv4/Xb6D20f2UiI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/_ntVzJXcFMg4U7U6u106t3niD8qE5s-kACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/blogdisplay.jpg" width="113" /></a>On being emerging as a self-publishing author, the content
of my reading also underwent a shift. I collected and read books on writing
methods, writing skills, marketing of the books and related issue. During the
course of such a reading activity, I would like to mention the titles of Derek Doepker who wrote “Why Authors Fail – 17 Mistakes Self-published Authors
Make That Sabotage Their Success And How to Fix Them”; “Writing A Book A Week”,
by Alex Foster, “How I Sold 80,000 Books, Book Marketing for Authors” by Alinka
Rutkowska and many other related books and supporting self-improvements. I have
not written any review on them. However, the reading of those books had left
deep scratches on my brain, which influenced my vision of raising myself as a
self-publishing author. There were many suggestions, a bundle of information,
tonnes of data and different facts. I was able to appreciate many things
written in those books.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe I am not
capable or grown enough to value some of the suggestions. Some of the advice, I
think are not practicable for me in India where I live. However, a quantum of
impact was there. I developed an understanding that as a writer, I must connect
to readers through different media apart from the contents of my book. The
aspiration of writing a perfect novel which entraps the attention of the whole
world is an idea which is a delusion. If one can write a book, that thing is in
itself an excellent thing to do. If the book is read even by a half a dozen
readers who are not known to you, then you are a success. On Amazon and through
Kindle, your book is at least open by the members of Kindle Unlimited. Even if,
that happens, then as a writer, you are a success.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
From the churning of words done by other authors on
marketing, I picked the suggestion of connecting to readers apart from your
book. There are numerous methods which are being suggested. Blogging is one of
that. One of the tips is to develop an Author Page or Author Platform. If it is
the message in the suggestion, and if I have understood it rightly, then It was
what I did in-between.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I created two
blogs instead. They are as follows.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

</a></span></span></span><!--[endif]--><a href="https://sumir-book-platform.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Platform of Golden Kit toSelf-Publish the Writings in Hindi</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The blog Author Page is a general blog. Herein, the author
talks to the reader about the topics relating to writing, writing skills, the
methods of writing and related issue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The Platform of Golden Kit is for a specific book of the author.
In the blog, the author discusses the content of the book and issues related to
the activity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
During these developments, I have derived some conclusions.
They may interest many. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have learned that the Self-Improvement books are not an
inferior form of literature as some readers and discussions on this genre
suggest. The style of Self-Improvement books in the genre of Non-fictional
literature is a substantial cerebral activity. It relates to your present-day
life. It provides solutions to the issues and problems which are real.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The second observation is that blogging is not a redundant
thing. Twitter, Facebook, Youtube are the present-day buzz word. They have
created a lot of commotion and blogging is sidelined in the din which has been
raised. The activity has an intrinsic strength which would ensure its
continuity. It is a meaningful activity which has its value. Too many
people have ridden the waves of the cyber sea and raising a noise of their
underdeveloped brains. Thumping the keypad with thumbs are far less productive
than using all the fingers on the keyboard. The input methods may change, but
the discourse which can be given through blogging is far ahead than the rest of
the mediums. Even on Youtube, an over voice is needed. A stream of visuals may
not be liked for long.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As far as the writers and readers are concerned, blogging
can be an excellent platform to interact.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
All such thoughts, readings, writings and activities are the
reason behind my absence from this blog. I am here, and I will continue to post
on this blog.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Vani;">There is a story behind writing the book. Nitish
Sachdeva was my student. He pursued M. A. History course in my college. The
college is affiliated to Punjab University Chandigarh. In the syllabus of
History in the Punjab University, there is no course at undergraduate level which covers the
historiography. Even in postgraduate courses, it was a single phrase of
Historiography was related to the papers which form the part of the course. In the
fourth semester of postgraduate studies, there are two papers related to
historiography and methods of history. It was during one of the lectures,
Nitish Sachdeva expressed the view that the nature of the paper was such that
it should have been taught even in undergraduate classes. After that, he
undertook a survey of the history courses of many universities and came back
with the observation that there were many universities in which historiography
was taught as a separate paper. Secondly, he expressed the view that such a
paper was essential to learn about the actual nature of history. The view of
Nitish Sachdeva is the foundation of the book. The view is further elaborated
in the preface of the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a travelogue but not in the real sense. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For me, it is a kick in the chest
pit of a Pakistani nationalist which could be fatal. The book is a punch below
the nose of an Indian nationalist which could be life-threatening, a spit at
the face of a British nationalist and a reverberating slap on the face of the academicians
at school and higher education stages who decide the syllabus of National history,
political science and sociology. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In order to understand the
content of this small book, one should know that history is very harsh, rude
and blunt if one is a serious learner. Secondly, as per the new trends of
history, Folklores are also the archives for historians. If one is a traditional
historian who believes only in written words and documents, then it is an opinion
of a young Pakistani who is probably from a village near to the village of Ranjha
at Takht Hazara. The author has his education in Archaeology from a university
in Pakistan. For a superficial reviewer
of this book at Amazon site from where I have bought this book for a pittance
as a Prime Member, it is a useless book which merely refers to some places in
Pakistan but does not provide any useful information. It depends upon the intellectual
level of a reader to treat it as per his or her learning level. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The overall length of the book is
not more than 15 to 18 odd A4 size typed pages. However, it is developed into nine
chapters. The book is published in India by Westland Publications Ltd in 2017, which probably
is the same publication which made Savi Sharma a best-selling author. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The content of the book will
tease and tantalise the readers from both sides of the Redcliff line
differently. The language is lucid. It is only at one place the syntax of a
sentence is a bit confusing. The line is reproduced below. <o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
“Out of all of the provinces of
the country, it is Punjab has experienced the greatest Islamization after the
creation of the country.” Haroon Khalid. The Enigma of Pakistani Identity
(Kindle Locations 418-419). Westland Publications Ltd. Kindle Edition.</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the rest of the book, the flow
of the narrative is very smooth, and one can read it in less than one hour. This
book is strongly recommended to the Indian readers provided they have a good
understanding of Indian culture and history. The reader has to overlook the
bias of the author in some places. It will be of interest if this book is
available in Pakistan also. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The author of this book has also published other
books. The author is available on Facebook.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
सवि शर्मा और अमिश त्रिपाठी हाल के ऐसे दो सफल और मक्बूल लेखक हैं जिन्होंने अपने लेखन का प्रकाशन स्वयं प्रकाशन से शुरू किया|</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amazon पांच भारतीय भाषों में प्रकाशन करती है | Amazon हिंदी, गुजराती, मराठी, मलयालम और तमिल में लिखी पुस्तकों का प्रकाशन KDP के माध्यम से करती है |</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amazon ने पहले किताबों को ही बेचने से अपना व्यापर शुरू किया था | 2007 से Amazon ने Kindle नाम का E Reader और KDP शुरू किया था | Creative Space की साहयक Company से Amazon पेपरबैक भी छपता था परन्तु 2018 में उस का काम KDP को दे दिया था | </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2015 में Amazon ने Kindle Create Software प्रस्तुत किया था | 2016 से Amazon ने भारतीय भाषों में भी मुद्रण शुरू कर दिया था | मुझे इस का पता 2017 में लगा और उसी साल मैंने Amazon पर अपनी पहली पुस्तक प्रकाशित की थी | उस पुस्तक का शीर्षक है "<a href="https://amzn.to/2S7KPry" target="_blank">एक कहानी कुछ कवितायें</a> "| वह पुस्तक मूल रूप में एक experiment था | उसी समय से मैंने यह देखा की KDP पर मुद्रण के बहुत से पहलू हैं | उन सब पर जानकारी KDP की Website पर दे रखी है परन्तु वह छे यूरोपीय भाषों में है| अगर किसी पहलू पर अगर स्पष्टता लेनी हो तो KDP केवल यूरोपीय भाषों में ही पत्राचार करने को तैयार थी | </div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
मैंने यह भी देखा की कई लेखकों ने Kindle पर मुद्रण की विधि पर अंग्रेज़ी में पुस्तकें छापी हुई हैं | परन्तु ऐसी कोई पुस्तक सामने नहीं आई जो हिंदी में मुद्रण करने वालों के लिए हिंदी में लिखी हो| यह तथ्य 2017 मेरे सामने था | मैंने ऐसी पुस्तक खुद लिखने की तैयारी कर ली | परन्तु ऐसा करते ही मैं इस मुश्किल में पड़ गया कि ऐसी पुस्तक की रूपरेखा कैसी होगी | उस के लिए कैसा मंथन हुया उसे एक तरफ रखते हुए मैंने प्रतुत रूप में इस पुस्तक की रचना की है | </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
पुस्तक में 15 अध्याय और लेखक का पत्र है | </div>

<div align="JUSTIFY">
The statement is a comment on the book by Sumir Sharma, the author of this blog. The title of the book is “History of Constitution of India: Charter Acts and Company Rule in India”.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
First, let us see the contents of the book.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
It has eight chapters and two Appendix. They are as follows.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 1: The Brief History of the East India Company.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 2: The Regulating Act, 1773</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 3: Pitt’s India Act, 1784</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 4: Charter Act, 1793</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 5: Charter Act, 1813</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 6: Charter Act, 1833</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 7: Charter Act, 1853</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Chapter 8: Act of Better Government of India 1858</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book contains 78 printed pages of A4 size. <strike style="background-color: yellow;">However, it is presently available in ebook format.</strike> </div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
There are two Appendix. In Appendix I, there is an essay on the sources which are used for writing the contents of this book. In Appendix II, the suggestions are provided to make the book more interactive.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book is developed as a textbook. It is written in a narrative style. On every topic, the content is written in point format. For the point format, it is meant that every paragraph explains its main heading. The paragraph is given a heading or a number. It helps in writing the answers in the examination. The purpose is that the readers and the students can quickly develop an answer to any question on the topics explained in the book.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
When it is said that it is written in a narrative style, it means that the facts are given and explained. There is a less number of quotations and references to the document. It is a textbook which aims at helping the students to write an answer with confidence. Such a style of writing helps the student to focus on the core fact which is expected to be written. The author believes that first provide the fact. If the student reproduces the fact, then he or she explains the question. The quotations and references are an inseparable part of history writing. However, liberty is taken while framing the content and this aspect is omitted. It is called a narrative style by the author.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book is written to fulfil the requirements of the students of the Post Graduate course in History of Punjab University. It meets the need of the Paper HIS 213: Constitutional Development in Modern India 1773 – 1947 Unit I and Paper HIS 211: Modern India Political Process, Unit III.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The content of the book is also relevant to the students of Indian Polity and Indian Constitution pursuing the course of Post Graduate in Political Science. It is also suitable for the students of Law course.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The content of the book is equally relevant to General Studies Main paper II. The content provides material for the first section which reads, “Indian Constitution – historical underpinnings, evolution …”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book is also relevant for undergraduate classes honours course.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
There is a need to mention the framework of the first chapter which is "The Brief History of the East India Company". In most of the popular textbooks, this topic is explained. In almost all the books, the story begins with the arrival of Portuguese in India. Many writers have started with earliest times of European history. In the case of this book, the chapter begins with the fundamental question. It has tried to answer that what made England organise a commercial corporation to trade with East Indies. It is followed by a brief survey of the ups and downs of the company up to 1773.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Now, something about the title of this post which is that "Bad formatting has ruined the book". The book is self-published by the author with Kindle Direct Publication. The KDP provides the software to format the manuscript for the book. The author has failed to make the right use of the software.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
Further, there are many mistakes in the use of punctuation marks. In addition to that two or three lines are repeated at some places. This mistake has crept in due to the writing method of the author. The author generally writes his manuscript in Open Source Word processor. Then, he transfers it to MS word sheet. The reason is that KDP software gets added to MS Word as an add-on feature. The author also uses a grammar check software. Therefore, after writing an essay is shuttled between different software to make it readable. In this process, such a fault sneaks in.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
In any case, the author plans to retain this book out on the sale on Amazon. It may help other self- publisher writers to watch for the shortcomings. Presently, I am not going to revise this book. However, I will rewrite it after a duration, and then I will remove the mistakes.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
The book explains the Charter Acts as the historical background of the History of the Constitution of India. It is evident that my next volume will be on the legislation during the Crown rule in India. I will soon publish the relevant next volume. I am presently working on that volume.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
I will also write the Hindi version of this volume and release it in June 2018.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY">
To make this book interactive, I am going to reproduce a part of the book on my blog at undergraduatehistory.blogspot.in. I will attend to their queries related to the content of the book. I am ready to provide pdf copies of individual chapters to any reader free of cost who may require it for printing purpose. The relevant instructions are given in Appendix II.</div>
<hr />
<hr />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
An Update: The Book is now available in Print format also. However, it is available only in the USA, the UK, Demark, Spain, Italy and Japan. For Indians, it will cost too high. Kindly avail the epub format. If any page is required in printable format then kindly email me as instructed in Appendix II of the book. The ISBN number of the printed book is as follows: ISBN-13: 978-1983046834 ISBN-10: 1983046833</div>
<hr />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second Update: The Paperback of the book is now available in India also. However, it is printed in the US and imported by Indian distributors. Therefore, the price is too high. It costs ₹565/- including taxes and courier charges. The link is given as follows:</div>

M. Panikkar.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<hr />
<hr />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before I write anything about this book, I want to share my dilemma. I am a teacher of history at a college level. I am expected to teach according to the requirement of a syllabus. However, by experience, I have found that the understanding which I am developing through regular reading revolts against the central ideas of the curriculum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, there are many aspects of history and especially of Indian History, which I believe the country learns from the textbooks. By now, textbooks have developed into a compilation of some points and narratives which could be easily reproduced by the students to pass the course which they are pursuing at University level. It does not serve any purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thirdly, there is a general notion and view among the teachers that the history or for that matter any subject should be made easy for the students. What does that mean? If you understand and have thoroughly imbibed the concept, then you may demonstrate it in numerous ways. The Make it Easy brigade have obtained doctorates in their subjects. They might have gone through the rigour of the research methods. They might have attained a perception about their thesis which could only be obtained by hard work. Therefore, they were awarded the doctorate. Now, what do they say when they want to make a subject easy for the students? No doubt, they are not expected to train the students to become the research scholars. But, what do they mean to say to make a subject easy to understand? In this efforts, they are more inclined towards the textbooks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While reading textbooks also, one come across gaps in the interpretations and explanations of the historical facts. I had felt this shortcoming when after learning about the Gupta dynasty, there was a sudden decline in the Indian history. In between, a period of Harsha emerges. In that period, the region was saved from the attack of the Huns. Harsha organised five-yearly religious festivals in which he propitiated Buddha idol along with other deities. However, after his reign, the Buddhism virtually died out in India. Now, why was it so? I have some clues about the answers, but there are many issues which are to be told in more clearer manner. History is about the nation, a region, and positively about the 'We the People' with which the constitution begins. But, what is the history of 'We the People'?.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fourthly, the four-unit format had made many chapters redundant. The chapter on Harshvardhan is mostly included in the fourth unit. As a result, no one care to read much about that. There is nothing much to learn in the textbooks, especially in the format in which they are coming up – the so-called easier way of learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fifthly, there is too much stress on regionalism. The main argument or rather the dominant answer by some pundits is that if you do not write about your region, then no one will come from outside to write for you. If you do not write about the history of your region, then no one from other regions will come to write it for you. You are the right source and medium to write about your region, and therefore you have to write about the region. Is India a Union of States or the United States? I do not want the people from Political Science to answer this question. They are living in a world of fallacy and before answering anyone that they should check that why their subject has carried the term Science with it. I may like to read a journalist if I am given a choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now when I came across a monograph on Harsh Vardhan, it was an obvious choice. It was another incentive to learn about K. M. Panikkar. Therefore, I am writing about it with high expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book was published by D. B. Taraporevala Sons & Co. Bombay( a publishing division of TATA sons in those days- not a listed company), in 1922.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It contains seven chapters including the Conclusion. A more detailed description follows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sardar KM Panikkar</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An ardent need is felt to emphasis that K. M. Panikkar, the author had expired in 1963. He was not a Marxist Historian (He defies all the favourite brands of the day.) and should not be identified with a Marxist historian with the similar surname and resembling initials. It was another thing that his daughter was married to a Communist leader. The other Panikkar is a Marxist historian who has generally associated himself with Bipin Chandra group apart from producing his individual works. Sardar K. M. Panikkar was an outright nationalist from South India. As a historian, as he had written in Atam Katha, that the Hinduism was the result of the fusion of Arya and Dravid which remained solid and unscratched under the onslaught of Muslim and European culture or Islam and Christianity. The fusion version of the age-old process which is presently comfortably called Hindu, merely made adjustments and arrangements in the field of society, economy and politics while facing the historical forces. The Marxist K. N. Panikkar would never approve of this theory and its working reality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Content of the Monograph</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The author has called it a Monograph. He has not used the phrases like A short history or A sixty minutes history and similar terms which are now becoming more popular.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are 96 pages in the printed book. The content; the printed material on Shri Harsh Vardhan is spread over 82 pages. As already mentioned, there are seven essays. Six essays are related to Shri Harsh Vardhan. The name of the articles are as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The Political Condition of India in the 6th century. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. The Political Condition of the Reign of Harsh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Harsh – the King. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. The Social Condition of India in Harsha's Time </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Harsh – the Poet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conclusion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The author has acknowledged with great emphasis that the contents of the fifth essay which is Harsh, the poet, is based on the material provided by Pandit Sastry A. D. Harisarma of Cochin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Bibliography Essay – The Seventh Essay</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also contains a bibliography essay. In the bibliography essay the author has discussed the two major primary sources; namely, Harishcharitra by Bana and Yuan Chwang Travels translated by Watter. It is pertinent to observe here, that the New Cambridge history started their publication from 1922 onwards. It is a feature of the New Cambridge publication which the author of each book gives an elaborate essay on the sources used to write his work. In such articles, nearly all the types of sources like primary sources, secondary sources, interviews, journals and other sources are discussed. In case of the essay by K. M. Panikkar, the author has considered only two primary sources. He has given references to numerous other sources, and many of them are primary sources, which are shown at the appropriate places in Footnotes. The essay is exclusively devoted to the two primary sources, which are the main focal point of seeking the information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
K. M. Pannikar started his carrier as a teacher of history. He left that job in between and worked for the Princely States in different capacities. After independence, he accepted the position of a diplomat. He ended his career as an academician. During this period, he wrote many researched based works. The historians, especially the university level scholars, had evaluated him differently. However, if one undertakes an independent evaluation of his work, there is every possibility that the fresh observer may not reconcile with the observations of the experts. His writings may sound as biased and tilted towards Hinduism. However, his scientific temperament is equally apparent in his work. The branded historians are not ready to accept his views probably because they dismantled their strongly held observations. On the reverse side, the writings of Pannikar reveal the gaps in the writing of history. In this work on Harsha, this conflict and debate are apparent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After completing the reading of this book, I have read a book on the historiography of K. M. Panikkar by Tarasankar Banerjee. The title of the book is "Sardar K. M. Panikkar - The Profile of a Historian."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tarasankar Banerjee has written some observations on the writing of K. M. Pannikar as a historian. I have found the following views of Tarasankar Banerjee quite relevant for the book on Harsha Vardhan. They are given below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Observation One</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Panikkar approach to history is not based on a technician's outlook but based on an appreciative and refreshing mind of an idealist and imaginative scholar to whom history was an art and not simply an autopsy of the past. (Sardar Panikkar historiography pp.17)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Observation Two</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the more simpler terms, it has been said of the author in an earlier referred source that Panikkar had a passionately sympathetic and imaginative mind. This very aspect of his analytic mind is depicted in his work on Sri Harsha of Kanauj.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Observation Three</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He wanted to impress upon us is that the compartmentalisation of Indian History tinged with a narrow regional feeling may have a disastrous consequence on the basic unity of Indian culture. (pp 113, Sardar K M Panikkar).</div>
