Little did he know how much he would get involved in the country's freedom struggle. Those were the days when the non-cooperation movement had gathered immense momentum and it was in Varanasi that Chandra Shekhar first confronted British authority. After that there was no looking back. Assuming the surname 'Azad' he and his band of revolutionaries did much to awaken in the Indian people the desire for freedom.

His opponents had no answer. They would plot and plan, coax and connive, but the scholar-turned-politician was always a step ahead, confounding both their motives and their ambitions. He led his king, Chandragupta, to greatness, and set his kingdom on the road to peace and prosperity. Then, for generations of future rulers, he compiled a useful guide, the famously canny Arthashastra." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.508 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandragupta.

Pataliputra was its capital. The king had two sons, Ramagupta and Chandragupta." -- Summary from back cover: "Chandragupta Vikramaditya has a special place in history because he proved that the love of power is not all that is needed to create an empire.

It was a journey fraught with dangerous challenges but his chance meeting with the wily Chanakya changed his destiny forever.

Chandrakant, KamalaIndian comics writer |
----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala. "Abhimanyu : Star-Crossed Prince" / retold by Kamala Chandrakant ; artwork, Pratap Mulick. 32 p. in Amar Chitra Katha, no. 533 (1992). -- (Epics & Mythology) -- Introduction (1992 printing) begins: "Abhimanyu, like a shooting star, illuminates the horizon of the Mahabharata epic for a few moments and vanishes in trails of glory." -- Summary from back cover: The Kauravas had made a fateful error. Lusting after their cousins' kingdom, they underestimated young Abhimanyu's determination and ability to defend it. Brilliantly distilled in this handsome and much-loved Pandava prince were his father Arjuna's courage, Lord Krishna's wisdom, and the patience, strength and gentle humility of his uncles. Even as he thwarted his enemies' ambitions, Abhimanyu earned their grudging admiration and a very special place in the saga of the Mahabharata." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.533 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala.

His wife Sudakshina was devoted to him and his subjects loved him. Yet he was sad: he had no children." -- Summary from back cover: "King Rama was special. He was handsome, brave, talented, wise and a devoted son and husband: in fact, he was the most perfect of all men. Born to wealth and power, this hero of the Ramayana was remarkably unspoiled by his good fortune. This is because finely distilled in him were the exceptional qualities of his forefather: Dilpa's single-minded devotion, the warrior skills of Raghu, and the courage and righteousness of the handsome Aja." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.572 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala.

Little did she know that he was Aniruddha, grandson of Krishna. Nor did she ever imagine that their love would lead to a fierce battle between the Yadava forces of Krishna and the demon army of Bana, aided by the wild hordes of Shiva." -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2009 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.663 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala.

Young or old, their devotion and obedience were almost superhuman. Luckily, as described in the Mahabharata, the gods looked kindly on them. After all, these young men had earned the right to happiness." -- Contents: "Aruni" p. 1-7 ; "Uttanka" p. 8-31 -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.652 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala.

Both are the sons of Vayu, the wind god. Hanuman lived in the Tretayug serving Sri Rama while Bheema, a contemporary of Krishna, lived in the Dwaparyug. The Mahabharata narrates the story of an encounter between the two mighty brothers." -- Script credit to Kamala Chandrakant in 2010 printing. -- Subtitle, series and summary from 2010 printing. -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.527 ----------------------------------------------------- Chandrakant, Kamala.

Not only was he handsome and wise, he was also equally adept on the battlefield or in regal court. As this tale reveals, Bheeshma is best remembered for his exceptional honesty and kindness.

Birbal dealt with every tricky situation, every palace intrigue, and every demand of his petulant queen with characteristic aplomb. His gentle tact gave him a unique advantage: he became the all-powerful Akbar's alter ego.

The infant who insisted on claiming the offerings made to the lord had matured into a single-minded Vaishnava. People thronged to him for his happy, simple message of love.

But all attempts to enter temples were thwarted by those who only saw him as a Mahar, an untouchable.

They need a saviour, who, Lord Brahma decrees, will be the son born to Shiva and Parvati. But Shiva, a badly-dressed, untidy, solitary ascetic, seems to enjoy bachelorhood.
