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

cover: "Inspired by Guru Gobind Singh, Banda Bahadur led
the Sikh rebellion against the Mughal Empire. For eight
years, he ravaged the whole of North India. The havoc he

that the Mughals could never restore their administration.
Invasions by the Persian tyrant Nadir Shah and the Afghan
Ahmed Shah Abdali hastened the decline of the once mighty
empire which helped the Sikhs to emerge as the rulers of
Punjab. Banda Bahadur thus paved the way for the foundation
of the Sikh Kingdom." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.734

men and gods. Maya, their gifted architect, had created for
them three cities fortified with iron, silver and gold, and
the great lord Brahma himself had decreed that these cities
would be indestructible, unless struck by a single arrow.
The three cities, known together as Tripura, orbited the
earth, and only once in a thousand years fell in a straight
line, directly one above the other. Would Shiva be waiting
to destroy them with a twang of his deadly bow?" -- Call

and darkness of Kala Pani did not dim his courage. Veer
Savarkar found the most unique ways to motivate his prison

Zarathushtra smiled, and it was predicted correctly that he
would preach love and justice to the world, but would have
a hard time convincing vengeful rivals. Strong in their
faith, his followers are known today as Zoroastrians; also
known as Parsis in India." -- Call no.: PN6790 .I54A5no.738
