Jharkhand Ke 50 Krantikari
by Sanjay Krishna
When the East India Company entered Jharkhand, it had to face rebellion at every step. From the 18th century till the Quit India Movement of 1942, the land of Jharkhand kept on fighting and the English had to face a hard time, time and again.
The book contains brief stories of some of such famous and unsung heroes. There are some heroes who remained confined to their fields; some were remembered by their society only; some were remembered in the newspapers only on birth and death anniversaries.
This is for the first time that revolutionaries from Chhotanagpur, Singhbhum, Seraikela to Santal Parganas are being remembered here. The list of revolutionaries is very long. Nevertheless, this book is very important for the new generation. These fifty revolutionaries are representatives of five thousand of them.

However, brain consciousness and the ability to speak in the human race clearly made man ahead and superior to other animals. Due to the developed brain and speech power, man entered the field of civilisation. But even in human society, all over the world, different communities did not attain civilisation by developing equally in the same period. Humans of different regions achieved different levels of civilization in different periods.

Jharkhand Ke Veer Shaheed
by Vinay Kumar Pandey
The book entails heroic stories based on the life cycles of sixteen self-renowned freedom fighters of Jharkhand. This is a sad story of those sons becoming extraordinary from ordinary and sacrificing everything to protect the pride of the motherland, they burnt themselves to light such a flame of independence, which spread all over the country and resulted in the country gaining Independence on August 15, 1947. The relevance of these heroic stories is as much at present as it was then. This is because many of the situations described in them are applicable even after 75 years of the country’s independence and are waiting for solutions.

by Rita Shukla
Indian culture, which is enriched with eternal elements, Tulsidal and Ganges water has special importance. According to mythology sources, Tulsi meaning Vrinda purifies the house-courtyard, and fills the aura of the lamp of faith all around, meanwhile, Gangajal is something without which no ritual of Hindu life is complete. The cool touch of Bhavtarini Ganga is the one which gives incomparable happiness and peace.

Adivasi Lok-Samaj
by Narendra
This book is based on the experiences of the author based on his experiences in deep tribal and folk societies. Their smooth and equal coordination, harmony, settlement, daily life and easy pace of different dialects and spontaneous sharing with nature used to be similar even after being separated – both kept nature unconquered. Losing its stability and silence in the last few decades, such sharing in tribal and folk societies is now ending.
