India from Curzon to Nehru and after
Durga Das - 1970
This fast-moving, lively and independent account of the politics and international affairs is enriched by intimate, perceptive and far from uncritical sketches of great leaders such as Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, Desai and Patel. Perhaps no other book reminds the reader so firmly that politics, even at its most exalted and dramatic, is about people. Certainly no one who is interested in India, in the history of British imperialism or in the realities of present day Asia can neglect this goldmine of a book.
The Origin and Development of Bengali Language
Suniti Kumar Chatterji - 1970
Complete edition of the pioneering look at Bengali languagae from the perspective of Historical Linguistics.
कबंध [Kabandh]
Ratnakar Matkari - 1970
Death is a mystery. What really happens at the time of death? No one could ever answer this question so far. Science has so far succeeded in putting forth a theory for the destruction of the human body. But human is not only the body, it is the mind within, the soul within, it has feelings, lust… Do they extinct with death? Or do they linger in the universe? No one has been successful in answering these questions. The common people are always attracted towards the dark secret of life. Yet, how far true it is from the scientific point of view? It is again beyond arguments. In general, the stories based on facts are considered to be artistic while those based on mystery are supposed to be without any artistic value.
Eleven! Time to Think of Marriage, Farhut
Betty McKelvey Kalish - 1970
It is difficult to be an eleven-year-old tomboy in pre-World War I Bengal, especially when it is the traditional age to seriously begin considering marriage.
