Empires of India
Around the fifteenth century, several Muslim rulers controlled regions in north, northwest and even central India. In the face of their relentless aggression, the battle to protect Hindu beliefs and way of living was an uphill task. It was during this time that sons from the Rajput clans refused to yield, leading to countless battles and lessons to future generations on leaving no stone unturned to uphold their honour. The kingdom of Mewar emerged as key in the resistance to Muslim rulers, with the Rajput dynasty there producing successors such as Maharana Kumbha, Maharana Sanga, and Maharana Pratap. They left an incredible legacy, with Maharana Kumbha remaining undefeated in every battle he ever fought and ensuring art and culture flourished under his reign. Maharana Sanga overcame difficult personal circumstances to finally become the first ruler who succeeded in uniting the Rajput clans to keep invaders at bay. Years down the line, when several Rajput leaders were forming alliances with the Mughal empire, Maharana Pratap valiantly countered them in epic battles such as the one in Haldighati. Apart from Mewar, an orphaned Chhattrasal from Bundelkhand drew inspiration from Chatrapati Shivaji and played a pivotal role in the Mughal empire's downfall. In this book, delve deeper into the stories of these determined brave men and their tales of political and personal triumphs as they rewrote Indian history.

Out of the Tub
Say the name William Howard Taft, and those who recall him at all will say he was the fat president who got stuck in a tub. But did that even happen? More importantly, how did his need for approval and pleasing others propel him first into a legal career, and then, despite hating politics, pull him into the White House and beyond? Find out, too, about the three most influential people in his life: his strict, legal-minded father Alphonso, ambitious wife Nellie, determined to one day be First Lady, and closest friend of all, Theodore Roosevelt, who ultimately mocked and betrayed him.At its heart, Out of the Tub is a story of great love, conflict, sacrifice, and service, a personal, behind-the-scenes look at "Big Bill" whose goodwill, hearty laugh, and good humor endeared him to the public, the many events and choices that shaped his life. Both progressive and conservative in his thinking, he stood firmly behind the Constitution and the rule of law, earning him both applause and criticism. Admittedly thin-skinned, the many harsh words hurled his way, hurt deeply but didn't stop him. No wonder, then that, in the end, The New York Times described him as "the most human President who ever sat in the White House."
