Review : PAX INDICA by Shashi Tharoor

Well , this is my consecutively third book review blog because I can't resist myself from reading books now a days . I am heading towards the last year of my undergraduate programme and I have to prepare myself for Post Graduate studies in future so I am just pulling my socks up by reading few accomplished non fictions mostly political and historical and yet one book which caught my attention was " Pax Indica " by Dr. Shashi Tharoor . I loved the concept of this book because I love international relations and I am a frequent reader of international policies , news and worldwide politics all that stuff and this book was eventually based on it , that's why I couldn't cease myself from reading this book.  (Image Source : Image clicked by the blogger itself ) Now , What this book is basically about ? What is the core concept of this book ? I'll clear all the doubts. This book is specifically written on the Indian Foreign Policy worldwide , it's r...

Haridwar : A City of Love

Well , whenever we talk about Hindu religion some facts strike in our mind like the oldest religion of the world , saffron cloth wearing , old temples , Sanskrit chants , worshiping on the bank of river , numerous deities and gods etc.  India is such a vast country and Hinduism is spread all over the sub continent , although India is a secular nation where all religion exists under the same sky but here in this blog I am talking specifically about the Hinduism and place where you can truly find the assent of real Hinduism i.e. Haridwar  .  Situated on the Himalayan belt in the south west of Uttrakhand state joining borders with Uttar Pardesh state and becoming the first plane city after the mountains of Himalayas.

Review - NEHRU - The Invention of India by Shashi Tharoor

Well , I can confidently say that my summer holidays went quite productive because the books which I opted to read and especially non fictional were exhilarating and I was poured with great facts and knowledge which were unclear to me and helped me to understand better about some of the few ideologies and incidents which are very essential to understand today because the facts are portrayed in a very distorted manner especially about the deeds and misdeeds of Indian freedom struggle and post independence era.  (Image Source : The one who is writing the blog ! Thanks me later 😉) Thanks to one and only Dr. Shashi Tharoor and being a Delhi University undergraduate student it's my honor to study one of my profound alumni. This summer holidays I decided to read one of his book " Nehru - The Invention of India " 2018 edition and honestly I was stunned after reading this book because this book nourished my knowledge very well to understand the better image ...

The rich history of Deccan tells us about the rulers of Deccan, their achievements, their life style and their architecture.

It was called as Hosapete earlier but later the name was amended into Hospet. This city is situated in the heart of Karnataka.
