I stay in Belgaum, close to where Malgaonkar resides in his 'jungle abode' Burbusa.<br /><br />I have met him a couple of times, when i have gone towards the dandeli forests area.<br /><br />The last i met him was a couple of days ago. He is 97, can bearly walk, gets visibily pointedly tired of visitors and fans after some time, and hardly has the eye sight to read or write, but the twinkle in his eyes is still unmistakable.<br /><br />Dropping names is a book where he reminiscences about the people and personalities he's met.<br /><br />The book on kanhoji angrey, the maratha admiral is also a good read...praveen bavadekarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411350303495563052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955710399720769787.post-74331819739463076102008-10-05T09:30:00.000+05:302008-10-05T09:30:00.000+05:30could anybody tell me how i can find the book onli...could anybody tell me how i can find the book online ? i mean, if any ebook is available, that would be great... my email: phani.p.gudipati@gmail.com<BR/>thanks a lot againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955710399720769787.post-61353626838403229232008-10-03T12:59:00.000+05:302008-10-03T12:59:00.000+05:30a very nice book.describes how the decision of one...a very nice book.<BR/>describes how the decision of one person can affect the whole countryJigar Surahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524052791988209722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955710399720769787.post-16685418267864184272008-09-21T12:00:00.000+05:302008-09-21T12:00:00.000+05:30It is a fantastic book, well supported by facts. T...It is a fantastic book, well supported by facts. The best part, as you mentioned, is tat the book is an unbiased account of the happenings. This creates a lot of questions in mind regarding the status of 'Father of Nation', the whereabouts of the Rs.165 Crs. left with India, the role played by Mountbatten, the propoganda made for the last 61 years about Freedom "struggle", the cold blooded facts about partition, the suppression of the work done by Veer Savarkar etc. etc. Congress and in particular the Nehru's and Gandhi's, need to answer many questions. They owe it to the common people. That is, provided, the common people are ready to ask the question .......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955710399720769787.post-84626641010251169802008-08-06T15:41:00.000+05:302008-08-06T15:41:00.000+05:30Good review!

I have just finished reading this book and say that you are right on your observations. <BR/><BR/>I must add that a lot of propoganda has already happened in this country based on this episode. People, communities, political parties etc. were dragged in unneccessarily and the standard Goebells tactic of "tell a lie a 100 times, it becomes a truth" was used.<BR/><BR/>The book can be surely used to challenge these modern day Goebells.SK Perinthalakkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575171640388235584noreply@blogger.com
