Great Men Of India

Whether of the past or of the present. India s great men are such as would do honour to any country known to history. This book is an attempt to tell the study of some of the greatest men who have made and are making Indian history. The subjects of this book are divided into eight sections, viz. RULERS AND GREAT LEADERS, STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS, REFORMERS AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS, AUTHORS POETS, SCIENTISTS, EDUCATIONISTS, JUDGES, and INDUSTRIAL PIONEERS, according to the varied manifestations of their genius. They have covered the men who made the India of the past with its rich culture, its deep philosophical wisdom and its stiring examples of courage and chivalry and also the men of today who are taking the best from the past and making a foundation on which to build an ever greater India of the future. Though there has been no attempt to make this book in any way a history of India, one cannot study the lives of her GREAT MEN over a period of more than two thousand years with out learning much of her history and progress. Thus it is that the biographies in this book serve to illuminate and in some sort even to recount the history of the land in which they lived. Yet the reading of this book is as interesting as the reading of a novel. The book comprises contributions of the greatest authorities on their respective subjects and is profusely illustrated with authentic photographs.
