The book takes us through the glorious Hindu history and Hindu kings, who fought time to time against the envaders.
There are number of kings and their valour which is unheard of. It also highlights the continuous war which was waged by Hindu society militarily against different invasions and defeated. It also discusses the issue, of ATI dharma sahishnuta, which acted against the cause of dharma or his stand on prati akramana when it came to Muslim rules destroying madirs as part of their jihad on Hindus (Talks of Vijayanagar prati akramana against bahamani sultanate). Or he also discusses demilitarisation of Hindu society, especially after Samrat Ashoka, whose call of placing shaastra over shastra, demoralised the soldiers as against the Buddhist monks. It also details Marathas conquest, how they made Tipu to kneel down and stop his jihad against Hindus and their temples destruction,made Taimur Lang run away out of the Peshawar. So many great stories and inspiration from the history. Importantly, it reminds us of our true nature and a great Hindu nation, we have always been.

My encounter with Glorious Indian History Book by Veer Savarkar!!
This book named “SIX GLORIOUS EPOCHS OF INDIAN HISTORY” had a huge impact on me, just made me feel so proud & lucky to be born in India.
It takes you on a journey where you realize your existence because of the sacrifices made by our ancestors!! It also explores the Invasion by Alexander, Yavans, Khushans, etc & still they were unable to capture India. It also describes how these invaders entered like a King but after having an encounter with our Great Kings, they realized they are facing not a normal Army!!
Veer Savarkar Ji has captured & clearly defines narrative from the Great Mauriyan Empire (Chanakya & Chandragupta), Yashodharma, Pushy Amitra, Vikramaditya to Freedom struggle by Indians over Muslims & British.
It also exposes how few historian projected India as weak but when you go over the stories above you realize how India has always been a fighter & bounced back & continued its Journey of being the light for the world!!
On a side note few articles at the end of the book gives you a sneak peek of Veer Savarkar Ji, his life spent in Jail….books he wrote for the future generations, his hardships spent with smile, etc…i cannot capture everything as one should read the book to make you feel your existence is because of the sacrifices done by our ancestors & freedom fighters!!
This book has changed my perception about how we need to at times put our life back in the history to know about our Country, its Culture, Feel Lucky to be Born here, Be Responsible by our doing Bit for Country in whichever MEDIUM we can!!
Thanks to Rajgopal Ji & Makrand Ji for referring this book!! Forever Greatful!!
