THE KILLING OF AARUSHI AND THE MURDER OF JUSTICE 30 Mar, 2017

by RAJESH TALWAR

( 41 )

₹ 76.00

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, CLEAR AND CONVINCING ARGUMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS!!!
The Aarushi Talwar murder case gripped the imagination of the nation for the better part of a decade, and is likely to remain a running story for many more years. The case involved the shocking and heinous murder of a young teenage girl, Aarushi and the family servant Hemraj, and was first investigated by the state police that allowed the crime scene to be heavily contaminated and robbed of all direct evidence. The case took many twists and turns, which were widely reported in the media. Initially the Talwars, Nupur and Rajesh, dentists and parents of the young girl were suspected of the crime by the state police, but subsequently when investigation was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the country’s premier investigative agency, the first team investigating the matter reached the conclusion that the Talwars were innocent and it was Hemraj’s associates that had committed the murders. The case took another turn when a fresh investigating team was put in charge following the appointment of a new director. This new team exonerated the servants and directed the needle of suspicion once more towards the Talwars. In the trial that followed the Talwars were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Many questions, however, still remain. This book considers some of those unanswered questions, examines the judgement and related material closely in the context of three possible scenarios, and concludes that the Talwars were probably innocent and should at any rate been given the benefit of reasonable doubt. The author of a bestselling book on the Nirbhaya case makes a compelling case as to why the Aarushi Talwar murder case remains one of the most debated, but ultimately unsolved, crimes of this century. Be that as it may, the country now awaits the verdict of the Supreme Court.

THE VANISHING OF SUBHASH BOSE: THE MYSTERY UNLOCKED 26 Jan, 2019

by RAJESH TALWAR

( 47 )

₹ 70.00

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED!!!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, CLEAR AND CONVINCING EXPLANATIONS....
Netaji Bose, who led the Indian National Army to wage battles against the British, allegedly died in an air crash in Taipei, Taiwan soon after the Second World War came to an end. Did he really die in the air crash or was it a fabrication? This question was considered by three inquiry commissions, the last of which came to the clear conclusion that there was in fact no air crash. Each report is carefully dissected by the author, a trained international lawyer and public intellectual.
If Bose did not in fact die in the air crash, where did he go, what happened to him, and when, where and how did he meet his end? Why did Prime Minister Nehru keep Bose-related files away from the first committee that conducted an enquiry? Why did India’s first prime minister order that surveillance be carried out on the Bose family for decades? Why did Prime Minister Morarji Desai speak of new evidence that challenged the conclusions of the first two inquiries that Bose had died in an air crash? Why did Desai subsequently fall silent? This book provides explanations on all the important questions that have plagued Indian minds for decades. The mystery behind the springing tiger’s disappearance is finally unlocked.
If Gandhi’s non-violent struggle represented the feminine spirit of ‘ahimsa’ Bose and the INA’s struggle represented Indian manhood in its fullest flowering. In freedom struggles across the world, some of those who fought the hardest are subsequently ignored. If we apply the necessary corrective to the history of Indian independence, the author argues, we will change India’s view of itself and its place in the world, past, present and future.

HOW TO KILL EVERYONE ON THE PLANET: UKRAINE AND OTHER RECIPES FOR A NUCLEAR MATRICIDE – A PLAY 24 Jun, 2022

by Rajesh Talwar

( 1 )

₹ 299.00

How to Kill Everyone on the Planet - Ukraine and Other Recipes for a Nuclear Matricide is a play concerning the survival of our planet in a conflict-ridden world.

From Outer Space, four members of the Cosmic Crisis Committee watch a situation in Islamabad that has the potential to escalate into a full-blown nuclear war between India and Pakistan.

A conflict between Singapore and Malaysia could also escalate into a World War.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine raises the real and immediate possibility of nuclear warfare with horrific consequences for the entire planet. At the military academy in Moscow, a Russian instructor discusses the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and explains to his students how artificial intelligence (AI) can be a game changer in the conflict.

Meanwhile, the Hairies, a violent, meat-eating, alien species descend on Earth with a view to colonising it.

Will the Blue Planet survive? Will humans commit global harakiri by carrying out a ‘nuclear matricide’ and will the planet become a ball of fire?

Playwright Rajesh Talwar uses fictional as well as real-life scenarios, such as the conflict in Ukraine, to spark an important global debate.

How to Kill Everyone on the Planet is a thought provoking and deeply troubling read that takes a satirical and philosophical look at the possibility of a tragedy beyond all others.

AURANGZEB: THE DARKNESS IN HIS HEART 10 Jun, 2019

by RAJESH TALWAR

( 9 )

₹ 70.00

AURANGZEB, THE ROMANTIC,
AURANGZEB, THE MONSTER!
AND AURANGZEB, THE FEARFUL!!
The play, divided into three parts, paints a unique, arresting portrait of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, as also of his life and times. Part 1 titled Aurangzeb, the Romantic tells the lesser-known tale of how a cold-hearted Mughal fell in love with Hirabai, a slave girl. This developing romance would have turned his life around in all probability had she not suffered an untimely demise. Following Hirabai’s death, Aurangzeb returns to an extra-narrow interpretation of Islam. The play, in Part 2 titled Aurangzeb, the Monster goes on to describe the Mughal’s bloody ascent to power displaying great cunning, cruelty, ruthlessness and brutality. Once he is Emperor, he gets more and more puritanical, tyrannical and intolerant by the day.
Part 3 is titled Aurangzeb, the Fearful. Towards the end of a long and bloody reign, with a crumbling empire in disarray, we find the emperor now full of regret, despair and, above all, fear at how he will face his Maker and what terrible punishments await him in the Afterlife.
Among the cast of principal characters feature Aurangzeb’s father Emperor Shah Jahan, his ill-fated brother Prince Dara Shikoh, Hirabai the woman he fell in love with, Jahanara, his elder sister and Udaipuri a courtesan he inherited from his murdered brother’s harem, who becomes his companion during his last days.
If there is a lesson in the play, it is this: Intolerance and mistreatment of communities be it that of a majority or a minority community is never good for the unity and strength of an empire or a nation – a history lesson that extremists from all religions need to pay heed to.

THE MANTRA AND MEANING OF SUCCESS 15 Jan, 2022

by Rajesh Talwar

( 26 )

₹ 249.00

Was Shah Rukh Khan’s success accidental? Would Indian billionaire Ramesh Dua have become one of India’s richest men, had it not been for a chance event in his life? Why do celebrities like Deepika Padukone get depressed? Why did Arundhati Roy take so long to write her second novel? How did Mario Puzo fare before the success of The Godfather? Was Leonardo da Vinci brilliant at marketing? How did Amitabh Bachchan change Rekha’s attitude towards her career? Is Bill Gates a success – in the world of charity? How did Osho view success? What is Bob Dylan’s view on success? Is kindness important for success, or should one be ruthless? What does a person need to do to maintain his success? How important is creative expression relative to entrepreneurial skill? What is the difference between being successful and super-successful? And so on.

To be read by men and women of all ages, it will also be useful for those who are already successful, for it will tell them how to retain that success, handle it, and be yet more successful.
