Lets Go Home And Other Stories

Here is the first eye-witness story of the Kashmir Operations permitted by the Government of India to be published in book form. On 22 October 1947, in a flash and without warning, war burst upon Kashmir. Indian troops were rushed to defend the state, after the request of the Ruler to accede to the Indian Union was accepted by the Government of India. The Story of Poonch , which is the central theme of the book, gives a vivid picture of the conditions under which the whole campaign was fought. This book, which is a reprint, is fully illustrated with maps and excellent photographs.

Let s Go Home and Other Stories is an anthology comprising of fourteen short stories by contemporary and near-contemporary Indian writers. They include the famous ones like R. K. Narayan and Mulk Raj Anand and lesser-known writers such as Indrayani Sawkar and Gopi Gauba. All the stories in this volume are set in the twentieth century--though at different points of time and in different locations in India. It is aimed at degree students in Indian universities who are likely to be familiar with the milieu of these stories. This new edition includes two new stories, updated notes on the authors and a more extensive glossary which will aid the students to grasp the subtleties of the stories better (as not only are the difficult words annotated, but it also includes contextual explanations for events referred to in the stories). There is a section which includes comprehension questions and language work at the end of each chapter. The comprehension questions test the students understanding of the stories, along with inviting them to engage with the stories in a deeper way by raising points for perusal and debate. The Language Work exercises are wide-ranging and pertinent to those seeking a better command of the English language. These have been divided into three parts, whereby each part seeks to help the student improve on their vocabulary and grammar.
