Publication of my 14th book - "The Balasore Papers"

I am happy to share with you that my 14th book “The Balasore Papers - A compendium of important documents relating to the Anglo-French dispute ever the French Loge in Balasore, India: 1693-1949” has just been published.

Oh no, not another book on Balasore, you might say.

But believe me this book is different from my earlier book on Balasore (“Some Vignettes of Balasore and its French Loge”). The present book is a compilation of hitherto unpublished Franco-Britannic documents from 1693 to 1949 relating to the French Loge in Balasore India. A number of these documents have been translated from French to English by me.

Ten pages of the book have been put on the web (http://pothi.com/pothi/book/k-j-s-chatrath-balasore-papers) and may I invite you to thumb through some of these pages?

  2. Thanks...

    Nirvana: You cant blame me for not trying...

    On a more serious note, i kept on thinking how unfair it was for Gautama to have left his young wife and little child to seek his personal nirvana...what would happen if each of us did the same...but maybe this doubt arises only because of my shallow understanding of what he did
