Wicked women of the Raj by Coralie Younger (Book Review)

Image
Read on May 1, 2011.  An excellent book which go to explain how English and Irish women used their charms to seduce Indian Prince(s) and Kings/ member of royal families of India. Book explain in detail as to how these wicked women used Indian elite and their property etc. For themselves and for their families overseas. However many of these English women died in the state of misery/ mental illness after they realised that no one in India and/or even the British Raj declined recognition to their marriage to Indian Prince(s). An excellent account of events during the British Raj. Books also talk about Indian Kings/ Prince etc. And their attitude towards India pre and post Indian independence. Many of them married English women to keep them in their Harem only. There elite remained more or less loyal to the Britishers.

I am another You- Priya Kumar (Book Review)

This is a self help book written by Priya Kumar, a motivational speaker. Apparently, this is true story of author who tried to escape from the materialistic world. This book is written in the backdrop of Netherlands and Priya’s journey with shamams, ancient tribesman known for their mystic world of communicating with the spirit world. Priya takes its reader through her tough journey of learning, unlearning, and coming face to face with obstacles which made her think of running away from the world of shamams as well. But, yes, she was determined to awaken her sub-conscious mind and to understand the ways to fight with her troublesome past life. The lessons in the books are worth implementing, though they are bit difficult in real life, but atleast if we can start with say atleast ten percentile of the same, it’s worth. I must say this is indeed a great book and I strongly recommend reading the same.
