Book Description
Three determined Indians...to each one her/his mission is paramount. How can they not succeed? Dr. Kadambini Ganguly fought all odds to become the first woman medical practitioner in India. To achieve this in 1888, when there were hardly any schools for girls in India and women’s higher education still in its infancy, was no mean achievement. Yet Kadambini did it!
Major Dhyan Chand...the Wizard of Hockey! Who does not know of him? What it took the young lad to become the ‘mahatma of the hockey stick’ is what makes his story so remarkable. A sports hero who redefined the word ‘sportsmanship’ at the Olympic Games...
Sacrifice, honour, valour, patriotism, are words that took on a new definition of loftiness when 22-year-old Lieutenant Saurabh Singh Kalia laid down his life for the nation during the Kargil War in 1999.
Three stories of exceptional people.
Three lives of great inspiration.
Three salutes to the indomitable Indian spirit.
Three idols who stand tall...
