Thanks, Mukund. We have already discussed Manini's book but the one about Panipat is new (to me). I wonder if it's a translation of some Marathi book on this topic or Mr Kulkarni's original work. Got to find out. Sounds interesting. -- Harshawardhan ----- Original Message ----- From: mukund murty Speaking of March 1930, I recently picked up and read an un-put-downable book by Manini Chatterjee on the 18th April (Easter day) 1930 armed rebellion in Chittagong (Chattogram) led by Surjyo Sen, largely comprising school and college boys, the youngest of whom was only 14...! And, speaking of books, another brilliant book is 'Solstice at Panipat' by Uday Kulkarni on the III Battle of Panipat in January 1764. I cannot recommend them enough.
