Looking out across Karachi from the palace veranda you might be forgiven for thinking that you were in Tenerife. There were palm trees. Floral-painted buses forcing their way through the crowd. Street vendors selling savoury fritters from wicker baskets. Others walked like chain-men with buckets and tin cups swinging by their side as they sold water to the thirsty. Everywhere the 'toot-toot' of motor vehicles. There was a vibrancy in this young country, which had achieved independence scarcely five years before.During school holidays, when I was not attending the posh Mama Parsi High School, I might be travelling in a Jeep on one of Papa's many business trips to Afghanistan or India. But for the spoiled favourite daughter of a rich Persian Zoroastrian family, having everything was not enough. I had to throw it all away.

This volume contends that young individuals across Europe relate to their country’s history in complex and often ambivalent ways. It pays attention to how both formal education and broader culture communicate ideas about the past, and how young people respond to these ideas. The studies collected in this volume show that such ideas about the past are central to the formation of the group identities of nations, social movements, or religious groups. Young people express received historical narratives in new, potentially subversive, ways. As young people tend to be more mobile and ready to interrogate their own roots than later generations, they selectively privilege certain aspects of their identities and their identification with their family or nation while neglecting others. This collection aims to correct the popular misperception that young people are indifferent towards history and prove instead that historical narratives are constitutive to their individual identities and their sense of belonging to something broader than themselves.

“Behram’s Boat” is a funny, whimsical story of one eccentric, cranky old Parsi's struggle to build a boat that will save his people. And bring meaning to his life. Not a modern ship, but a traditional boat of wood and sail, that will retrace the historic voyage of the Parsis when they first came to India. But this time, the other way around: from Sanjan in India all the way to Iran. Behram's grand plan involves filling his boat not with refugees, but with young Parsi couples, who he hopes will fall in love during the voyage, and... well, contribute to the growth of their tribe. In a scheme that is both mad and hopeless, yet strangely heroic and moving, Behram Rustomjee battles all odds: from the challenges of hard labour under a relentless sun, on a black swamp of a beach to threats to his very life from people who say he is building a filthy "Sex Boat". For a man who has achieved not very much, Behram Rustomjee, for once, is determined to make his life mean something. But. Will the world allow him to build and sail his dream? “An enchanting pen-portrait – at once hilariously funny and painfully poignant – of not just an engagingly eccentric individual – a tragi-comic latter-day Noah – but of an entire community, and a way of life which is fast disappearing.” - Jug Suraiya

Field Marshal Sam Hormusji Framji Jamshedji Manekshaw, fondly known as Sam Bahadur, was one of the greatest war heroes and military leaders India has produced. He became a household name in India and was hailed as a legendary soldier and an inspiration to his fellow citizens for crafting India's greatest military victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak war as Chief of Staff (1969-73) of the Indian armed forces. Spanning four decades, he served the country gloriously through five wars—World War II, The Indo-Pakistani War of Partition (1947), the Sino-Indian War (1962), and the India-Pakistan wars (1965 and 1971). The first Indian Army officer to be promoted to the five-star rank of Field Marshal, Sam Bahadur continues to be the most admired war hero of our army chiefs. He will remain an example of self-sacrifice, personal bravery, and steadfast devotion to duty that began before India's independence, and will deservedly live in the annals of the military history of India forever.
