The history of Indian tennis begins in the late nineteenth century, soon
after it was established as a competitive sport in England. The sport
quickly caught the imagination of the colonised just as much as it had
of the colonisers. In those early years, Mohammed Sleem, the Fyzee
brothers, S.M. Jacob and Ghaus Mohammed (whose genius was sadly
curtailed by the Second World War) were the heroes tennis needed,
claiming it for India.
After Independence, a new set of players set the courts ablaze: Dilip
Bose, Sumant Misra, Naresh Kumar and the dazzling Ramanathan
Krishnan, who remains one of India’s biggest icons. In the 1970s and
’80s, Vijay Amritraj and Ramesh Krishnan established India as a regular
on the international stage, until finally in the mid-1990s, Leander Paes
and Mahesh Bhupathi earned the country its first Grand Slam titles.
Today, tennis is deeply entrenched in India, with players like Rohan
Bopanna and Sania Mirza—the superstar who transformed women’s
tennis in her country—being huge sporting icons and much sought
after for endorsements.
Advantage India is a deeply researched and engaging account of the
exhilarating journey of Indian tennis, with a special section on the
Doubles game and on women’s tennis in India. A must-have for every
sports lover.

About the Author
Satyajit Ray (1921-92) was one of the greatest film-makers of his time. In 1992, he was awarded the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In the same year he was also honoured with the Bharat Ratna. Ray was also a writer of repute, and his short stories, novellas, poems and articles, written in Bengali, have been immensely popular. He has published several books in Bengali, most of which became bestsellers. He is also the author of the famous Feluda stories, the translations of which have been made available by Penguin.
Every common man who by his sheer grit and hard work achieves success should share his story with the rest for they may find inspiration and strength to go on, in his story. The ‘Wings of Fire’ is one such autobiography by visionary scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who from very humble beginnings rose to be the President of India. The book is full of insights, personal moments and life experiences of Dr. Kalam. It gives us an understanding on his journey of success.
Dr. Kalam by narrating his life journey evokes the reader to identify with one’s inner fire and potential, for he was of the firm belief that each one of us was born with the strength and potential to make a tangible change in the world. How he inspired himself to achieve dreams and how he went about accomplishing so much is what the book captures nicely.
The book recollects many anecdotes and stories from childhood, his time at school and college. The time spent at the Langley Research Center, NASA and Wallops Flight Facility gets a lot of attention.
Personal tragedies have not been left out. The time when he lost his father and how he felt when conferred with many awards like the Padma Bhushan have been written in much detail.
The second half of the book deals with Dr Kalam, the scientist who made a significant contribution in developing the countries guided missile program, a pioneering effort for the security of the nation. It’s not with reason that he was nicknamed as the ‘Missile Man of India’. The book also contains 24 photographs at various stages of his life.
Authored by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Mr. Arun Tiwari, the 180 page book ‘The Wings of Fire’ was first published in the year 2000. Mr Tiwari is a well-known missile scientist who has worked with Dr. Kalam. Having become a bestseller, the book has even been translated into thirteen languages, which includes Chinese and French.
