1) India Divided by Rajendra Prasad
The book specifically examines the theory that the Hindus and Muslims of India were two nations and concludes that the solution for the Hindu–Muslim issue should be sought in the formation of a secular state, with cultural autonomy for the different groups that make up the nation.
2) Why I am an Atheist by Bhagat Singh
How can a young man who lived only for 23 years write such a masterpiece with extraordinary philosophical ideas while he was in Lahore Jail waiting to be hanged? The situation in which he wrote this book might have turned even the strongest atheist into a religious person. But not Bhagat Singh. He is a true example of the word firebrand, which might be the reason why we are still talking about him with so much passion even after around 100 years.
It is in this book that Gandhi announced his life's mission for the first time: moral regeneration of Indians and political emancipation of Mother India. Hind Swaraj teaches "the gospel of love in place of that of hate. It replaces violence with self-sacrifice. It pits soul force against brute force".
