For bibliophiles and those interested in the rich history of the Indian maritime industry, we are pleased to offer a unique book on the great Indian industrialist Walchand Hirachand, a pioneer of the Indian shipping industry and a leading figure in various other realms of industrial activity. A full-length biography of Walchand Hirachand was first published in Marathi in 1965. The Gujarati version of this biography was published in 1967 followed by the first English version in 1969. This exhaustive biography offers a comprehensive history of Indian shipping. In the year 2007, on the occasion of the 125th birth anniversary of Walchand Hirachand, the English version of this book was republished for private circulation.
We are now pleased to offer the highly scarce 125th Birth Anniversary Edition of Walchand Hirachand's enthralling biography. This book was published for private circulation only and is very scarce and hard to find, especially in such excellent condition as the one we are offering.
