About the Book:
This
is an abridged edition of Sanjeev Sanyal's Revolutionaries:
The Other Story of How India Won Its Freedom, shortened and
illustrated for younger readers.
You
may have read the history of India's freedom struggle from the perspective of
the non-violent movement. Yet, the story of armed resistance to the British
Empire is just as interesting.
Revolutionaries
such as Subhas Chandra Bose, Vinayak Savarkar, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari
Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhikaji Cama were part of a large
network that sustained armed resistance against the British Empire for half a
century. They not only created a wide network inside India but also established
nodes in Europe, Asia and the United States.
This is a story of swashbuckling adventure, intrigue, espionage,
incredible bravery, treachery and shockingly unpredictable twists of fate.
