Description
Although often neglected and underplayed in mainstream history, armed resistance to British imperialism is a significant part of Indian’s epic struggle for freedom.
The essays in this volume, written over several years, document various episode of resistance highlighting freedom fighters who inspired generations of Indians by their sacrifices.
They discuss the Velour Mutiny, the Chittagong Uprising, the Non-Cooperation movement and the militants of Bengal, Gandhi’s attitude to the execution of Bhagat Singh, the Telengana and Kakdwip risings, among others.
The essays also underline the facts that the fight against colonial oppression and exploration was inextricably linked to the struggle against feudalism.
