Sanjeev Sanyal’s book highlights the essential role of armed insurgencies in India’s fight for independence, arguing that these struggles were as significant as the non-violent movement.
By illuminating the intertwined stories of both celebrated and less-known freedom fighters, Sanyal presents a narrative that confronts the simplistic view of the independence struggle as merely a series of futile uprisings.
The author believes that the perception of the uprising as a disjointed effort is misleading; instead, it was a coordinated resistance involving revolutionary cells operating both nationally and internationally.
Sanyal critiques the common narrative surrounding India's independence, suggesting that understanding the armed revolutionary efforts requires acknowledgment of the diverse motivations and strategies of the freedom fighters.
