Abstract
This book recounts the story of the Indian freedom struggle from the Great Revolt of 1857 and the attainment of independence in 1947. While mentioning most of the principal actors and events, the volume focuses more on the aims and development of Indian independence rather than on personalities and ideologies. The book covers the decline of the Mughal empire, establishment of British rule, the Revolt of 1857, the birth of modern India, the rise of nationalism, reform movement, the revolutionary activities, rise of extremists and moderates, the era of Mahatma Gandhi, the impact of world events, and the partition of India and Pakistan. Aimed at the present generation, the aim of this book is that those who have never worn the yoke of servitude should appreciate the sacrifices of men and women who made freedom possible.
