Product Description
by Sridhar Krish (Author)
'Eternal Flames of Freedom' is a collection of rare memoirs from India's Freedom movement, presented at its truthful best, by men who were there and have seen it all. The reader gets an insider's view of multiple ideologies at work during the Freedom movement, leading to the much debated question - who made the biggest impact in India attaining its Freedom - Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose or the revolutionary Socialists like Jayaprakash Narain. What was the role of the Veer Savarkar and the Hindu Mahasabha? The high point of this book is the story of Subhash Chandra Bose and the events leading to his sudden disappearance in an air crash in 1945!
It can only be as close as this to truth..!
The book gives a first-hand account of the events that transpired, as seen and experienced by people who were part of the freedom movement, unlike many other history books written by historians or the classic history textbooks that have reduced the Indian Freedom movement into a dry litany of dates, names and places. The book is an ultimate tribute to these Freedom Fighters, many of whom have long been forgotten and did not get any recognition for dedicating the prime of their youth to India's Freedom struggle.
