  • The Intellectual Roots of India’s Freedom Struggle (1893-1918)

    di Prithwindra Mukherjee ...
    Most people believe India’s struggle for independence to have begun with Mahatma Gandhi. Little credit goes to the proof that this call for a mass movement did not arise out of a void. For the past century and more, historians have overlooked the phase of twenty-five years of intense creative endeavour preceding and preparing for the Mahatma’s advent. The reason for this systematic omission has ... Altre info
