Dr. Panchanan Saha

Madam Bhikaji Rustom Cama is one of the tallest representatives of the revolutionary stream of our freedom movement. She dedicated her life in organizing armed revolution against the oppressive British rule in India from abroad along with Shyamji Krishna Varma, Lala Hardayal, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Virendranath Chattopadhyay, M. N. Roy Dr. Bhupendranath Dutta and many others. She was the first who unfurled the Indian National Flag in foreign soil at the International Socialist Congress at Stuttgart, Germany in 1907. In her impassioned speech she urged upon the delegates to extend moral and material help to India’s freedom struggle. She devoted her entire life and energy in arousing world support for India’s cause and providing active help and encouragement to a fiery band of Indian revolutionaries. She is called, therefore, the mother of Indian Revolution. The writer marshalling many known and unknown documents has presented here in a lucid style Madam Cama’s life and activities. He had also presented here the works of other revolutionaries connected with her. Their lives and works should be better known to the people of India particularly to the younger generation.

Lucidly written and thoroughly informative, Pioneers of Indian Trade Union Movement is an invaluable and indispensable book for an indepth understanding of the Indian labour movement at large.

This book depicts the works of some seventy pioneers of trade union movement irrespective of political affiliations spreading all over India.

The pioneers have won many trade union rights by tremendous struggle and sacrifice that the modern working class enjoys now.

Dr. Nandalal Chatterjee

Held as pioneering work in its own genre, this book by Dr. Nandalal Chatterjee is an authoritative documentation of India’s journey to her independence. Free from both the colonial hangovers and the ultra nationalistic trends of writing history. Dr. Chatterjee has maintained—an objectively rarely found in his time. Beginning with an outline of the Indian Renaissance Dr. Chatterjee turns his attention to the uprising of 1857. He then moves on to outline the cultural roots of our nationalist ideology to be followed by an account of the origins of the Indian National Congress. The core of the book consists of a series of chapters focusing attention on the mainstream tradition of the non-violent movements led by Mahatma Gandhi. In the concluding chapter of the book, the author tires to reflect on how the independence was not only the end of a century-old struggle, but also the beginning of attempts toward’s a fuller realization of the age-old ideal of unity in diversity’.
