The Indian Struggle, 1920-1942 (Netaji : Collected Works, Vol 2) (Oxford India Paperbacks)

It's often said that we don't find books; books find us. In this case, it was a bit peculiar. I found this book in December 2002, I think at Bangalore airport, at Sankar's Bookstore. And it has been on my bookshelf since. The book finally found me, thirteen years later.And I am glad it found me.While most of us have a vague idea about the contribution of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose (and most of it related to the Azad Hind Fauj), to know specifically his life, thoughts, ideals and struggles, is a [...]

The best writers are the ones who are basically anything but verbose. SC Bose was one such author. This book glorifies the edict that brevity is the soul of wit.

The journey of Indian independence through the eyes of Netaji.

Its my precursor. Next i will read oi mahamanab ashey by charanik. Subhas bose detailed history on the freedom movement is as real as it was. Reading this it substantiates what is happening to the indian polity now and how the dissaperance and the constructive destruction of netajis legacy by his political opponents had derailed the nationalist and most original indian thought unbiased from any religious point of view from the indian psyche. Truly subhas bose was a hero and he became a legend ju [...]

direct and straightforward without any flowery prose netaji in these two volumes sketches the road of indian freedom struggle . It clears much of the gloss over key events in which he clashed with gandhi and "old guards" . Not a gripping narrative but an insightful one.

good
