Kranti Veer: The Revolutionaries' War (1911-1930)
Book five of Bharat's Forgotten Fighters. Twenty-six people between the Delhi bomb of 1912 and Alfred Park in 1931: the lumber-mill workers who founded Ghadar and the ship that was turned back, the Bhils shot on Mangarh hill, the clerk from Dehradun who planned a rising across the cantonments, the hill chiefs and the healer who fought the forest laws, the men hanged for Kakori, and the seven people usually cropped out of Bhagat Singh's photograph. One lesson per person, told from the documented scene.
