The Revolutionaries Part I

This book vividly brings alive the message of revolutionary patriots, who heroically suffered innumerable brutalities and sacrificed their lives for the honour, dignity, freedom, human rights and happiness of their countrymen. The book painstakingly and methodically compiles the contemporary events and spirit of fight for Independence. The title comes from the book titled “Ghadr di Goonj” (the echo of revolution), containing patriotic poems, making a clarion call for heroic uprising against injustice and for freeing the country, first published in Gurmukhi in 1914, by revolutionaries of Ghadr (revolution) movement, in San Francisco. The revolutionaries kissed the gallows as their duty to the nation. We can forget this only at our own peril.

The book draws from numerous works such as Veer Savarkar’s “The Indian War of Independence 1857”, ML Ahuja’s “Eminent Indians: Freedom Fighters”, and Harinder Srivastava’s “Five Stormy Years: Savarkar in London” (1906-1910).
