The history of the Indian national movement was marked by unprecedented acts of heroism and sacrifice on the part of its people. It had leaders who were both brave and wise and of whom posterity can be proud.
The partition of the country in 1947 diminished the achievement of independence to a certain extent, but it was not an unmitigated evil: the partition of 1947 made it easier for the leaders and people of independent India to continue to pursue the unity of a major part of the subcontinent.
The fifteen essays included in this book deal with the problems of the national period of British rule. They bring out the inimitability of both the Indian challenge and the British response to it.
