Description
In The Last Heroes, these foot soldiers of Indian freedom tell us their
stories. The men, women and children featured in this book are
Adivasis, Dalits, OBCs, Brahmins, Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus. They
hail from different regions, speak different languages and include
atheists and believers, Leftists, Gandhians and Ambedkarites.
The people featured pose the intriguing question: What is freedom?
They saw that as going beyond Independence. And almost all of
them continued their fight for freedoms long after 1947.
The post-1947 generations need their stories. To learn what they
understood. That freedom and independence are not the same
thing. And to learn to make those come together.
