Preface
This book attempts to present a comprehensive view of all the main political parties, groups, and personalities associated with the Indian Freedom Movement right since the late nineteenth century. It also traces all the relevant timelines.
The chapter Notable Personalities presents a brief sketch of all those who contributed to the Indian Freedom Movement grouped into various categories like Revolutionary Groups, Revolutionaries, Gandhians, and Non-Gandhians.
Particular of the prominent Muslim leaders, Britishers, and Governor Generals are also included.
The chapter Relevant International Timelines includes prominent international timelines relevant from the Indian angle.
The mega chapter Interesting Indian Timelines chronologically covers all timelines, events, and developments relevant to the Freedom Movement right since 1600 CE.
The last chapter What Really Led to Freedom & Partition summarises the REAL reasons behind the Freedom, Partition, and Pakistan.
Ambitious coverage of this book would have required over a thousand pages to do full justice to the topics. However, this project (book) is restricted to presenting a comprehensive yet compressed view of the relevant factors, events and personalities. It is a summarised work deliberately limited to as few pages as possible.
