"Sarat Chandra Bose (1889-1950) was an eminent barrister, political thinker, and a leader in India's historic struggle against British rule in the first half of the 20th century. This collection of writings on and by Sarat Chandra Bose is expansive and enriched by a selection of archival material on the movement for India's political freedom. Bose is often remembered as the supportive elder brother of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, but he was also a political visionary in his own right and a key figure in India's freedom movement. An invaluable compendium of material not just on the life of Sarat Chandra Bose but a range of related political activity from the 1930's until 1950, this volume includes significant primary archival material-writings and speecheson and by Sarat Bose; letters exchanged by national leaders; extracts and reports from the British India Government's secret files that kept under close surveillance those Indians whom they considered dangerous. The book not only provides a deep insight into Bose's active public life but also fleshes out the intricate nature of friendships and fallouts between powerful historical figures in India and the West, even as India, the 'jewel in the crown' of the British Empire, slipped away from the coloniser's grasp. Rich in primary and archival material, this volume provides both public and private source materials of a key period of Indian history and will be an important resource for researchers and students of history, colonial and postcolonial studies, politics. It will also be of interest to those working on the history of Indian independence and its principal players as well as the partition of India"-- Provided by publisher.
