India's struggle for independence IndiaÂ’s struggle for Independence by Bipin Chandra is your go to book for an in-depth and detailed overview on Indian independence movement . Indian freedom struggle is one of the most important parts of its history. A lot has been written and said about it, but there still remains a gap. Rarely do we get to hear accounts of the independence from the entire country and not just one region at one place. This book fits in perfectly in this gap and also provides a narration on the impact this movement had on the people. Bipin ChandraÂ’s book is a well-documented history of India's freedom struggle against the British rule. It is one of the most accurate books which have been painstakingly written after thorough research based on legal and valid verbal and written sources. It maps the first war of independence that started with Mangal PandeyÂ’s mutiny and witnessed the gallant effort of Sri Rani Laxmi Bai. Many of the pages of this book are dedicated to Mahatma GandhiÂ’s non-cooperation and the civil disobedience movements. It contains detailed description of Subash Chandra BoseÂ’s weapon heavy tactics and his charisma. This book includes all the independence movements and fights, irrespective of their size and impact, covering India in its entirety. Although these movements varied in means and ideas, but they shared a common goal of independence. This book contains oral and written narratives from different parts of the country, making this book historically rich and diverse. The book captures the evolution of Indian independence struggle in full detail and leaves no chapter of this story untouched. This book is a good read for the students of Indian modern history and especially for students who are preparing for UPSC examination and have taken History as their subject. This book is easily available online and you can purchase it at A now About the author Bipin Chandra was one of the most respected historians of our times.

This book has been writen by five scholars of JNU, bulk of it being written by Prof.Bipan Chandra. But, the editing has been done so well that one does not feel much difference in the language or style. Terminology used is uniform across different writers. In typical marxist historiograph style, the writers provide good analysis, instead of merely narrating history. The writers keenly examine the politics, society, economy, religion, communalism, ills of colonial rule. But, I felt that the writers have glossed over the communal problem that plagued the country during the struggle for freedom. For instance, they think the Mobla Communal riots of 1922 as rebillion of muslim farmers against Hindu land lords. They do not examine communal riots which took place in Punjab around the same time, which definitely would have shown the communal tint of these so called rebillion. Similarly, they have also gloss over the blunders of Mahatma Gandhi, his despotism over Congress, the conflicting stands he took vis a vis the British from time to time. Nehru's role gets greater prominance in the narrative than other nationalistic leaders. In fact, Pt.Madan Mohan Malaviya is identified as a communal leader! Whereas, the collusion by Communists with the British government is merely shown as conflicting stand of communists at different times of history. For getting factual details correct, one should read Dr.R.C.Majumdar's series of History and Culture of Indian People. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand India's struggle for freedom with a critical view. The present book gives more wholistic analysis of attendant facts and circumstances.

Indias Struggle for independence is one of its kind and probably has no equals in the history of the entire world. And this book tries to get you know about, at least the most important events in that centuries long struggle. It's really an excellent piece of academic research and honest history. To tribals, businessmen, barristers and Westerners, India is greateful to many- definitely Gandhi and 'his' team, for leading India to the horizon of freedom. This work tries it's best to help you get to know, if not all, but many of them...

A lot of hard work has gone into writing this book but there is a bias that is evident against one or other individuals or parties. There is record of events and that makes the book valuable.

Research is very good however language is too difficult to fathom for an ordinary reader. It is an interesting read however. Need to be read a couple of times to be understood fully though.
