In some ways, India as a country was forged by the struggle for freedom, when women and men and children across the country engaged in the same struggle in different ways. From Shimla to Tanjore, from Aizawl to Mysore, from the jungles of Chotanagpur to the city streets of Calcutta and Bombay, the books in this series look at how children's day-to-day lives and dreams were changed and inspired by this national movement.
