India's Struggle for Independence
India's Struggle for Independence | Bipan Chandra
2 posts | 6 read | 2 reading | 3 to read
This is a study of India's independence movement, from an abortive revolt against the British in 1857 through the times which eventually lead to Indian Independence in 1947 seen from the Indian point of view. The book is based on primary sources, hundreds of interviews with those who took part in the struggle for freedom, and presents new information on the formation of the Indian National Congress and the British response to various uprisings. It also examines the personalities and influence of the leaders of the time and evolves a new and coherent view of the history of the period.

#BookedInTime

Shout out to @Itchyfeetreader for prompt.

I have not read any of the books pictured except Midnight at Malabar House, which I liked. The night diary is Middle Grade. I did order A Suitable Boy as I‘ve always wanted to read it.

sblbooks I've read the night diary. It's excellent. 7mo
Cuilin @sblbooks I‘ve read great things about it. 7mo
rwmg @Cuilin @Dabbe I'm currently reading “The Home and the World“ by Rabindranath Tagore. It is set in the 1910s. Bimila is encouraged by her husband to acquire an education, and she gets involved in the fledgling Indian independence movement. Would this count?

Cuilin @rwmg absolutely it counts!! How is it? 4mo
dabbe @rwmg On the spreadsheet! 🤩 4mo
rwmg I'm about 1/3 of the way through. I'm finding it a bit heavy-going but I want to know how the characters end up. 4mo

Okay so my goal for #NutsInMay would be to read 1000 pages and if possible to strech it to 1500 but that might be an overkill for an amateur like me.

Currently reading the tagged book, hope to complete it by next week.
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65
