India's Struggle for Independence: 1857-1947

This is an excellent book for those who want to explore and understand India’s road to freedom. All the chapters give a good glimpse into the thought process and ideology of the INC, Muslim League, Revolutionaries, Communists, Youth, Women and several other stakeholders. The critique offered on all of them is noteworthy and allows the reader to formulate their own opinion. I strongly recommend it to those who want a deep dive into how freedom was attained for India and how often the narrative is distorted for political gains.

Bipan Chandra an team’s India’s Struggle for Independence is a definitive and detailed account of India's fight against British colonial rule. The book traces the freedom movement from the 1857 Revolt to India's independence in 1947, offering insights into the leaders, strategies, and events that shaped the struggle. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book delves into the socio-political dynamics and ideologies that fueled the movement. Chandra’s balanced perspective provides a comprehensive understanding of key figures like Gandhi, Nehru, and Subhas Bose, as well as the contributions of lesser-known revolutionaries. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking a nuanced and well-researched understanding of India’s journey to freedom.

India’s Struggle for Independence is one of the most important and influential books on India’s freedom movement. It’s not just about facts — it explains the forces, debates, conflicts and ideas that shaped the struggle. Great for serious readers and students; some may find it detailed and dense but that’s also its strength.

I rate this book 10/10 because I recieved this book on time , it's packaging was amazing and the book was 100% fine , with hard cover and dark visible text. This book has a best way of telling the full struggle of india before independence in a detailed way. Many authors have contributed to make this book even better for the readers and the price is worth it. Inshort , I recommend you to buy this and gain the knowledge of the British India with all topics covered in a story telling manner.......

Wonderful book

Great Quality

There are many irrelevant hate sentences against Hindus and particularly brahmins in this book, I really regret on the behalf of all the UPSC aspirants that we have to read such biased book to get through this exam. It is totally based on left wing's ideology.

The book’s quality is excellent. As a student, I found the language very easy to understand. I think this is the best book to start learning about our history.

A very good insight into the freedom struggle of India by many respectable intellectuals. We can know how the great movement was slowly built.

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.

a very comprehensive book. covers freedom struggle from all perspectives. good arguments and considers all the information likely to be relevent

Received on time and as good as new. The pages seem like the book has never been used before. Happy with the purchase : )

Good book, captures all aspects of the freedom movement without rhetoric and even tries to answer contrarian view points. But I think it delves in to details too often making it a difficult read and like a history chronicle from time to time. Still as an Indian it’s a book worth reading to give a more unbiased evolution of the story of independence, what were the key drivers and the roles played by so many over a long stretched out struggle.
