Books on Indian Independence

The Quota Reform Movement in Bangladesh has significantly raised political awareness among the younger generation, prompting interest in the country's political history post-1971. Recommended readings include works detailing the leadership of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the three military coups that followed, providing insights into Bangladesh's turbulent political landscape. In India, the literary contributions of freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh continue to inspire, with books like 'Hind Swaraj' and 'Why I Am an Atheist' offering unique perspectives on the fight for independence. Recently, Rajya Sabha MP Bhim Singh launched '75 Great Revolutionaries of India,' highlighting lesser-known heroes of the independence movement, which aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tribute to the Quit India Movement. This year marks the observance of the 75th anniversary of India's independence, commemorating the historical significance of August 15, 1947, and the partition's impact. Key literary works about India's struggle for freedom, including Subhash Chandra Bose's 'The Indian Struggle' and Gandhi's autobiography, remain essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities of the nation's history.
