A Flag A Song and A Pinch of Salt by Subhadra Sen Gupta

Police batons, prison sentences or the hangman's noose-nothing could stop them. They were the builders of Independent India, the strategists of democracy , the soilders of liberty. They were the extraordinary band of lawyers, poets, businessmen , teachers, philosphers who became the founders of free , democratic , modern India. This volume brings together the extraordinary lives of freedom fighters, from Mahatma Gandhi to Birsa Munda, Sarojini Naidu to Bhagat Singh, Aurbindo Ghosh to Subhash Chandra Bose - life stories that recount little told events, capture their personalities and remind us of their role in their nationalist movement. They stood up against the biggest colonial empire in the world and all they had was their courage and passion for freedom. Relive the exciting story of our struggle for freedom through the lives of our greatest freedom fighters as they carried the defiantly fluttering tricolor towards a dream called India.
