Jara Yaad Unhen Bhi Kar Lo

The Indian freedom struggle is generally considered to be from 1857 to 1947, but strong resistance to foreign rule began 332 years earlier, in 1525, when Queen Abbakka Chowta of Ullal Nagar in Karnataka, Indias last warrior to wield the fire arrow, forced the growing Portuguese dominance to its knees.This collection describes the worlds longest-running freedom struggle, which raged continuously for nearly four hundred and twenty-five years, from 1525 to 1947. What teenager or youth would not be thrilled to read about the immortal sacrifice of 12-year-old Bajirao Rathore of Odisha, the youngest person to sacrifice his life for Mother India? The story of how Durga Bhabhi, defying all restrictions, cleverly took Bhagat Singh from Lahore to Calcutta right under the nose of the British, continues to inspire Mission Shakti even today. Tatya Topes daughter, Maina Devi, accepted to be burnt alive in the fire rather than bowing before General Outram, and Ajijan Bai showed that every section of society, even a courtesan, is ready to die for the countrys freedom.This untouched account of 75 such brave men and women of India, which is like biting your finger, will create a natural reverence and respect for these unknown revolutionaries.
