Samaya Sakshi Hai

Time is WitnessManu Sharma This is the second novel in a series of three novels by Manu Sharma. The time of Time is Witness is set before independence. At that time, the freedom movement was in full swing. In Varanasi, groups of patriots, singing songs like I will not keep the government, I will not keep it, would march from Dashashwamedh Ghat and converge on the Town Hall grounds. The freedom struggle gained momentum when, on August 9, 1942, Bapu gave the slogan Do or Die to the people of the country. What followed was this: people took to the streets, shrouded in shrouds. Gandhiji was arrested. Other prominent leaders were also arrested overnight. It was a strange timejails were filling up, hospitals were empty of beds. In the streets and on the roads, young and old, women and children were obsessed with the desire for freedom. The Union Jack was removed from government buildings and the tricolor was hoisted. Chaos spread everywhere. The limit of now or never was exceeded. Trains were stopped, communication channels were destroyed, government property was looted, and police stations were seized. This novel is a vivid document of the countless characters, events, and horrors of the freedom struggle. Time is Witness presents the details of the events of that period.
