Summary: When the British came to India 'Hindustan' was a single country both in the eyes of the conqueror and the conquered, albeit politically divided. Resistance to British conquest was qualitatively different, in that it was against a colonial enterprise, a subordination of the entire economy, polity and culture to the interests of the metropolitan power. The struggle against the wholesale submergence of the 'country' in a sense forged a 'nation', creating political unity out of a widely and often vaguely felt sense of cultural oneness. This accessible, episodically structured, and well-researched account of India's freedom struggle will appeal to all those who value freedom and are moved by stories of unflinching courage and self-sacrifice against apparently insuperable odds.
