REVOLUTIONARIES OF INDIA: Compiled by Ravi Valluri, Lakshmi Valluri
Introduction
"Revolutionaries of India" is a collection of unknown revolutionaries. In this anthology, 40 authors have contributed about different revolutionaries in English or Hindi. The efforts put up by the authors could be felt in the initial pages.
I am part of this anthology as this is my first book. I started writing about the revolution a long time ago but got a chance to get selected and submit my article here.
The book was launched on 14th September 2024 in Delhi. At the launch, many authors and chief guests praised the book.
Why this book?
This book is an acknowledgement of the different unnoticed yet really incredible people/gallant ladies of the Indian open door.
We have been taught by the narrative of a tranquil fight, but there was meanwhile a huge inclination to severe fight to free our country.
This bilingual assemblage tries to plug the openings. It is an affirmation and will make people canny to the enormous, charitable responsibilities to our chance.
The makers make a phenomenal appearance of making an imprint on the world open and secure. The making is clear, essentially creative every so often, and you can feel the energy in each sentence. Clearly, the columnists aren't just understudies of history — they are storytellers, twisting together real factors and sentiments to such an extent that revive history.
The recorded voice is both brilliant and persuasive, asking the reader to consider the repentances made by these memorable neglected legends. The bilingual design, including both English and Hindi, adds a wonderful layer, connecting with a greater group across India. The predictable blend of articles and pieces furthermore ensures that the book never feels monotonous.
The hero component of Reformists of India is its consideration of women warriors. I wound up drawn to the accounts of these marvelous women, who opposed social principles to take up arms. The story isn't just about commending the men we certainly know — about lauding the responsibilities of women in combat one close to the next.

The book furthermore uncovers the understanding of the less famous reformists, such as Chittu Pandey, who liberated the Ballia district sometime before independence. These are stories that draw out a profound fulfilment and, genuinely, a hint of liability regarding not being known about them sooner.
Conclusion
Revolutionaries of India (1857-1947) is a must-read for anyone interested in India’s history. It’s not just a history lesson—it’s a reminder of the incredible sacrifices made by countless individuals, many of whom we’ve never heard of. This book is a powerful tribute to those who gave everything for our freedom, and it’s a book that every Indian should read.

Congratulations. This is a must read then, and I look forward to knowing more about the unsung heroes of our countries. More power to our country who has such brave people and more power to authors like you for bringing them to light.
ReplyDelete1st of all congratulations for this book and your contribution towards it. It sounds bit different book which we hardly get to read in general. I am curious to read and know about the viewpoint and opinion of the authors of this book. Women are always inspirational and it depends on others to decide as how to get inspired by them and do fruitful and meaningful things in lives.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great initiative. Revolutionaries who put everything that they had at stake for the cause of freedom must be eulogies and celebrated. But in our system, we hardly hear about them other than contribution of one family and one party. So much so, Netaji Subhash Bose did not have a photograph in the parliament till Atal Bihari Vajpayee government came to power. Plaque of Veer Savarkar was thrown out of cellular jail during UPA era. Next generation must learn about revolutionaries and the neglect they felt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteHeartiest congratulations on the book launch. We should encourage children and young adults to read more such book to get inspiration from.
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud to be a part of *Revolutionaries of India*, a powerful anthology shedding light on the unsung heroes who played a crucial role in our freedom struggle. My contribution, a poem dedicated to Rani Lakshmi Bai, reflects the strength and courage of this iconic warrior. It's humbling to see the collective efforts of 40 authors coming together to honor these incredible individuals, especially the women who fought against all odds. This book is a tribute to their sacrifices, and I’m grateful to have been part of it! #RevolutionariesOfIndia #FreedomFighters #IndianHistory

ReplyDeleteCongratulations for being part of such an important and amazing book! There's so little we know about our true revolutionaries so bringing them in one place is definitely a big accomplishment. Will check this out for sure.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this and very interesting at that.
ReplyDeleteHowever , some of the words used in this post caused some confusion . Some editing would sort it out. For example , I quite didn't understand what Indian open door means. I also felt instead of unnoticed , unsung would be a better word.
Same with sentences like
"tranquil fight, but there was meanwhile a huge inclination to severe fight"
I hope this comment is taken in the spirit it is given that is to improve our writing. Thank you
