"Far from claiming any credit for achievements of 1942 Quit India], both Gandhi and the Congress offered apology and explanation for the 'madness' which seized the people participating in it." -Noted historian Dr RC Majumdar "I see it as clearly as I see my finger: British are leaving not because of any strength on our part but because of historical conditions and for many other reasons." -Mahatma Gandhi This book comprehensively covers all the factors that really led to the freedom of India from the British. Chapter-1 covers prominent international timelines, particularly that of World War-I and World War-II, that had major bearings on India's freedom. Chapter-2, a mega chapter, chronologically covers all timelines, events, and developments relevant to the Indian Freedom Movements-revolutionary, constitutional and Gandhian- right since 1600 CE. Chapter-3 covers the three major, once-in-a-decade Gandhian Movements-all of which, unfortunately, were major failures. Chapter-4 covers Netaji Subhas Bose, his INA, and the army mutinies that hugely contributed to winning freedom for India. Chapter-5 evaluates the Gandhian Movement, and compares it with the other freedom movements-revolutionary and constitutional. Chapter-6, the last chapter, analyses in detail 'What Really Led to Freedom'. Ambitious coverage of this book would have required over a thousand pages to do full justice to the topics. However, this project (book) is restricted to presenting a comprehensive yet compressed view of the relevant factors, events and timelines. It is a summarised work deliberately limited to as few pages as possible. www.rkpbooks.com
