About the Book
Yashpal emerges as a highly committed writer as far as his portrayal of the social and political issues of his time is concerned. His experiences as a freedom fighter and as a bitter opponent of colonial rule are reflected in his writings. Covering a wide spectrum of society, Yashpal’s works also highlight injustice and malpractices that have been rampant in our society. This book attempts to pen the great saga of India’s freedom struggle, catastrophic partition, etc. from the pen of a bomb-making, bomb-throwing terrorist turned into a compassionate writer. His works not only highlight his role in India’s freedom movement but also traversed the arduous journey from being a revolutionary to a seditious writer. Rooting itself deeply in the historical and cultural context, this book can be seen as a historical document for speaking about the place, peculiar time, mental attitude and era’s outlook. In other words, this book aims to keep the significance of events intact without letting it fade away with time and age.
