Focussing on the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA), A
Revolutionary History delivers a fresh perspective on the
ambitions, ideologies and practices of this influential
organisation, formed by Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh and
inspired by transnational anti-imperial dissent. It is a new
interpretation of the activities and political impact of the north
Indian revolution- aries who advocated the use of political
violence against the British. Kama Maclean contends that the
actions of these revolutionaries had a direct impact on Congress
politics and tested its policy of non- violence. In doing so she
draws on visual culture studies, demonstrating the efficacy of
imagery in constructing - as opposed to merely illustrating -
historical narratives. Maclean analyses visual evidence alongside
recently declassified government files, memoirs and interviews to
elabo- rate on the complex relationships between the Congress and
the HSRA, which were far less an- tagonistic than is frequently
imagined.
