Most people believe India's struggle for independence to have begun
with Mahatma Gandhi. Little credit goes to the proof that this call
for a mass movement did not arise out of a void. For the past
century and more, historians have overlooked the phase of
twenty-five years of intense creative endeavour preceding and
preparing for the Mahatma's advent. The reason for this systematic
omission has been the fundamentally radical nature of the
revolutionary programme put to practice by Indian leaders of late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Jugantar was
diametrically distinct from the dream of non-violence floated by
the Mahatma and the Congress. Very well documented with inputs from
Indian, European and American archives, the present study carefully
straightenes out the origins - philosophical, historical and
religious and intellectual, so to say - of Indian nationalism. From
Rammohun to Sri Aurobindo, passing through Marx and Tagore, the
full set of ideological views has been analysed here. Unknown up to
this day, the sustained focus in this volume on the outlook and the
activities of these revolutionaries inside India and abroad brings
home the 'very sophisticated understanding of the contemporary
political reality' that made their leader Jatindranath Mukherjee,
the 'right hand man' of Sri Aurobindo, the very emblem of an epoch
and its aspirations. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not
