JULIUS LIPNER Professor emeritus of Hinduism, University of Cambridge

‘In this learned and fascinating study, Professor Lal brings to life India’s struggle for freedom from British rule by subtly
knitting together, through images, in its different forms, and graphic word, India’s passage to independence … From it
we learn progressively that it is not only the militant agitator who becomes an agent of social and political change, but
the militant artist as well.’
