From the acclaimed author of “India After Gandhi”, a group biography of seven remarkable men and women arrived in India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in order to join the freedom movement and struggle for a country and people other than their own.
In “Renegades”, Ramachandra Guha gives us a vivid and little-known account of these seven foreigners who devoted themselves to the Indian freedom movement, understanding they would likely face prison for their actions, and possibly die for the cause. He shows us that what they were able to accomplish before and after their jail terms was pioneering work in a variety of fields.
