Hardcover. Condition: New. Forgotten Patriots challenges the dominant historiographical narrative of India's struggle for independence, which is often centred around iconic figures, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose. This work shifts focus to the unsung heroes ordinary men and women from diverse socio-economic, regional, and cultural backgrounds whose contributions were equally instrumental in dismantling the British colonial rule. By examining the grassroots dimensions of the movement, this book highlights the decentralized, inclusive nature of the struggle, revealing a more nuanced and multifaceted narrative. Through a synthesis of oral histories, archival research, and regional perspectives, this book expands the historical record, emphasizing the sacrifices and perseverance of teachers, labourers, tribal leaders, social reformers, poets, and women. By highlighting figures, such as Kanaklata Barua, Alluri Sitarama Raju, Aruna Asaf Ali, and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Forgotten Patriots underscores the democratic and collective ethos that permeated the independence movement. It also delves into the moral dimensions of resistance, exploring the enduring hardships imprisonment, torture, and death endured by these individuals in the name of freedom. In doing so, the book not only commemorates their invaluable contributions but also offers a redefined understanding of India's path towards liberation, underscoring the power of collective action, resilience, and societal transformation. This book is essential for re-imagining the history of Indian Independence, offering important insights for scholars, activists, and those interested in the diverse forces that shaped India's fight for freedom.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The book delves into the educational challenges that indigenous groups faced during the late 18th and 19th centuries and examines how they responded to these challenges and threats. It centres on the historical evolution of education in the Bengal Presidency and the North-Western Provinces, with a particular emphasis on the roles of pandits, maulvis, and other influential figures within indigenous society.Up until the 19th century, questions about the nature of knowledge, the most effective methods of transmitting it, and the societal responsibilities toward educating the youth were not monopolized by any single entity. In most of Europe, private actors, rather than the state, assumed the role of the dominant authority controlling the definition and dissemination of knowledge. This trend gradually marginalized local knowledge and traditional ways of life. In contrast, the colonial state in India did not encourage "local agencies" to actively participate in the process of knowledge formation. Instead, under colonialism, indigenous institutions and educators became agents of the state. It's important to clarify the term "indigenous" in this context. Here, it refers to all educational institutions that served the local population, taught pre-British curricula, were staffed by Indian or native teachers, and initially received patronage from local elites. However, over time, colonial authorities began providing funding and assuming patronage of these institutions, which subsequently led to changes in their structures. Traces the path of a developing knowledge system, focusing on the journey of Western knowledge as it integrates, grafts onto, and transforms within established indigenous institutions.
