It explains for the first time why Hans Raj Vohra turned approver and betrayed Bhagat Singh, and throws new light on Sukhdev, whose loyalties have been questioned by some historians. But most of all it puts in perspective Bhagat Singh’s use of violence, so strongly condemned by Gandhi and many others as being extremist. Erudite and engaging, this book is a fascinating portrait of one of India’s greatest freedom fighters and a man of rare intellectual honesty. | व्यक्तिरंग | Biographical | चरित्र-आत्मचरित्र | Political | राजकीय | 300 | Shaheed_RGB | Shaheed_BackBC.jpg |
