15 August 2017 marks seventy years of India?s freedom from British rule. Stories of the journey, which began on 15 August 1947, in fact much before that, abound. What better medium than books to narrate these stories ? the challenges
India faced, the failures and successes and how a country of 1.324 billion people, with its great heritage and individual and collective will, has the potential of embracing 2020 and beyond as a developed nation.
HarperCollins India brings you a series of voices in books that address issues of contemporary relevance, thoughts, actions and ideals that fired the nation?s conscience and shaped its polity. Some extraordinary writers ? a stalwart of
Indian literature, a diplomat, a group of journalists sharing a common love for Hindi film music, a young artist and an Indian national security intelligence specialist, among others, take a trip down memory lane to trace India?s history and its future.
From women in the freedom struggle to the trauma of Partition, from strife and wars to a deeply personal depiction of life in the pre-Partition era, from poets and patriots to the weary generations, HarperCollins India?s Freedom list
promises to offer readers a kaleidoscopic view of India, replete with its challenges and accomplishments.
