ABOUT THE BOOK
Rebels Against the Raj tells the story of seven people who chose to
struggle for a country other than their own: foreigners to India who
across the late 19th to late 20th century arrived to join the freedom
movement fighting for independence from British colonial rule.
Of the seven, four were British, two American, and one Irish. Four men,
three women. Before and after being jailed or deported they did remarkable
and pioneering work in a variety of fields: journalism, social reform,
education, the emancipation of women, environmentalism.
This book tells their stories, each renegade motivated by idealism and
genuine sacrifice; each connected to Gandhi, though some as acolytes
where others found endless infuriation in his views; each understanding
they would likely face prison sentences for their resistance, and likely live
and die in India; each one leaving a profound impact on the region in which
they worked, their legacies continuing through the institutions they founded
and the generations and individuals they inspired. Through these entwined
lives, wonderfully told by one of the world's finest historians, we reach deep
insights into relations between India and the West, and India's story as a
country searching for its identity and liberty beyond British colonial rule.
