In this volume Dr Seal analyses the social roots of the rather confused stirrings towards political organisations of the 1870s and 1880s which brought about the foundation of the Indian National Congress. He is concerned not only with the politicians, viceroys and civil servants but with the social structure of those parts of India where political movements were most prominent at the time. The emphasis of this work is more upon Indian politics than upon British policy: the associations in Bengal and Bombay, the genesis of the Congress and the Muslim breakaway which accentuated the political divisions in India.

A condensed account of the entire episode written in a manner to throw light to the hidden glory of Indians struggling for freedom. RIN MUTINY: 1946 is laudable to all freedom loving people. It contains not only the most authentic version of a leading participant in the Mutiny but also those who were associated with him in the Strike Committee. The book has also covered International and National press reports, participating warships and naval establishments all over the country. Reviews ``The book is certainly a very good attempt for an authentic portrayal of hitherto unpopular but sensitive event of Indian history. There is sufficient material for the students of history and inquisitive readers as well as research scholars''. Dr B. C. Kalita, Review Projector (India), Vol. 9, No. 7–9. The author of this book was a participant in the historic uprising of the courageous sailors who wrote a glorious chapter in the history of our freedom movement. This reviewer congratulates the author for the painstaking work that he took in making his own contribution and bringing together other valuable material. E.M.S. Namboodiripad, People’s Democracy, June 25, 1989. ``The book under review is a noble attempt to draw attention of both historians and the patriotic people to the immortal heroes within the military personnel who fought and died during India's struggle for freedom. Biswanath Bose's work has done a remarkable job by vividly presenting the history of a glorious battle which our official historians ignore wilfully to shield our national heroes, somewhat unjustifiably''.

Dr Brown presents a political study of the first clearly defined period in Mahatma Gandhi's Indian career, from 1915 to 1922. The period began with Gandhi's return from South Africa as a stranger to Indian politics, witnessed his dramatic assertion of leadership in the Indian National Congress of 1920 and ended with his imprisonment by the British after the collapse of his all-India civil disobedience movement against the raj. Focusing on Gandhi, this book nevertheless investigates the changing nature of Indian politics. It aims to study precisely what Gandhi did, on whom he relied for support, how he interacted with other nationalist leaders and how he saw his own role in Indian public life. Unlike the usual interpretation of Gandhi's rise to power as based on a charismatic appeal to the Indian masses, this study argues that his influence depended on a capacity to generate a network of lesser leaders, or subcontractors, who would organise their constituencies for him, whether these were caste, communal or economic groups or whole areas.
