In the hustle bustle of our daily lives, we often forget the magnificent role of hundreds and thousands of people who gave their lives, the best years of their lives, their wealth, position and fame to make this day possible for us. It is impossible to chronicle the sacrifices of these unsung heroes. This books is a humble effort to trace the lives of some of leaders of that revolutionary era; Gandhi, Patel, Nehru, Azad and Ambedkar. Each of them played a role in shaping the form and direction of the freedom movement. They had a vision...of a free and prosperous nation lived in by healthy, happy people, Rereading their lives may help us in reaffirming our faith in that vision aIndia aMohandas Karamchand Gandhi aJawahar Lal Nehru aVallabh Bhai Patel aAbul Kalam Azad aB R Ambedkar aChakravarty (A)
