Niranjan Ramakrishnan ()

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: In popular belief, Bhagat Singh and Gandhi occupy two antipodes in India's struggle for freedom – the former representing the young generation impatient to overthrow foreign rule by any means necessary, the latter navigating a plodding course alternating between negotiation and struggle. The truth is that they had a lot in common.
