    The history of India's struggle for freedom is usually told from the perspective of the non-violent movement. Yet, the story of armed resistance to colonial occupation is just as important. Names such as Vinayak Savarkar, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari Bose, Bagha Jatin, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Subhas Chandra Bose are still widely remembered. Their story is almost always presented as acts of individual heroism and not as part of a wider movement that had any overarching strategy or significant impact on the overall struggle for Independence. In reality, the revolutionaries were part of a large network that sustained armed resistance against the British Empire for half a century. They not only created a wide network inside India but also established nodes in Britain, France, Thailand, Germany, Persia, Russia, Italy, Ireland, the United States, Japan and Singapore. At various points, they received official support and recognition from the governments of some of these countries. Even the internal dynamics of the Indian National Congress of the time cannot be understood without the revolutionaries, who enjoyed widespread support within the organization. This was no small-scale movement of naive individual heroism but one that involved a large number of extraordinary young men and women who were connected in multiple ways to each other and to the evolving events of their times.
    Revolutionaries tells their story, one that is replete with swashbuckling adventure, intrigue, espionage, incredible bravery, diabolical treachery and shockingly unpredictable twists of fate.

    The current generation of Indians have absolutely no idea about how many of their ancestors have laid down their lives just so that they are living in (at least somewhat) free India today.
    Today's generation of youth are merely enjoyers and pleasure seekers, but behind us goes back at least a 1,000 years (and more) of non-stop sacrifices.

      Revolutionary Barin Ghosh also wrote a so called ' Pardon ' letter like Vir Savarkar and released.
      All are respectable as a freedom fighters and we all should know our past history.
      Revolutionary Sachindra Sanyal also wrote pardon letter and released from Andaman and was sent Andaman again for his revolutionary work.
      ' Vande Mataram ' was their source of inspiration and I think that ' Vande Mataram ' is the best way to say we are all children of our Mother Bharat.

    Thank you Sanyal for this magnificent work; I’m a follower of Sri Aurobindo and have long noted the want of recognition for his role in our Motherland’s freedom. Also, thanks so much for casting a light on the distorted history as promulgated by the largely leftist government that came to power post independence. This further confirms my inhibition to acknowledge the Nehruvian dynasty and Gandhi beyond bare essentials.

    Why be apologetic about Hinsa ? British left India due to economic issues and Naval Mutiny. Had it been left to Gandhi and Nehru kinds, we would still have been under the British, and maybe would have done better as a populace, as the example of Taiwan shows, though prior experience with British shows otherwise.

    Sanyal says nobody knew about communism in India and in the next sentence says CPI was formed in the early 20s. He says nobody knew about communism before 1917-18. While we had a book in Malayalam on Karl Marx in 1912 by swadeshabhimani ramakrishnapilla. And this scholar or revolutionaries doesn't even know Lala Hardayal had written about Marx and communism.
    What a shame that people are following this propagandist without ever using their mind.
