This is a rejoinder to suppressed histories.

The role of minorities in India's struggle for freedom has been praise-worthy in every sense of the term. They played an immensely important role there. Unfortunately, however, that brilliant role does not occupy any meaningful space in our historical discourses. The present work corrects the distortion and draws the picture of the minorities' role in India's freedom struggle in colours true to history. Almost all the minorities- Muslims, Sikhs, Parsis, Christians, etc - have been given their due space here.
