Description
As the Indian independence movement progressed-from the economic
critique of colonial rule by the early nationalists, to the unequivocal demand
for Purna Swaraj and the immense moral authority of the Mahatma Gandhiled
resistance-the notion of an equal society that ensured dignity to all-
irrespective of caste, class, gender or religion-came to occupy a central
place in it. By the time the Constituent Assembly met in December 1946,
not just civil rights, but the particular rights of women, of minorities, of the
Depressed Classes and the Adivasis were being articulated and demanded,
not as favours but as a matter of course. As the editor of this volume writes in
his brilliant introduction, the effect of the speeches delivered by the leaders
of our national movement was to focus 'political action towards scripting an
ennobling nationalism that would give us a just and equal society'.
Building a Free India brings together these landmark speeches delivered over
roughly a century by the leading lights of the national movement-from
Naoroji, Surendranath Banerjee, Bhikaiji Cama, Lajpat Rai and Tilak, to
Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Bose, Sarojini Naidu and Maulana Azad-as well
as a range of lesser-known but equally remarkable figures. This unprecedented
collection is not only an invaluable history of our freedom movement but
also of the ideas of universal equality, dignity and justice that are-and must
always remain-at the root of our democracy.
