Sinossi
Excerpt from Siri Ram Revolutionist: A Transcript From Life 1907-1910
When Skene arrived the Swami had begun his address. As he had expected, there was only one other European present, a missionary; but the hall was crammed with natives, among whom he recognised many of his students and professors. Nearly all the Hindus of the college were there and a sprinkling of Sikhs. It took him some seconds to realise that the meeting was different from anything he had imagined. He was in an atmosphere of intense excitement. He saw a thin, fragile little man standing alone on a platform, a palpable ascetic. And out of this weak frame issued a volume of sound which rang true with a genuine message. The Swami was informed with a spirit which seemed to shake him like a gust of wind. Sometimes, when he paused and threw out his arms and held them motionless after some burst of eloquence, you could see his thin, salmon coloured shift vibrate with inward emotion like a dragon-fly's wing. The young men were spellbound by it. Not a word would he utter until the quivering was still. The outstretched hand thrust the question home at them as the thunder in which it had been delivered died away. He seemed to be waiting for one of them to answer him, but no answer was possible.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging exploration of the Indian independence movement of the early 1900s, as seen through the intertwining fates of a group of college students in a small town. A diverse cast of characters is brought vividly to life by the author. There is the idealistic Principal Skene, the charismatic mystic Swami, the fervent nationalist Siri Ram, and many others whose paths entwine in unexpected ways. The story delves into themes of identity, cultural evolution, spiritual development, and political awakening. The author deftly weaves together historical events with poignant personal narratives, painting a rich tapestry of the pre-independence era. The book offers a fascinating lens into the complex interplay of tradition and modernity, and the often paradoxical nature of human motivation. Ultimately, this book provides a thought-provoking and immersive account of a pivotal moment in Indian history. It is a testament to the enduring power of individual courage, the resilience of the human spirit, and the profound impact of ideas in shaping the course of nations.
