The author opens a forgotten chapter of Indian history – a movement culminating in an occasion of supreme sacrifice by Adivasis in Rajasthan’s Banswara area. Six years before the Jallianwala Bagh incident at Amritsar, Mangarh hills in Rajputana witnessed the death of several hundred tribals who stood up in protest against the oppression of the Raj. The forces of the British and native rulers surrounded them. The Adivasis, under the leadership of spiritual guru and reformer Govind Bhagat, fought valiantly and died as martyrs. Sadly, the heartbreaking story has remained chiefly unknown outside Rajasthan. It is one story that needs to be told and retold to generations of Indians. The author’s painstaking research and his understanding of local history and culture result in the detailed reconstruction of a tragic yet glorious saga that should remain permanently etched in the Indian mind.
