This book tells us the story of Chandra Shekar Azad, one of India's youngest freedom fighters. I was shocked to see him telling inquilab zindabad when he was being whipped mercilessly by the soldiers because anyone else would have broken down feeling the agonising pain. I was happy to notice that he was such an expert in changing his disguises to avoid being caught by the British. The part where he gets hanged was quite disturbing because he died at such a young age. I was elated that the British finally got a sense of fear because they were acting very fearlessly for a long time. The part where he shoots himself to escape the British was quite disturbing and it had shown his bravery . Even when the police shot one of his hands, he killed many officers with his left hand and it shows that he was a very brave man. Overall, this was a very good book and I rate it 5 stars because it has all the details of this great freedom fighter.

Loved it. Proud to have "Chandra sekar" as my middle name, even though for different reasons. He was only 25 poor soul. RIP. Everytime we feel beaten because of "bias", "unfair treatment", "patriarchy" and what not, let us remind ourselves of the brave young man "Chandra Shekhar Azad". Let us not give up, quietly let us stand for ourselves, our rights and equality. By doing so silently we stand for many oppressed.
