{"product_id":"rebels-against-the-raj","title":"Rebels Against The Raj","description":"\u003cp\u003eRebels Against the Raj tells the story of seven people who chose to struggle for a country other than their own: foreigners to India who across the late 19th to late 20th century arrived to join the freedom movement fighting for independence from British colonial rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf the seven, four were British, two American, and one Irish. Four men, three women. Before and after being jailed or deported they did remarkable and pioneering work in a variety of fields: journalism, social reform, education, the emancipation of women, environmentalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book narrates their stories, each renegade motivated by idealism and genuine sacrifice; each connected to Gandhi, though some as acolytes where others were often infuriated by his views\u003cbr\u003e\n; each understanding they would likely face prison sentences for their resistance, and likely live and die in India; each one leaving a profound impact on the region in which they worked, their legacies continuing through the institutions they founded and the generations and individuals they inspired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough these entwined lives, wonderfully told by one of the world's finest historians, we reach deep insights into relations between India and the West, and India's story as a country searching for its identity and liberty beyond British colonial rule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45153487552691,"sku":"9780143464372","price":400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/71mfkCVE9WL.jpg?v=1764186426","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/rebels-against-the-raj","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
