Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Great War began in the muddy trenches of Europe-but its echoes thundered through the streets of Calcutta, the fields of Punjab, the docks of Rangoon and deserts of Arabia. Between 1914 and 1920 India was not a silent colony; it was the empire's arsenal, its purse, and its hidden battlefield. This book unravels fifty years of revolutionary ferment: the philosophical birth in 1905, the brutal suppression by 1910, and the internationalised revolutionary strands of 1910-1917 that turned the First World War into an opportunity for India's freedom fighters.As the revolutionaries fought not only in India but in South East Asia, Afghanistan, US, Canada, Paris, Istanbul, Berlin and London - new ideas of socialism and nationalism emerged and the idea of India as Bharat itself was formed.Bold in its narrative, well researched and challenges the euro-centric narrative of the great war, which quiet literally forgets the huge Ottoman fronts of Asia, Africa and creation of the entire geopolitical entity which we today know as the Middle East. A century of Global Conflict from Russia - Ukraine, Israel - Palestine, Poland, Balkans and the rise of Nazism & Communism and finally the partition of India in 1947 - all seeded in the Great War.This book is perfect for readers who want to know the unknown stories of Indian Revolution & World War I from India's vantage.…
