can read the stories themselves. Younger ones may want them read
aloud. The line drawings in each book are simple, arresting, curious
and appealing. Easy to colour in, they are based on authentic
references and provide a visual history of the times. freedom stories

OF JHANSI by
Sandhya Rao

Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi is a

behind the image.

STORY OF DANDI MARCH by
Sandhya Rao
art Ranjan De
|

The salt march led by Mahatma Gandhi in
1930 was a very important milestone in India’s independence. How did
one man manage to galvanise the entire nation into united action? What
did the march mean and why was it so important? The book raises and
answers these and other questions.

THE STORY OF 15TH
AUGUST by
Sandhya Rao art
Reginald Goveas
|
|
 |
The dawn of independence was drawn in
many colours. If there was exhilaration, there was also misery; if
there was hope, there was despair. The voices of children tell of the
separation of India and the birth of two nations, both free.
