"Set in British India of the 1920s, Waiting for Swaraj follows the cadence and tempo
of the lives of the intrepid revolutionaries of the Hindustan Republican Association
and the Hindustan Republican Socialist Association, two organizations that challenged
the occupational forces of the time. This book seeks to comprehend the revolutionaries'
self-conception and dwells on some of the key questions like: what makes a revolutionary?
What did it mean to be a revolutionary? How did a revolutionary live out the vision
of revolution? Did life in revolution transform an individual; what was their truth
and how was it different from that of the others? It locates the essence of being
a revolutionary not just in the spectacular moments when the revolutionaries threw
a bomb or carried out a political assassination but studies them in everyday conversations,
banter, anecdotes, and in the stray fragments of the life in underground. This book
demonstrates how 'waiting' was the crucible that forged a revolutionary. It did so
not by robbing the young men of the romance of resistance but by coddling, nurturing,
and emboldening it. This monograph is an exploration of the rich, variegated, and
intimate history of revolution as praxis. Moving away from a traditional model the
author experiments with methodology and style of narration in Waiting for Swaraj.
Written in lucid prose, it ambitions to appeal to a much wider audience beyond the
academia"
