N1  - This is the first time that Sachindra Nath Sanyal’s famous autobiography Bandi Jeevan: A Life in Chains has been translated into English.

The book is not merely interesting as the personal testimony of a key leader of the armed resistance to British colonial rule, but is in itself notable for inspiring several generations of revolutionaries across India. Indeed, it provides a direct insight into the ideas and personality of a freedom fighter who inspired and mentored the likes of Bhagat Singh, Rajendra Lahiri, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ram Prasad Bismil, Ashfaqullah Khan and many others.

The book is packed with vivid first-hand descriptions of major historical events, the lives and motivations of the remarkable individuals who sacrificed their lives for India, their fears and their dreams. A must-read first-hand account from the early days of the independence movement
