About the Book

The book, The Seer of Bharatiya Awakening: Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, is the outcome of a modest attempt to critically analyze the body of work of one of the most important personalities of the Bharatiya Freedom Movement, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, and assess its impact on the national psyche. In all his writings, Bankim’s refrain was nation. Bankim, whose works inspired legions of revolutionaries and freedom fighters, not only gave Bharat its national song but also a new dimension to the conception of the nation—Bharat Mata.
