Preface This is a book on Indian political history of the time of India's freedom movement. Gandhi has his own philosophy, Subhash has his own. The first is a reformist, while the latter is a revolutionist. Objectives of the two are same. But ways to the same goal are utterly different. The book clarifies the actual picture behind the scene. It clearly defines the "who, what, where, when and how" of the main course during freedom movement and role of the two big personalities. The book has been written mentioning its different positive-negative aspects. It contains several plus as well as minus points of the two. All pros and cons of the subject are honestly elaborated. The author does not like appeasement. The book may be quarrelsome or nagging for some people. But learning like this is a must. The author, Shri Kamlakant Tripathi, is a former Professor at Gorakhpur University and retired Chief Commissioner at Revenue Department, Government of India. Motto of this book is to spread the learning of the role of the two big political personalities of different minds in the correct sense. Readers are requested to go through the book thoroughly. You will find bits of knowledge and points of information. While publishing this book, we took utmost care to make it error free. However, to err is human.
