Read excerpt
The meaning of India’s independence was not merely freedom from British rule. The dream of the freedom movement was to build an India that was economically self-reliant, capable of developing its own scientific and technological capabilities, able to take independent decisions in world politics, maintain friendly relations with all countries, and raise its voice against imperialism and war.
