Swarajyam

Set in the turbulent 1920s against the backdrop of India's Freedom Movement, this novel is set in Munganda village-a microcosm of an India through which Gandhi's call for political and social liberation is beginning to resound. The story of one man, one woman, and one village, in a wider sense, it is also the story of India's quest for freedom: from foreign rule as well as from entrenched prejudices, stifling social mores, and caste discrimination.
