Damodaran travels the length and breadth of the country--from places that played an important role in the Independence movement, such as Sabarmati, Dandi and Jhansi, to sites of contemporary significance, like Nandigram, Unnao and Kudankulam--meeting survivors of riots, descendants of freedom fighters, social workers, environmental activists, farmers and ordinary citizens to discover what freedom means to them. A genre-bending book, In Pursuit of Freedom touches upon several critical issues-- religion, economic disparity, gender, environment, politics--as it blends travelogue and memoir, history and current affairs. Spectacular and insightful, this on-the-ground narrative of todays India is a must-read...
