About the Book

This thought-provoking Marathi collection by V. S. Khandekar is an exclusive set of short stories crafted to inspire introspection among both teenagers and adults. The stories reflect on the immense sacrifices made by countless individuals who gave up their personal ambitions, comforts, and lives for the noble cause of India’s independence. Guided by stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Lokmanya Tilak, these freedom fighters dreamed of building an ideal and just society.

But do the current and future generations truly understand the value of those sacrifices? As modern India strides forward, are moral values and social responsibilities being sidelined in favor of personal gain and material success? What happens if the spirit of sacrifice fades—will the torch of righteousness be extinguished, or will it continue to burn bright?

Through these compelling stories, V. S. Khandekar raises important moral questions and subtly emphasizes the values essential for a balanced, just, and humane society. With his distinctive storytelling style, he delivers timeless messages in a way that resonates with readers of all ages.

This book is not just a literary collection, but a moral compass that encourages reflection and responsibility in a free India.
