📖 About the Book

Rajnaitik Sannyasi is a research-based exploration of the unsung chapters of India’s freedom struggle, focusing on the lives of several sannyasis (renunciants) who played key roles, both directly and indirectly, in India’s fight for independence. Despite their significant contributions, many of these figures were later overshadowed or forgotten in the larger political context of the nation’s history.

This book highlights:

• The role of spiritual leaders such as Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, and Pranavananda, who were not only influential in spiritual circles but also in the Indian nationalist movement

• The historical and political context in which these sannyasis became involved in the freedom struggle, and how they later distanced themselves from mainstream politics

• A deep research study into the forgotten chapters of India's independence movement, where these leaders’ contributions were overlooked or erased by conventional historical narratives

• The personal stories and philosophies of these spiritual leaders who balanced their commitments to spirituality with a deep love for their country and its people

Rajnaitik Sannyasi uncovers the often untold stories of these revolutionary sannyasis, who were not only spiritual guides but also political influencers, shaping India's future while staying true to their vow of renunciation. The author, Soumya Basu, delves into their life stories, examining the complex relationship between spirituality and politics in India’s fight for independence.

Illustrated by Chiranjit Das, the visuals complement the historical analysis, adding depth to the exploration of these significant yet often overlooked figures.

Perfect for readers interested in Indian history, spirituality, and freedom struggle narratives from a unique perspective.
