It Is An Epic Saga Of India&Rsquo;S Nationalist Awakening, Viewed Through The Eyes Of One Young Man, An Orthodox Hindu Who Defines Himself Against The British Colonialist Culture And Finds Himself Approaching His Nationalist Identity Through The Prism Of Organized Religion. First Published In 1907, Gora Questions The Dogmas And Presuppositions Inherent In Nationalist Thought Like Few Books Have Dared To Do. This New, Lucid And Vibrant Translation Brings The Complete And Unabridged Text Of The Classic To A New Generation Of Readers, Underlining Its Contemporary Relevance.
