Following the first World War, when the war-time special legal sanctions were being revoked, the British, in order to curb terrorist activities in India, felt the need of some new repressive enactments. Branded as “Terrorists” by the British, militant nationalists in India, through their selfless, violent political activities, with all their ups and downs, could draw the attention of the freedom-loving people of India in general and the eastern India in particular. The book represents an account of nationalist revolutionary activities during three decades from 1907, as recorded by the Home Department of British India.
