"This multivolumes illuminate the role played by the freedom fighters during the freedom struggle. In fact, besides majority community and all minorities have played important role in freedom struggle. Dalit leaders equally played important role in 1857. This multivolumes thus highlight the contributions of people from all sections of society in the Freedom Movement during Indian Freedom.

This is an attempt to draw upon their remembrance of the freedom struggle. Efforts have been made to include freedom fighters from various regions. The reminiscences of these unsung heroes reveal deep dedication and spirit with which they fought against the atrocities of the British Regime risking their life and profession.

The history of Freedom Movement would be incomplete without mentioning the contribution of women. In the volume IV, we can study about women who participated in the freedom struggle and made rich contribution in various ways. Some of them were imprisoned, fined and suffered for Freedom Movement, and their contribution cannot be overlooked. The great contribution of these ladies should be brought to the knowledge of the present generation and this would be the best way to pay homage to them. This multivolumes are a tribute to the Freedom Fighters in India\'s Freedom Movements." (jacket)
