But at least, they are trying to do something useful, while their mothers are only running a cooking club … The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence. The series complements school textbooks about the independence movement. As the stories are told from a child’s point of view, these stories bring the facts of the independence movement to vivid life in settings all over the country—and inspire each reader to engage with the idea of India.
