Akbar's journalistic treatment combines the biography of Jawaharlal Nehru with the history of the Indian Independence Movement from 1890 to 1948. What results encompasses shallow biography and an interesting interpretation of relationships between the British and Jinnah's Muslim League. Akbar takes the position that a British deal with the Muslim League in 1940 served as the springboard for an independent Pakistan. Here Akbar misses the point of British wartime desires to draw on the Muslim's martial qualities while dividing India under imperial rule. Throughout the work are vignettes of key Congress Party leaders and descriptions of their place in the Freedom Movement. The author's scattered anti-imperialist rhetoric should make the work acceptable to his native readership.
