[ ...] A critique of traditional history presented in the book could be summed up as: “ the Ghadar history was distorted by the way of appropriating and co-opting the historic role of real freedom fighters as pan-Indian phenomenon in Indian nationalistic perspective as to help the Nation State building project laced to the majority cultural and historical hegemony. And, the Left intellectuals have been collaborator of Indian national elite in this project. Communists from Punjab, invariably, helped in muddling up the history which for them began from 1920s as if they have nothing do with what had happened prior to that”.
