My father late Shri. Jagdish Prasad Rajvanshi was a freedom fighter and was in Lucknow jail for 2.5 years during the 1942 freedom movement.
He wrote a book on his experiences in jail during that time. It was titled “Hawalaat” and was written in Hindi and published in 1947. This is an audio version of that book created by the team at Gaatha on Air. I am extremely grateful to them for creating it.
The book is out of print and there have been many requests by quite a number of readers who remembered reading it earlier on. I have digitized the book and put it on the net in 2018. nariphaltan.org/hawalaat.pdf
Shri. Jagdish Rajvanshi was born on 16 November 1918 and died on 4 March 2006. In 2018 November was his birth centenary. Putting this book on the net at that time was a small tribute to this remarkable man and an unsung hero of the freedom movement.
Shri. Jagdish Rajvanshi went to jail at a young age of 25 years. There were large number of such idealist youth who were inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and left their careers and future and joined the freedom movement. How I wish such a movement to come back again so that we can get rid of poverty, ignorance and hatred towards our countrymen. That will be a true independence.
I have written quite a bit about my father in my many books. Readers are encouraged to read about him in my autobiography: http://nariphaltan.org/mylife.pdf
I will be delighted to receive a feedback and comments on this book.
Warm regards,
Phaltan
