Description
Thakur Chandan Singh (1887-1968) was a gifted writer, an accomplished journalist, an eloquent orator and a committed freedom fighter. This book features this eminent Indian Gorkha.
He was a social activist who found a strong parallel and a vicious nexus between the colonial British regime in India and the ruthless Rana regime in Nepal. He had definite socialist instincts that were very often reflected in his long and profound discourses to his organization he founded viz., the All India Gorkha League.
He started and edited very well known Nepali newspapers and profusely contributed to the freedom movement in India. An eminent Indian Gorkha, Thakur the humanist was more vibrant than the political activist who valiantly fought the caste based social structure and rabid communalism that characterized the then India.
