Amar Chitra Katha presents Tribal Leaders of the Freedom Struggle, a collection of untold stories of 20 brave tribal leaders. These were the freedom fighters who united their tribes to revolt against their oppressors and inspired millions to fight and do the same. From Helen Lepcha of Sikkim to Thalakkal Chanthu of Kerala, from Chakra Bisoi of Odisha to Raghojirao Bhangre of Maharashtra, these forgotten warriors fought using guerilla warfare and grassroots strategies. Their tales of sacrifice, honour, integrity and above all, tremendous courage, have made our understanding of the word ‘freedom’ more meaningful.

This book introduces the readers to the dynamics of various kinds of social movements. It examines how social movements have become an instrument of social change including assertion of identity and protest against marginalisation. This book describes three major domains – conceptual, experiential, and the impact of globalisation on social movements. The volume begins by locating social movements within broad and contemporary social processes and explores the intrinsic and complex patterns of dynamics among state, market, and social movements from a critical sociological perspective. It explains the meaning, basic features, origins and types, leadership and ideology, and perspectives of social movements and probes into major experiences of eight social movements in India, namely, peasant and farmers, tribal, Naxalite and Maoist, Dalit, working class, women, ethnic, and environmental movements. This book also analyses the role of information technology, media, and civil society in the spread and continuation of such movements. The experiences of queer, new religious, anti-systemic, and anti-displacement movements would also help readers understand how globalisation has offered new avenues of protest to diverse sections of the population. Lessons of anti-globalisation movements across the world provide a futuristic perspective in assessing the strength of social movements in a global society. This book will be useful to the students, researchers, and faculty working in the field of political science, sociology, gender studies, and post-colonial contemporary Indian politics in particular. It will also be an invaluable and interesting reading for those interested in South Asian studies.
