This book is the explosive account of an Indian woman, who took up arms to drive out the British from India.

"We are reduced to a nation of clerks and coolies but the fire of liberty burns bright in our hearts. We were killed off in millions by famines and flood year after year. And yet we have managed to pass on the tiny spark to our children. And again, and again the tiny spark has burst out into flames. Once again, we are summoned by history to a conflagration. And we are ready to make ourselves living torches to set alight this vicious prison which is imperialism." - An unknown Daughter of India

"Chalo Delhi"! "Jai Hind"!...With these immortal slogans Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose raised the war cry of Indian independence. Thousands of men and women from all across Asia answered his appeal and joined the Indian National Army (INA). This book is the eyewitness account of one such participant of these ferocious battles which shook the foundation of the British rule in India. This daughter of India took up the gun to fight with the Rani of Jhansi regiment of the INA.
