Banda Bahadur was a versatile personality of the eighteenth century India, who aroused the dormant energies of the oppressed people groaning under the agony of pain. By his constant struggle and sacrifices, he filled the hearts of the down-trodden, oppressed and suppressed poor people of India with a lofty longing for socio-economic and political freedom and for some time he was successful in his chosen mission. He lived and died like a true hero. He was an exemplary patriot, a brave warrior, a lover of freedom and a man whose self-respect and sensitivity was superb. But Banda Bahadur continues to be one of those few historical figures who have defied the judgement not only of their contemporaries but also of posterity. Keeping this in view, Dr. Raj Pal Singh, has attempted to fulfil the need of studying Banda Bahadur’s multi-dimensional role in an objective manner and setting to the maximum possible extent the misgivings about him and his career. The present book has been divided into nine chapters. The author has tried to do justice to the historic part played by Banda Bahadur with considerable clarity and authority. It is hoped that the readers of this biography will share the effort put in by Dr. Singh.
