इन्हीं हथियारों से

In August 1942, during the Quit India movement, British rule collapsed for a few days in Ballia district of eastern Uttar Pradesh and villages set up panchayat governments of their own. The novel follows a crowd of ordinary people from the district, none of them famous, as they go on with their everyday social lives and are pulled by circumstance into the struggle for freedom. It is not a chronicle of historical events but an imagined story that follows these lives from 1942 to independence, with the ideas of Gandhi running through it.
