About the Book: The Narayanpur Incident
A powerful story about the real meaning of freedom, set against the backdrop of
the Quit India Movement
8 August 1942. As Gandiji and prominent leaders are put in jail, Babu and Manju
suddenly find themselves a part of the larger protests--their schools close down
and their father is put behind bars. Their daring brother Mohan goes underground
and the rest of the family moves to Narayanpur, a sleepy little village
seemingly untouched by the turbulence in the country. But Narayanpur is seething
within and it all comes to a head when a group of children dare to confront the
police.
