This is a photographic biography in tribute to a great revolutionary Indian freedom fighter, Pandit Shyamaji Krishnavarma. He began India’s Freedom movement in London, twenty years before Gandhiji entered into the arena of Indian Freedom movement. Due to political a conspiracy, Pandit Shyamaji’s name is not as well-known as Gandhiji. However, his sacrifice for his Motherland was far greater than any other famous Indian freedom fighters, who were exalted after Indian Independence. Pandit Shyamaji established “Indian Home Rule Society”, published “Indian Sociologist” a beacon for Indian Independence and established “India House”, a hostel for Indian students to reside in London from 1905.
He pioneered the Non-cooperation Movement, who demanded, Sampurna Swarajya, complete freedom of India twenty-four years before Gandghiji necessitated it in 1929. Pandit Shyamaji was the first person to contest against the British salt policy and called it "a grievous salt monopoly" twenty-five years before Gandhiji launched ''Salt Satyagrah'' at Dandi in 1930.
This publication is a sincere dedication by the author, to revive the memories of Pandit Shyamaji Krishnavarma, a very real but forgotten hero of Indian Independence.
