As the title of this bulletin reveals, it is a source material for the history of Indian's freedom struggle. But it presents only a slice of freedom struggle history since it is related to the Civil Disobedience Movement between April to September 1930 and that too in the Maharashtra region of India. Before its publication, this material was not accessible to the scholars and historians. It reveals the details about the arrests of Indian freedom fighters and plans and operations of Bombay Police and intelligence agencies. This volume is highly useful for gauging the intensity, potential and contribution of this movement to India's independence. It reveals the uniqueness of Civil Disobedience Movement and desperation of the ruling British Administration which could neither crush this peaceful, nonviolent movement nor allow it to spread. The documents taken from state Archives and Intelligence Records fully reveal the British dilemma and the resolve of Indian masses and their indisputable leader Mahatma Gandhi. The correspondence and letters reproduced from the original records reveal precise British reportage as well Gandhiji's command over English language[edit]
