As the title suggests, this volume taken from the Bombay state archives provides valuable information about the freedom movement activities in India during the nineteenth century in the state of Maharashtra. Since this narration is taken from government records, contemporary newspaper articles and court proceedings, it is reliable and authentic. Although it records various movements in Maharashtra region only, even then it reflects the awakening of the Indian people against the British Colonial rule. It is a chronicle of the times and informs the reader about the mood of the nation at that time. The language used is official and factual[edit]
