"India for Indians" by Chitta Ranjan Das is a collection of political speeches written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the pressing political issues of India during the time of colonial rule, advocating for self-governance and unity among diverse Indian communities, particularly focusing on the collaboration between Hindus and Muslims. The speeches reflect the growing national consciousness and desire for democratic reforms against the backdrop of British imperialism. The opening of the work sets the stage for this fervent political discourse, featuring Das as he reads to a diverse assembly at a mass meeting in Calcutta. He passionately protests against the British policy of internment, highlighting the unjust detention of respected Indian leaders and emphasizing the need for collective action among Hindus and Muslims to combat colonial oppression. Das invokes historical references, legal principles, and emotional appeals to rally support for self-governance, articulating the common interest of all Indians regardless of religion. Through these speeches, Das emerges as a staunch advocate for national unity and change, positioning the text as a powerful call to action during a pivotal moment in Indian history.
