Hari Ram Meena opens a forgotten chapter of Indian history – a movement culminating into an occasion of supreme sacrifice by Adivasi's in Rajasthan’s Banswara area. Six years before the Jallianwala Bagh incident at Amritsar, Mangarh hills in Rajputana witnessed the death of several hundred tribals who stood up in protest against oppression of the Raj. They were surrounded by the forces of the British and native rulers. The Adivasi's, under the leadership of spiritual guru and reformer Govind Bhagat, fought valiantly and died as martyrs. Sadly, the heart-breaking story has mostly remained unknown outside Rajasthan. It is one story that needs to be told and retold to generations of Indians. The author’s painstaking research and his understanding of local history and culture result in the detailed reconstruction of a tragic, yet glorious, saga that should remain permanently etched on the Indian mind.

A decorated police officer, an award winning writer, a champion of the tribal cause, an educator – Hari Ram Meena (b.1952) is a multi-faceted personality. Born in a Rajasthan village, tribal culture lies at the heart of all his creative works. A post graduate from Rajasthan University, Meena joined the police service in 1979 and retired as the Inspector General of Police in 2012. So far, he has published eight books, including two collections of poems, two travelogues, a novel and a book on tribal discourse. He has also edited a compilation of tribal poems. His literary works have won him several awards, including Rajasthan Sahitya Academy’s highest honour, Meena Award and KK Birla Foundation’s Bihari Puraskar for the present novel Dhuni Tape Teer. Translator Atul Cowshish was a correspondent of The Statesman, Delhi from 1963-1993. Presently he is a freelance journalist based in New Delhi.
