"Anandmath" written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay is set in the backdrop of the late 18th century Bengal Famine of 1770 and depicts the struggles and sacrifices of a group of freedom fighters called "Sannyasis" who come together to fight against the oppressive rule of the British East India Company.The story revolves around the character of Mahendra, a young Brahmin who becomes a part of the Sannyasi rebellion. The novel delves into themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the quest for freedom, highlighting the spirit of nationalism and the call for independence from colonial rule. "Anandmath" also gave birth to the song "Vande Mataram," which became the rallying cry for India's independence movement. Listen to this audiobook only on Audio Pitara.
