Synopsis This invaluable set of three volumes contains the lives and speeches of thirty six eminent Indians who have played outstanding roles in the task of nation building in India and have contributed substantially towards the formation of national ideals. These great patriots whose utterances and sacrifices have largely nourished Indian nationalism and have thereby determined the temper of an epoch and who have helped to make India what it is today and what she hopes to become in the near and distant future, have a claim upon the grateful memory of posterity which can never be passed over. These noble sons of India who occupy a towering place in the national edifice never die, their spirit endures with an immortality co-extensive with the work which was the supreme passion of their lives. The memories of these lifes are perpetual inspiration to the race to bring into fruition the great tasks which they had left unfinished. Few indeed must be those who cannot feel purified, elevated and enlarged by the contemplation of the life and career of each illustrious son of India who adorns the pages of these volumes.
