The proverb goes, “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.” The untold and more heartfelt tale of the bravery and sacrifices made by unheard tribal freedom fighters for their motherland Bharat is the subject of this edited book. They are the unsung heroes of Indian history since these ‘Tribal Freedom Fighters’ were never depicted in the big narratives of the country, as a consequence, they are unsung versions of the historiography of India. This book pays recognition to the lives of these unsung ‘Adivasi Nayaks’ from the northern to southern regions of India who took the initiative and fuelled the nationalist embers of dissent and revolt in all corners of the nation at large. These tribal fighters shed their lives in defence of the motherland after sacrificing their lives for the nationalistic cause. This edited collection of 26 papers disrupts the widely held notion that revolts of tribal freedom warriors began in India after 1857. Instead, it contends that this freedom struggle of tribal arose following the establishment of the East India Company of India.
