India offers a unique opportunity for a fascinating trip to her democratic roots – to maidans that still echo with fiery speeches, to jails that throb with the courage of those those who were imprisoned in them, to roads trod on by thousands of weary feet moving towards their lofty goal.

This clip features some freedom fighters and a few places that came to the limelight during the Independence struggle. The three most prominent personalities featured are Gandhi, known the world over for the non-violent way he led the opposition to the British, Tagore, the first Asian to win the Nobel Laureate, and Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister.
