Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume contains Mookerjee's autobiographical writings and the English translation of his "Bengali Diary". The diary is narrative in nature and chronicles the history of Bengal from 1937 to 1946, the most crucial phase in Mookerjee's political career. It gives a fairly detailed account of his experience as an MP in Bengal from December 1941 to November 1942. It was during this period that he emerged as spokesman of the Hindu cause and was later elected President of the Hindu Mahasaba in 1944. The Bengali diary contains recollections which are more personal and reflective, including accounts of family life.
