Bombay, 1942
With Mahatma Gandhi’s call to the British to Quit India, the city has become a hotbed of revolutionary activity-student protests, secret magazines and even an underground People’s Radio which broadcasts news that the British want concealed.
Sakina and her friends Zenobia and Mehul desperately want to be part of this struggle for freedom. But there is little that they are permitted to do. But at least, they are trying to do something useful, while their mothers are only running a cooking club …
The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence.
The series complements school textbooks about the independence movement. As the stories are told from a child’s point of view, these stories bring the facts of the independence movement to vivid life in settings all over the country—and inspire each reader to engage with the idea of India.

- Description: लकीर कहीं होती है...जिसे पेंसिल या कलम से खींचकर हम बुलाते हैं। मिटाते हैं तो चली जाती है लकीर कहाँ रहती है? उसे कहाँ ढूँढ़ें? चलो, उस गाँव चलते हैं... जहाँ मिटाने पर लकीर लौट जाती है... A delightfully long story with a mix of magic and reality. Bolu speaks when he walks. When not walking, he becomes quiet. If someone tells him, Be Quiet', Bolu will first stop talking and then he will stop walking. If someone tells him, "Stop". He will stop walking, then he will stop talking. He is like a Patrangi that talks only while flying. She is quiet when perched. She must get doubly tired when speaking and flying. So, she rests doubly...by sitting and quieting down. Vinod ji constructs a comprehensive world. He constructs his own language. When you read him, you will feel as if you are listening for the first time. As it is said in this manner for the first time. Illustrator Taposhi Ghoshal fills the magical reality with magic.
