Easy to comprehend & amazing music

The script is tight, the narration is articulate and the background score sets the mood beautifully. A must listen to anyone who wants to understand India's independence movement in a concise manner. Highly recommend.

Excellent articulation of the history of Independence

Being a 10 years old British Indian in London, I have learnt a lot by simply listening to this audio book. Ayush narration was excellent and made my listening very interesting. I definitely recommend my age group to listen to this audio book and learn the history of Indian independence in a quick & easy way. My dad also told me that this audio book has got great summary for anyone to learn the history of Indian independence.

Gem of an audiobook. Simply brilliant!

This was such a great find. Who knew that this little gem of Indian history existed in audio form? Absolutely loved it!! It is so hard to find a history audio book that can hold your attention span from beginning to end, yet the two voices manage to do exactly that. The script is crisp, clear and concise and the narration is excellent. This perfectly formed audio book delves into the details of Indian history and gives a well rounded understanding of it in just over an hour. It was certainly an hour well spent for me! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend.

Eloquent and Concise

The young authors and narrators voices and narration style complemented each other’s perfectly. A very refreshing brief but factually accurate retelling of important historical events. The story format is brilliant!
