The book has been edited by Sumantra Bose, a professor of international and comparative politics at the London School of Economics and son of Sisir Kumar Bose.

Sisir Kumar Bose, Netaji’s nephew and son of Sarat Chandra Bose, had in the 1980s authored the Bengali version of the memoir: Basu Bari.

The book, which used to be serially published in Anandamela, a children’s magazine published by the ABP Group, focuses on the period from the mid-1920s to the 1940s, when the freedom movement was at its peak.

Sisir Kumar Bose, who died in 2000, had written a version of the memoir in English, said Harvard professor Sugata Bose, the elder son of Sisir Kumar Bose.

Chakraborty recounted how as editor of Anandamela he had convinced Sisir Kumar Bose to pen Basu Bari.
