“In this recently published book, Captain Davar's essays and features, which he'd been writing over the years for the various publications, stress on the work of the freedom fighters and actual builders of our nation. This book could be of great significance, not just for students and researchers but also for us all, the citizens of this country. After all, the Davar's essays are laced with facts and factors to the political build-ups and also to the leaders of the years passed by. Leaving you to introspect on with these lines of Dadabhai Naoroji, from Captain Davar's essay on him, tucked in this book: ""Let us always remember that we are all children of our Mother coun-try. Indeed, I have never worked in any other spirit than that I am an Indian, and owe duty to my country and all my countrymen.” — Humra Quraishi, India
