Did Gandhi try his best to save Bhagat Singh from the gallows? Or was Bhagat
Singh just another pawn in the complex and intricate web of imperial power politics?
The aim of the study is to understand and explain why Mahatma Gandhi, the
most influential political leader of his time in India, could not save Bhagat Singh,
when he was negotiating a settlement of political questions with the Viceroy Lord
Irwin during February-March 1931. Using a wide range of historical materials,
VN Datta examines with sensitivity and critical discernment, the tragic episode of
Bhagat Singh’s death sentence from a new perspective by analysing it against the
background of the political climate of the times, the role of Irwin and Gandhi, the
pressure of public opinion, and the working of the British Imperial system.
