Wake Up India: A Plea For Social Reform

By Annie Besant

Book Overview

""Wake Up India: A Plea For Social Reform"" is a book written by Annie Besant, a British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist, and Indian independence leader. The book was originally published in 1911 and is considered a classic in Indian literature. The book is a passionate plea for social reform in India, addressing issues such as child marriage, the caste system, women's rights, education, and poverty. Besant argues that India needs to wake up from its slumber and take action to address these issues in order to progress and become a modern, democratic society. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style, and Besant draws on her own experiences in India to make her arguments. ""Wake Up India"" is a powerful call to action and remains relevant today, over a century after it was first published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
