N2  - "Freedom Movement in Sambalpur" is the first comprehensive study of a region which played a distinct role in the national perspective. In fact, Sambalpur is the first place where the Non- cooperation Movement began even before it was found in Bengal-the very citadel of National Movement. Further, this is the place which kept up the spirit of Indian war of Independence of 1857 as late as 1864. It was Surendra Sai, the undaunted freedom fighter of the region, who organised the tribal people and fought against the British relentlessly in a period when Nationalism was not even heard. He was a pioneer in leading the nationalist movement of Sambalpur though the term. "nationalism" came into vogue afterwards.

This book, apart from highlighting the struggle against the British by Surendra Sai, deals with the political consciousness and social transformation that arose out of it. Not only serious students of history but the general readers will also immensely benefit from the hair raising account of the freedom movement in Sambalpur
