The Congress Radio Calling: Underground Broadcasts During the Quit India Movement by Neel Thakkar

In Egypt, in Iran, and in Tunisia, we've heard a lot about the so-called Twitter and Facebook revolutions. But what about the radio revolution? Working from archives in New Delhi and London, Neel Thakkar resurrects the forgotten story of the Congress Radio -- the secret, underground radio station which, during the Quit India movement of 1942, helped keep the Indian nationalist movement alive during some of its darkest days. This project was funded by a Braden Grant from Stanford Storytelling Project.
