There is the new hotel, disapproved of by elders, which lures him with the aroma of sambar with onions. There are visits to the library to read the newspaper, and once in a while, a new movie at the Rajaram Electric Theatre. More disagreeably, there are fortnightly visits from his uncle to lay down the law. When Gandhiji announces the Quit India movement, Tanjore is torn apart by protests. The train station-the lifeline of the town-is vandalized. Mysterious leaflets are circulated, containing news that newspapers do not publish. And inspired by the idea of a free India and his own dreams of being an engineer, Thambi must find the courage to do what he believes is right-even when it endangers all he holds dear. 541 $d 20230306. 650 1 $a Freedom $v Fiction. 650 $a Children $v Fiction. 651 $a India $x History $v Fiction. 651 $a India $x Fiction. 830 $a Songs of Freedom. 941 $a 1 952 $l VPPC384 $d 20230719010548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92A203D625F911EEBD366A4A2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
