Volunteer Activities during Freedom Struggle
If you are an enthusiast of India's epic freedom struggle, we have some exciting new contents we received through recent donations. These are primary sources, never published before. They are oral histories, rare photographs, memories, and historical documents such as posters, autographs, and jail records.
They are constantly being added to Kamat Research Database as and when we are able to identify, authenticate, and classify.
Examples:
• Biography: Vishwambhar Dayalu Tripathi
• Dipaji Rane
• Indian Policemen Hassling Indian Freedom Fighters
• March of Satyagrahis in Goa
Many unclassified documents are available privately for enthusiasts who have registered as Friends of Kamat
