The Chowpatty Cooking Club (Series: Songs of Freedom) - Paperback

by Lubaina Bandukwala (Author)

Bombay, 1942

With Mahatma Gandhi's call to the British to Quit India, the city has become a hotbed of revolutionary activity-student protests, secret magazines and even an underground People's Radio which broadcasts news that the British want concealed.
Sakina and her friends Zenobia and Mehul desperately want to be part of this struggle for freedom. But there is little that they are permitted to do. But at least, they are trying to do something useful, while their mothers are only running a cooking club ...

The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence.
