But freedom brings responsibilities and burdens and we have to face them in the spirit of a free and disciplined people. All qualities counted, however, there is a big problem with the perspective. This book comes off as portraying the functioning and benevolent British Raj that sadly and unfortunately had to go due to extenuating circumstances. Child agency simply means the power of child characters to influence and change their environment. Both Tom and Hatty are unhappy in the situations in which they find themselves. Tom is bored and frustrated at being quarantined for measles with his childless aunt and uncle in a 'poky flat' while Hatty is oppressed by life as a Victorian orphan in the house of a monstrously uncaring relative. However, through intense longing and the power of imagination, both the children manage to conjure up an escape from their uncongenial circumstances.

I am sure that it has nothing to do with that Bengal is where most of the protest movements started from. Because anything good that comes out of India, well it has to be influenced by the higher race, even in ancient times.

We are not saying this is the definitive story of partition and independence – it’s the one drawn from our collections. We want people to learn more about the way in which India and Pakistan gained their freedom – and the colonial state from which they achieved it. Roots, Kimberly (February 2021).
