Description
xThe authors of this book claim that in the whole history of German mercantile and diplomatic-political connection with India from 1854 to 1939 and beyond, no other German, official or private, showed so much interest, dedication and goodwill to understand India's social, economic and political situation and engage himself on her behalf internationally as did Franz Josef Furtw ngler (1894-1965). And yet he is largely unknown in India. No one after reading this book can have a different opinion. Which other German can claim to have talked or chatted with Gandhi, Tagore, Subhas Chandra Bose, the Maharaja of Baroda and a number of Indian trade union officials and proletarian? He was also the single German who propagated and agitated for the Indian freedom struggle outside India.

By Elisabeth Barooah
xAfter her school graduation from Gera (Germany), Elisabeth Barooah (1937-2010) took her diploma in translation in English and Russian languages from the University of Heidelberg. Until her retirement Elisabeth was engaged in the monitoring service of 'Deutsche Welle' in Cologne for several years. A lover of classical Western music and modern art, Elisabeth was a voracious reader. Besides novels (Thomas Mann was one of her favourite authors), she was keenly interested in history and biographies.
