The volume also examines the wide reach and scope of his journals in English Hindi and Bengali which published the likes of Rabindranath Tagore Subhash Bose Abanindranath Tagore Nandalal Bose Ananda Coomaraswamy the scientist J. C. Bose and Zhu Deh the co-founder of the Chinese Red Army. He also published India in Bondage by the American Unitarian minister J. T. Sunderland which resulted in his arrest.
