Krishna Kumar's '1942: 'British Rule in India was Threatened When' is the title of a pivotal historical book not only considering its extensive and sophisticated presentation but also preferring its sharp and factual style of writing. Kumar's prose is enviable for its readability factor providing an unparalleled opportunity for those who are beginners in history to understand complex historical events with enthusiasm and all what they need is to savor every word. But at the same time, the amazing research and in-depth narrative of the events are the elements that make this film colloquial for history buffs, historians, and students of history. The past events of 1942 are placed into a larger historical framework by the book in which we can trace colonialism and national liberation. A brilliant stroke however by Kumar is linking the birth of the Quit India Movement to previous independence movements like the Non Cooperation movement & the Civil Disobedience movement. Here by emphasizing on the presence of continuity and revolution that has been evident in India's struggle for independence he adumbrates the value of interconnectedness of historical events and their defining hangover on the Indian history in general. Kumar's book does not only touch upon India's fight for independence but also sheds light on the wider implications of 1942. Southeast Asian countries were affected too. 1942 is the year that brought major changes for the area as the Japanese troops started to perform aggressive military operations intended to seize their reign. The loss of the British colonies included Singapore Malaya and Burma emptied into Japanese control had the major impact which caused the changes of the geopolitical map and overthrown the existing power structures. As a reader from Southeast Asia this book offers a fresh perspective on historical relationships between nearby countries that occupied during the warring period it also helps to illuminate the complexities of regional interactions which greatly impact each other during the controversial history.
