Laxmi Panda – The Story of Netaji’s Youngest Spy
A tightly written account of a preteen girl, Laxmi, who eventually joins the Indian National Army (INA) of Netaji Bose in Burma. The book is based on the life of Laxmi Panda, a hitherto unknown figure of Odiya origin. Laxmi gets involved in daring espionage and a challenging escape from Burma into India. While this book is a historical witness to the times where a different side of India’s story of independence is told — one fought from foreign soil — it also reads well as a piece of excellent storytelling.
