The book is an English translation of the original Marathi work on Anant Kanhere authored by Prof. Dr. M. B. Kulkarni. Speaking on the occasion, the Governor endorsed the view that the assassination of Nashik Collector A. M. T. Jackson in 1909 was "not an act of hatred, but an act of justice." He observed that many heroes of India's freedom struggle have remained unsung and insufficiently recognised. "Not knowing our own heroes is not merely an injustice to them; it is an injustice to society itself," he remarked. The Governor said that alongside the movement of Satyagraha, there existed a powerful stream of revolutionary nationalism whose contributions have not received the recognition they deserve. He stressed the need to document the lives and sacrifices of these lesser-known revolutionaries through a series of monographs, enabling younger generations to understand the freedom movement in its totality. The Governor called for translating books on revolutionaries into Marathi, Hindi and English. He noted that translation serves as a bridge between languages and regions, ensuring that the stories of these national heroes inspire people across the country and transcend linguistic barriers. Dr. Girish Aphale, President of the Bharatiya Vichar Sadhana Sanstha, Jayesh Kshemkalyani, translator Chinmay Khedekar, Ravindra Sanghavi and other invitees were present.
