Hooked On BooksEp-35 Usha Thakkar27th August, 1942 was the date when a young Indian Woman turned the tide and launched an underground radio in support of the freedom struggle. She was Usha Mehta. 'This is the Congress Radio calling on 42.34 metres from somewhere in India,' Usha Mehta's voice rang defiant and clear to the entire country on a ghost transmitter. These words would come to reverberate across the struggle for Indian independence. It was August 1942. The Quit India Movement had just been launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress Committee by Mahatma Gandhi. Inspired by his rallying cry, the twenty-two-year-old student...
