Samuel Stokes made India his home and participated in the freedom struggle.
He was the only American to be imprisoned for sedition; the British CID even maintained a special file on him.
Stokes also bought apples to Himachal Pradesh and transformed the lives of the state's farmers.
As India celebrates its 70th Independence Day next week, Asha Sharma, Samuel Stokes' grand-daughter, tells Rediff.com's Archana Masih about her extraordinary grandfather and wonders why he is hardly remembered today.

"An American in Gandhi's India, The Biography of Satyanad Stokes" by Asha Sharma.
It's an excellent book for Indian History buffs.
