Shankar Guha Niyogir Sange Koyek Bachar

Shankar Guha Niyogi introduced a completely different dimension to the struggle for workers’ wages among the working class. Not mere confrontation, but preparing the groundwork for an alternative society was the core theme of his movement. That is why his ideas stirred not only factories or mines but also the inner world of workers’ lives; this alternative stream of struggle by working people attracted many, including the writer Punyabrata Gun. The oft-quoted idea that one can truly recognize oneself in the mirror of the enemy proved true when Shankar Guha Niyogi was murdered while unarmed and asleep.
