Product Overview
“Naxalbari exploded many a myth; the upheaval was such that nothing remained the same after Naxalbari,” wrote Samar Sen, a statement whose prophetic force still resonates, as a section of the toiling masses continues to draw hope from the undying spirit of the Naxalbari movement, while the state responds through administrative, legal, and military measures to contain popular discontent; this volume—the first in a series—brings together select documents of the movement along with thought-provoking debates, and includes seventeen foundational writings from the pioneers of its first phase, featuring articles by Charu Mazumder, Saroj Dutta, Suniti Kumar Ghosh, and Sushital Roychowdhury, making it an essential reference for general readers, activists, scholars, and policy-makers seeking to understand the movement and its inherent dynamics.
