Left Radicalism in India

Focusing on the evolution of left politics in India, the book explores the rise, consolidation, and current decline of left radicalism. It distinguishes between the social democratic parliamentary left and the left wing extremists who advocate for violent revolution based on classical Marxist, Leninist, and Maoist ideologies. Through detailed case studies from Kerala, West Bengal, and Tripura, the author provides an in-depth analysis of the distinct characteristics and activities of these two factions within the broader context of Indian communism.
