Denying National Roots – Early Communism and India

Description

This study examines the early evolution of the attitude of Communism towards nationalism in general and towards Indian nationalism in particular. It also looks at how the ideas of communism were received early but were refracted through the typical Indian genius, into the overarching compass of spirituality.

It then moves on to examine the confrontation of world communism with Indian nationalism, the attempts of Comintern to yoke Indian nationalists to their war chariot, and how Indian nationalism escaped its bear-hug.
