BHARATHA COMMUNIST UDYAMA CHARITRA — Tholi Dasa (1920 - 1933). Rendering into Telugu by Telikapalli Ravi, Gudipudi Vijaya Rao and S. Venkata Rao from the English original, Prajasakthi Book House, 1-1-187/1/2, Chikkadapalli, Hyderabad-500020. Rs. 90.
THIS FIRST book of a planned five-volume comprehensive history of the Communist movement in India, being chronicled by a group of its eminent senior leaders, traces the beginnings of the Left movement in India.
The volume records the selfless revolutionary acts of those pioneers like Abdal Haleem, Abdul Mazid, M.P.B.T. Acharya, Gangadhar Adhikari, Muzfar Ahmed, Amir Hyderkhan, Barkatulla, Bhagat Singh, Beerendranath Chatopadhyaya, M.P. Singaravelu Chettiyar, Sripad Amrit Dange, Bhupendranath Dutta among others who sowed the seeds of revolution.
The Communist movement in India has had a chequered history, but has an indelible impact on Indian polity and social thought, infusing equalitarian outlook into society at large. The volume under notice covers the early phase(1920-1933) of the Left movement, i.e. the birth of the Communist Party, expansion of its activities, the Kanpur Communist Meet (1925); formation of Workers and Peasants Parties (1928); Sixth Comintern (1928); emerging people’s upsurge (early 1930s); the Meerut Conspiracy Case (1929-33) and towards a national centre for the movement.
The objective approach of the authors in compiling this story makes it an important chapter in the history of modern India. A word about the Telugu rendering. The translators have done a commendable job with devotion.
