While fondly recalling his childhood, student days,  fascination for the Communist movement and  gradual departure from that party, Mohit Sen leads you through the history and politics of contemporary India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe desalinization drive, the Chinese aggression of 1962, the split of the Communist Party in 1969, liberation of Bangladesh, the Emergency – one passes many a milestone of Indian history through this absorbing narrative. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is necessary to try and understand why the Communist Movement succeeded, as it is to analyze why in the end it did not win. In India, the Communist Movement advanced, but did not triumph. It passed through serious setbacks, but was not defeated. Sen’s support to the Emergency, his continuing association with the Congress leadership as well as his distinct political insight provide a fresh perspective to Indian politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough his experience and reading, Mohit Sen endeavors to work out the theory and practice of those he calls the new thinking communists. This biography, says Sen, is a part of this continuing effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Early Years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Up in Calcutta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Cambridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn China\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Years in the CPI Headquarters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chinese Attack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTalking with Pandit Nehru\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Split and the CPI's New Line\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCPI and the Prague Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransition and Turmoil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst Years in Ajoy Bhawan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBangladesh and the Emergency\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Emergency and After\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeetings with Indira Gandhi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndira Gandhi, Tirupati and Gujarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRajiv Gandhi's Endeavour\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Year 1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Last Decade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanaja Dies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReflections\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Mohit Sen \/ Rupa \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153694814576,"sku":"11025","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/11025.jpg?v=1793912733","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/a-traveler-and-the-road-the-journey-of-an-indian-communist","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
