Essays on Contemporary India (English) (Paperback)

The volume concludes with a set of essays on socialism and the Left in Indian politics that are enlivened by a critical outlook that made the author into a dissenting voice within the Indian Left long before the collapse of socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union made dissent popular and turned it into a necessity.
