Communism and nationalism in India

"Haithcox, John Patrick"

Communism and nationalism in India - Princeton 1971 0 - 389 p.

Focusing on the career of M. N. Roy, the founder of the Communist Party of India, Professor Haithcox traces the development of communism and nationalism in India from the Second Comintern Congress in 1920 to the defeat of the left wing of the Indian National Congress in 1939. In the process he provides new interpretations of the Roy-Lenin debate on colonial policy at the Second Comintern Congress, Boy's role in the development of the Indian communist movement, Roy's activities in China,
and the circumstances surrounding his expulsion from the international communist movement. The author explores at some length
such topics as the role of the Royists and communists in the development of the Indian trade union movement, the decolonization controversy at the Sixth Comintern Congress, and Roy's efforts after his expulsion to challenge Stalin's policies in India.
