Summary, etc. This book presents an analytical history of nearly six decades of interaction between two highly significant political movements in the country-Socialism and Communism-written by one who has shaped the political ideology and the events for several decades.<br/>Socialists and Communists in the country had common concerns-organizing workers, peasants, landless; fighting landlordism, capitalism and authoritarianism. Sometimes they fought together but most of the time they fought separately. Why? None other than Madhu Limaye could have written with such authority on this hitherto unresearched subject. His thesis in this work is that at this fateful juncture the Socialists and Communists, no matter to which party they belong, should review the past in a genuinely self-critical and non-dogmatic spirit and chart out future course of action. He believes that the time is running out for the forces of Socialism in India. The Communists must wake up to the need of getting rid of ideological shibboleths, and the Socialists quickly liberate themselves from the coils of power politics. He warns that unless both come together and take drastic steps towards the creation of a new movement and a new broadbased party of socialist democracy or democratic socialism, Socialism would be wholly marginalised.<br/>Madhu Limaye has combined in this study a historian's penchant for narrative and painstaking detail, and a political analyst's ability to link the ongoing events at the macro level with personal experiences. He brings to light facts hitherto little known.
