520			_aThe question of a social revolu tion in India-its path, progress and achievement-has long been a hotly debated topic in radical cir cles in our country, especially among communists. There are pes simists who fear that nothing is going to happen, as there are over optimists who see revolution round the corner. In this book Mohit Sen puts the question in the proper perspective by emphasising that a great social transformation does not take place simply because some people wish it, but only when the masses are ready for it and prepared to fight for it under the leadership of a re volutionary class and its party. He also warns against putting faith in rule of thumb in such mat ters and the hunt for models. He explains that every revolution is unique in its own way depending on the history, tradition, way of life of the people and not a replica of anything that has happened else where. However he stresses that with all the varieties and differences, there are certain features that are basic to all social revolutions in the twentieth century. Drawing wide ly on the writings of the founders of Marxism-Leninism, especially Lenin, Mohit Sen has given a cogent answer to various problems connected with the question.
