520			_aA nationalist-anarchist in the beginning, then a Marxian Socialist, and finally a Radical Humanist, M.N. Roy stirred three continents of the world-America, Europe and Asia-during the first half of the present century. Here is the peerless example of a man who could show himself first as an advocate of the philosophy of Communism and then as a prophet of the philosophy of Radical Humanism, revealing an authentic criticism of Marxian Socialism. All this happened as a result of his confrontation with the facts of social and political reality during the course of his involvement in the militant phase of the Indian freedom movement, the civil war in Mexico, the revolution and counter revolution in China, the struggle for power in the Soviet Union and, finally, his ambition to radicalise the politics of his country. Roy, who started his political career as a revolutionary aiming at the overthrow of the alien British rule with the help of 'promised German arms', ended as a prophet of cultural renaissance' desiring awakening of the people as a condition precedent to the successful working of a political and economic democracy in the country. The has elaborately discussed the political career and socio political ideas of this mystery man' with the help of rare and authentic source material. This work will serve the long-felt requirement of students and research scholars engaged in the study of contemporary Indian history and political thought.
