description: This book is about the Communist-inspired cultural activism in Bengal that had strong national and international links, and responded to the critical social and political climate of the late colonial and early- Independence years. One of the main objectives of this activism was to give political direction to the middle-class and help them reach out to the labouring other . The ultimate aim was to establish a cultural counter-hegemony in society by preparing people for a big revolution."
