About The Book:

Karagare Communist Haoyar Kahini by Sudhanshu Dasgupta is a poignant memoir detailing the author’s life as a revolutionary during India's struggle for independence. It takes readers through the incredible journey of Sudhanshu Dasgupta, who was arrested in 1929 for his involvement in the Mechhuabazar bomb case. Following his arrest, he was imprisoned in various jails, including Alipur Central Jail, Jessore Jail, Dhaka Jail, and eventually sent to the Andaman Islands, a place where political prisoners were exiled by the British.

In the face of the British Empire's attempt to break his spirit and cripple his resolve, Sudhanshu’s time in prison became a transformative period. Rather than being defeated, the prison experience allowed him to come into contact with other revolutionaries, particularly those who followed Marxist ideologies. He and many other youth became inspired by communist thought, with many of them eventually becoming key figures in the communist movement in post-independence Bengal.

This book vividly captures the experience of revolutionary youth in prison and their political awakening, making it an essential read for those interested in the history of the Indian independence struggle and the growth of communist ideologies in Bengal. Through Sudhanshu Dasgupta’s personal journey, readers gain insight into the powerful legacy of resistance and the enduring relevance of revolutionary ideals.
