Description

Renowned economist, politician, and writer Ashok Mitra’s Bismriti Chapiye is much more than a memoir—it is a reflection on social injustice, class consciousness, and the moral dilemmas of modern society.

• A Personal Yet Political Narrative: While the essays in this collection appear autobiographical, they are infused with Mitra’s deep-seated concerns about inequality and privilege.
• Critique of Societal Apathy: Mitra’s words resonate with an intense disillusionment toward the educated elite who remain indifferent to the struggles of the impoverished.
• Beyond Economics & Politics: Though an acclaimed economist and policy-maker, Mitra transcends institutional boundaries, presenting a broader ideological and philosophical critique of contemporary society.
• A Voice of Resistance: At over ninety years of age, despite physical challenges, he continued to edit the magazine Aarek Rakam, embodying his own belief in defying societal norms.

This book is a powerful testament to Mitra’s lifelong commitment to Marxist ideology, social critique, and fearless intellectual inquiry. It is essential reading for those interested in politics, class struggle, and the intersection of personal experience with public consciousness.
