Ruhiton Kurmi, a landless agricultural laborer from Rangali village near Naxalbari in North Bengal, dreamt of a new life—one where the blind would see, the mute would speak, barren women would bear children, and the oppressed would rise. He staked everything to build a liberated region, to eliminate class enemies, and to surround cities with villages in revolutionary struggle. But fate had other plans. Where did things go wrong? Where did the storm gather, and where did the downpour drench the vibrant dreams of revolution?
