About the Book:

Fyasibad: Atit, Bartaman (Bharater Prasango Soho) addresses the persistent presence of fascism in the world, even after its defeat in World War II. While fascist powers were defeated, the ideology of fascism still lingers and is resurging in contemporary global politics. Sukomal Sen, a leading figure in India's trade union and communist movements, explores the roots, evolution, and consequences of fascism, its anti-Marxist and anti-union nature, and its catastrophic impact on societies.

The book provides a historical overview of fascism’s rise, its social foundation, and its ultimate downfall at the hands of the Soviet Union during World War II. It further examines the theory of fascism, its stance on issues like women's rights, and its resurgence in the modern context—particularly focusing on the dangers of neo-fascism in India today. The book contextualizes the relevance of these discussions in light of India's historical anti-fascist struggle, highlighting the current dangers posed by the rise of neo-fascist elements in the country.

The final chapter reflects on lessons from Germany's history and calls for vigilance and action in the present political climate, emphasizing the need for resistance against emerging fascist forces. This work is not just a critical analysis of past events but also a call to action, making it an essential tool for understanding the current political landscape and defending democratic values against authoritarian threats.
