In the long-drawn political struggle for complete independence from the colonial rule the role of E.M.S. Namboodiripad is unique in the annals of our history. He is a dedicated true patriot who offered his services to the nation at a fairly young age. He suffered in jails along with millions of satyagrah is and thus showed his remarkable sense of discipline, dedication and patriotic fervor. He was a Gandhian but later on i.e. became a Marxist. As Chief Minister of Kerala he carried on several development schemes for the socio-economic development of his people. He is a prolific writer. This work would be useful for teachers, students and research scholars in India and abroad.
