"The bourgeois nationalism of every oppressed nation has a general democratic content which is directed against oppression, and it is this content that we support unconditionally," says V.I. Lenin. The communist ideology had also developed during the political nationalism in India after the First World War. The leftists aimed at securing independence from the shackles of slavery of the British people. The upsurge of leftist movement in India got momentum from contemporary events and happenings in China, Russia. One of the leading personality was M.N. Roy who went to China on invitation of Lenin. The labour class all over India joined hands and their revolutionary activities opened yet another front for the Britishers to fight with. The volume contains faithful account of origin, development and revolutionary activities of the leftists in India after the outbreak of First World War in fifty main chapters and headings. The left communism also hastened the course of Indian independence. A very useful study of Indian independence through left revolutionary nationalism.
