	About the Book : Naxalbari Before and After : Reminiscences and Appraisal In Naxalbari, a previously unknown village in north Bengal, an armed peasant uprising began the rehearsal for the Indian revolution. At its founding rally in Calcutta on the May Day of 1969, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) referred to the Chinese party's oracle about the coming world revolution and took it as a "historic directive" to fulfil its task in India. Killings of "class enemies" such as policemen, landlords and cadre of the "revisionist" Communist Party of India (Marxist) and other collaborators of the bourgeoisie were the order of the day in Calcutta and the villages of West Bengal. The story of the movement’s failure has been told and retold by its leaders, sympathizers and critics. Yet, Ghosh’s account has a freshness that is born of genuine intellectual honesty.
