Publisher's Synopsis
In the book, the author unfolds the dialectical relation between the concept of social transformation and revolutionary praxis and once again with persuasive argument reaffirms the importance of peoples struggles in realising just political governance. He also foresees the possibility of popular movements and Maoists in both countries joining forces to fight their common enemy and achieving triumph. The book is a clear, direct account of the revolutionary tradition in China and India, placing the Cultural Revolution and Naxalbari in the line of the Paris Commune and October. The book attempts to help cut through the maze of postcolonial and 'end of history' ideologies. The book is an interesting read for activists, students and researchers of social movements and critical studies in social science.
