Banglay Gonoandoloner Chhoy Doshok Edited by Kamal Chowdhuri [Hardcover]

The year 1947 completely transformed the trajectory of Bengali life in the backdrop of the partition of the country. With the creation of East Pakistan and West Bengal as two separate states, the Bengali community found themselves divided, facing intense socio-economic and political crises. This gave birth to a revolutionary movement that unfolded during the struggle for independence. The period from 1930 to 1950 was a tumultuous time for Bengalis. The first part of this book delves into the overall narrative and events of these two decades of movement and struggle. The second part covers various movements, ranging from the uprising against the unjust economic system, the Tebhaga movement, and the Food Movement, to the emergence of the Naxalite movement. This section spans from 1950 to 1970, providing an extensive overview. The book encompasses a collection of essays and writings from different periods and political figures, reflecting their thoughts and contributions. It includes a chronological index, scholarly discussions, and even includes documents sourced from government archives. For researchers and enthusiasts, ‘Banglay Gonoandoloner Chhoy Dashak’ is an essential comprehensive reference.
