Overview
The history of Left politics in India is deeply intertwined with the nation’s freedom struggle and the shaping of its political landscape. For decades, shades of red dominated India’s ideological spectrum, with Leftism evolving alongside the country’s cultural and social fabric. Encompassing a diverse range of forces—from moderate socialists to revolutionary communists—the Indian Left has played a complex and dynamic role in shaping national and regional politics, particularly in states like West Bengal and Kerala.
However, in recent years, its influence has waned, struggling to adapt to changing electoral dynamics and regain lost ground. This book explores an ideology now under threat—and, some argue, on the brink of extinction in India. It weaves a rich historical narrative, situating Left politics within global movements, tracing its journey in India, and examining possibilities for its revival in the future.
