The book describes the history of the development of the Naxalite movement, from its origins in the split of the communist movement in India to the death of Charu Mazundar- the founder of the Naxalite movement-in 1972. The central theoretical concept of Naxalite discourse--semi-feudalism, semi-colonialism--is analysed in great detail.
