‘He, who cannot dream and imbue others to dream, is not a revolutionary,’ said Charu Majumdar. True to his words, he dreamt of a shackles-free India and drew thousands of youth to join the armed revolution unleashed by his party in the 1970s.
This book, the only one of its kind, is an unbiased documentation of the trailblazing journey of the fire bird who gifted the word ‘Naxalite’ to the world, something that spread like a wildfire in the deepest roots of the contemporary young minds. The man who had a fire in his heart, thus became an inspiration to a generation.
Charu Majumdar: The Dreamer Rebel is a well-researched book on the legendary rebel of the 1970s, who, besides calling for an armed revolution, taught many to dream.
This book is a part of the series - Pioneers of Modern India. Other books in the series: (a) Homi J. Bhabha, (b) Heisnam Sabitri, (c) RK Laxman (d) Jamini Roy (e) Rani Gaidinliu (f) Sarada Devi (g) Muthulakshmi Reddy.
