How the 1967 uprising at Naxalbari inspired a generation of
resistance across India and the South Asian subcontinent Although
the 1967 revolutionary armed peasant uprising in Naxalbari, at the
foot of the Indian Himalayas, was brutally crushed, the insurgency
gained new life elsewhere in India. In fact, this revolt has turned
out to be the world's longest-running "people's war," and Naxalbari
has come to stand for the road to revolution in India. What has
gone into the making of this protracted Maoist resistance? Bernard
D'Mello's fascinating narrative answers this question by tracing
the circumstances that gave rise to India's "1968"decade of
revolutionary humanism and those that led to the triumph of the
"1989" era of appallingly unequal growth condoned by
Hindutva-nationalism, the Indian variant of Nazism. Will what
remain of India's continuing "1968" bring twenty-first-century "New
Democracy" to the collective agenda? Or will the ongoing regression
of "1989" lead the way to full-blown semi-fascism and
sub-imperialism? India after Naxalbari is far more than a simple
history of the ongoing Naxalite/Maoist resistance; it is a deeply
passionate and informed work that not only captures the essence of
modern Indian history but also tries to comprehend the present in
the context of that history - so that the oppressed can exercise
their power to influence its shape and outcome.
