Karl Marx's articles in the New York Daily Tribune constitute a
separate genre among his works, being originally published in
English and based on events in various countries in the world.
There is no doubt that the work Marx undertook for his Tribune
articles not only influenced his later theoretical work (one major
result being his incorporation of colonialism as a factor in the
genesis and expansion of capitalism), but also gave him an
opportunity to apply the general principles of his method of
historical materialism to the study of complex circumstances
prevalent in different parts of the world. The perception of
pre-colonial and colonial India that he put forth in the Tribune is
a classic product of such application. The sheer boldness of Marx's
explanation of India's pre-colonial 'non-history'; the remarkable
insight into the nature of colonial rule which made it so different
from all previous conquests of the country; the lucidity of the
exposition of the dialectics of colonial impact; the passionate
sympathy for the suffering of the Indians, and, at the same time,
the utterly dispassionate account of the historical course that
opened up before the country, entirely independent of the will and
consciousness of the colonial rulers themselves; all these combine
to make the Tribune set of articles a real classic on Indian
history. Iqbal Husain has established the text of Marx's articles
from the original files of the newspaper in which they appeared. He
has also collected the extracts relating to India from the
Marx-Engels correspondence during the period of the articles.
Prabhat Patnaik has written a special Appreciation of what Marx's
articles on India add to our understanding of his ideas and
approach.
