Deriving its name from the village Naxalbari in West Bengal, the Naxal movement has seen widespread revival in recent times. This book presents an insightful analysis of the movement by situating it within the contexts of Bengali society, strains of Indian communism, and the peasantry. Rabindra Ray, who was actively involved in the movement in the early 1970s, uses tools of sociological and philosophical analysis to understand what it means to be a Naxalite. His interpretation of Naxalism distinguishes between the movement’s ideological position and its actions. Comparing Naxal ideology to that of Nietzsche and the philosophical tradition of Nihilism, Ray vividly portrays the social and cultural heritage of Naxalism. In a new Afterword to the Third Edition, he reflects on the resurgence of Naxalism in India over the last decade.
