Rooted in participant observation, it focuses on the ideologies and self-understanding of the movements themselves. The central themes of this book are the origin of movements in the socio-economic contradictions of post-independence India; their effect on political developments, in particular the disintegration of Congress hegemony; their relation to "traditional Marxist" theory and Communist practice; and their groping toward a synthesis of theory and practice that constitutes a new social vision distinct from traditional Marxism.  2Social ProcessesaPurposefully induced change9153898  2ddccBK  c230238d230238  00102ddc40708MAJMCaSACPGbSACPGd2024-03-12eBiblios Book Pointg3762.00l0o303.4840954 OMVRpPG024704r2024-03-12 00:00:00v4703.00w2024-03-12yBK
