This collection of articles examines the connections between two transformative historical movements: the Russian Revolution and India's fight for independence from British colonial rule. Rather than traditional academic analyses, these articles capture the voice of the Communist leadership in India as they navigated the complex task of applying Marxist principles to India's unique colonial context. The book is divided into three parts and pertains to:

  • Key concepts and figures, providing the reader insights into how Soviet revolutionary ideals were adapted, transformed, and implemented within India's freedom movement.
  • Theoretical foundations through the independence struggle and into the post-colonial era of Soviet-Indian relations
  • Reflections on the global order following the Soviet Union's dissolution.
  • Historians, political scientists, and general readers to provide nuanced understanding of how revolutionary ideas travel across borders, adapt to local conditions, shaping liberation movements.
  • Our understanding of 20th century anti-colonial struggles and the global impact of the Russian Revolution.

The book is aimed for students, researchers, policymakers, historians, journalists and anyone interested in socio-political movements shaping a globalised world.

This title has been co-published with Aakar Books. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print edition in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives and Bhutan.
