Is the Torch Passing: Resistance and Revolution in China and India

The volume presents a collection of articles and talks by Robert Weil that attempt to record the evolving struggle for revolutionary socialism, focusing on India and China. It discusses the movements for popular resistance and participatory democracy and development that are increasing among the working classes and the oppressed strata in the two countries. It studies the genealogy and legacy of the Cultural Revolution in China and the Maoist revolution in India. There are comparative analyses between India and China that throw light on the struggles in developing countries where the deprived groups are beginning to assert themselves.
