The documents in this volume voice the CPI side of the story of their stance on the Second World War and the Quit India movement in the background of the rising demand for national self-determination in the subcontinent.
The CPI has had to face the charge of being traitors and Soviet agents during World War II. But rightist rhetoric and fake nationalism apart, the CPI leadership had a full-fledged theory and practice for its unconditional support to the imperialist war efforts.
The Introduction throws light on the International Communist Movement’s role in influencing the change in line of the Communist Parties from “imperialist war” to “people’s war” and its disastrous consequences in many countries including India.
