This is a story of Muzaffar Ahmad. In Calcutta through Muzaffar Ahmad's transitions, the little investigated history of the left in Bengal prior to Meerut is unravelled, and is related to the convergences between individual radicalization and the emergences of a new political space in a colonial city. The connected histories of communism , port-cities Bengal Muslims, workers, intellectuals, youth, migration, colonial intelligence, early left organization, radical prose, local/regional activism and internationalist currents are also probed in this context.
