Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The Hoodlum Years refer to the years of terror and agony that India passed through in the early-mid 1970s and culminated in the Emergency. At the time Ashok Mitra contributed a series of sensitive essays to the Economic and Political Weekly that tellingly and powerfully portrayed the horror of those years. This volume contains a selection of these essays, written during 1972 75 and between January and April 1977. The claustrophobic season of 1972 77, the author feels, ought to be remembered every now and then; there is otherwise a danger of our judgement being distorted by the familiar problem of forgetting.

A selection from Ashok Mitra's famed Calcutta Diary in the Economic and Political Weekly these short essays chronicle the troubled times on the subcontinent from 1999 to 2003. Ashok Mitra's column in the weekly had run from the early 1970s with important gaps during which Mitra held political office and each single piece had taken up one or more of the burning issues of the day and subjected them to a remorseless and incisive dissection. Ranging from politics to sports commoners to corporations poetry to processions global to local these taut tense disturbing meditations bring out what has always been the uppermost concern in Mitra's chequered career an overriding sympathy for the underdog and a corrosive contempt for the forces poisoning the existence of man. Many of the earlier essays had been anthologized the present collecti.…

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Offering a thought provoking incisive analysis of Bengal and India Ashok Mitra's memoirs translated for the first time into English from the Bengali original Apila Chapila (Ananda 2003) brings contemporary India alive. Growing up in British India in Old East Bengal as a member of the Bengali middle class he dissects its ideals foibles prejudices and flaws. The partition of India found him and his family in the new country of East Pakistan that they were to leave like millions of other refugees to a new India where they had to re build lives. He goes on to analyse the fledgling democracy of India taking readers through the days of the early Five Year Plans with which he was involved in the 1950s. Ashok Mitra's involvement with economic policy continued in his work as Chairman of the Agricultural Prices Commission and with his appointment as Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India when Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister. Soon after the political crisis in East Pakistan turned into the war of liberation and the author provides much new insider information. Highlighting a different aspect of his life that of his association with writers and intellectuals Ashok Mitra talks of his friendship with Sachin Chaudhuri and his brothers and the founding of the Economic Weekly and its second coming as the Economic and Political Weekly. Throughout the book he also weaves in the cultural and literary history of Bengal as his literary interests have been as vital as his political ones. Mitra's reminiscences are enriched by his analysis of Marxism and Marxists in a poor country of how the alliance of parties that formed the Left Front that has been elected to power in the state of West Bengal functioned his story of his stint as the Minister of Finance and Planning in the late 1970s and 1980s and what lay behind his sudden resignation.
