ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses on the effects of the so-called integration of Left radicalism on the growth and development of Tripura communism. It terms strange theory that the all-India party was using to 'integrate' the Gana Mukti Parishad (GMP) with all-India communism. Organization was a central problem of the All-Indian party (CPI) in Tripura and until 1950 its membership was very small. The CPI leaders were rebuilding the party organization banking on the GMP. But the argument was strange: Marxism did not worship 'spontaneity'. Chakrabarty went on to state that the GMP was the most powerful mass organization in Tripura. The Tripura communists emerged as the most powerful electoral force in India's first general elections in Tripura in 1951–52. A United Front under the leadership of the communists was formed on November 15, 1951 comprising the communists, Tripura Ganatantric Sangha (GS), the GMP, the Forward Bloc, the Tripura Democratic Women's Association and other anti-Congress individuals as an anti-Congress Leftist electoral front.
