ABSTRACT
Yet with all the agrarian unrest and peasant militancy marking the state, the age would not have been the age of Naxalite revolt were not the city of Calcutta to rise in revolt at the same time. Reports, films, plays, poems, songs, reportages, and books have been composed on the city of that time. Who does not know of Mrinal Sen’s Kolkata Ekattor (Calcutta ’71)? However, there are still some areas left unexplored in the map of urban insurgency that we may investigate. Our political knowledge may have still few things to learn from that time.
