A letter to Shri Charu Chandra Ganguly (1920)

Historical Context: This is a part of the letter Subhas wrote to his friend Charu Chandra Ganguly in India when the former was a student in Cambridge preparing to take the ICS examination as well as the Tripos, more or less, simultaneously. The letter deals with the Soviet Revolution of 1917.

In this letter Subhas explains the historical and social evolution which has led to the success of the proletarian revolution in the former empire of the Czars.

This letter is noteworthy because Subhas here interprets the Soviet Revolution in terms of the predictions made by Swami Vivekananda - that power in the next phase would inevitably go to the labouring classes. In the Indian context this could be described as a transfer of power to Shudras.
