Left hand drive

pages : 550 

“A collection of the writings of Sitaram Yechury, one of the most articulate spokesmen of the Communist movement in India, is welcome in this context. A brilliant student of economics, whose idealism led him to become an activist of the CPI(M), Sitaram Yechury has emerged as an influential thinker of the Left, a member of the Party’s politburo, and a gifted and dedicated parliamentarian. The writings collected here appeared originally as columns in The Hindustan Times to which Yechury is a regular contributor. In this respect he has carried forward a tradition initiated by E.M.S. Namboodiripad of writing regular columns in non-Party media for explicating the Party’s position to people at large.” – Prabhat Patnaik
