M.N. Roy

4.9/5 (29967 ratings)

Description:Among his Indian contemporaries, Manabendra Nath Roy was without a peer; there is perhaps no comparable figure in the East. He was unique in the universality of his experience. A dozen different countries spread over three major continents provide the background of his chequered career. He occupied leading positions in the great movements of Nationalism, Communism and Humanism, continuing to grow throughout in his understanding aided and enriched by his rare intellectual gifts and vast experience. While holding positions of authority and influence and rubbing shoulders with some of the greatest figures of contemporary history, he did not hesitate in choosing the path of wilderness whenever his convictions, in the context of the situations he faced, seemed to demand the choice. He combined firmness of commitment to the basic values of freedom and truth with a remarkable openmindedness, capable of absorbing new ideas and learning from fresh experience. Indeed, his life was a great quest, a steady and purposeful march; the movement had its moments of slowing down or setbacks, but it knew no failures or defeats. It had no room whatsoever for frustration or bitterness of any kind. That his life, no less than his ideas, is his bequest to future generations is the real measure of his greatness.The memoirs cover a period of about eight years, from 1915 to 1923. Part of this material was originally published in The Radical Humanist, a weekly founded and edited by Roy; some portions appeared elsewhere also. The manuscript was originally prepared for the Press by Ellen Roy who unfortunately is not with us to see it appear in print. The tragic circumstances of her death—she was murdered at her residence in Dehra Dun—make the grief of survivors all the more poignant. I is a little comfort 'hat one of her wishes is at last being fulfilled, through the appearance of this volume which is an excellent introduction to what may be called the formative period of Roy's life and career.- G.
