Abstract
The politics in West Bengal has always had an ideological orientation to it. The nagging issue has been the Naxalbari agitation which flared up and spread its tentacles to ensnare West Bengal's revolutionary politics. The agitation which emerged from the frustration of the bengali ‘bhadralok’ youth out to destroy elitism opened the floodgates of state repression with violence and counter-violence. The article vividly describes the uncertain times in the political map of West Bengal, the human rights violations against the backdrop of the Emergency period in India and how violence has become structural to threaten democratic values and structures in West Bengal.
