Abstract
Born into a Calcutta Communist family, Banerjee found himself drawn to the Naxalite Movement while working as a journalist for The Statesman in the late sixties, and eventually joined its cadres in 1973, going underground. This article is a biographical reflection on Banerjee’s transforming involvement with the Naxalite Movement, as an active participant, an intimate observer and a distant onlooker, giving a glimpse into the sociological characteristics and romantic ideals of the early Maoist activists in India.
