Communist Movement in India

By 1932, revolutionary movements against British rule had largely ceased. Marxist and communist ideas began spreading in India, but Bhagat Singh's movement was nationalist, not communist. MN Roy played a key role in the communist movement, setting up the Communist Party of India in Tashkent. The communists shifted strategy to infiltrate Congress and revolutionary parties. British policies allowed Marxist ideas to spread in jails, converting many nationalists to communists. This strategy proved beneficial during WWII when the Soviet Union allied with the British.
