Piyush Dasgupta (Bengali: পীযূষ দাশগুপ্ত, 30 October 1922 – 8 August 2002) was an Indian academician, author, a political activist, Marxist theoretician and a life-long communist. He was a member of the Communist Party of India and remained integral to the left movement in Bengal for four decades. In 1949 in Presidency Jail, Kolkata, Dasgupta led a fifty-six-day-long hunger strike for the rights of political prisoners . In the early 1960s, when Communist Party of India (Marxist) was banned, Dasgupta was enlisted in the underground leadership along with two stalwarts of the party . A professor of economics and political science, Dasgupta was instrumental in the cause of Marxist discourse in Bengal. He was part of the editorial team of People's Democracy (newspaper), Deshhitaishee, the head of the National Book Agency and the author of multiple books and articles. One of Dasgupta’s legacies is the complete translation of ‘Das Kapital’ to Bengali . It was possibly a first in any Indian language and was accomplished at the behest of Muzaffar Ahmad, co-founder of the Communist Party of India. (en) |
