* Einzige Ausgabe. Sehr selten! Soumendranath Tagore (October, 1910?September 22, 1974), son of Sudhindranath Tagore and grandson of Dwijendranath Tagore, was a great orator and international communist leader. He was a name to reckon with in the outstanding cultural arena in the 1960s and 1970s. He was associated with the communist movement from his younger days and got popular Indian communist personality next to M. N. Roy in the communist world. In 1920 he joined into the 'Nikhil Bharat Chatra Sammelan' in Ahmedabad and befriended with poet Kazi Nazrul Islam and Muzaffar Ahmed. He was the first translator of The Communist Manifesto in bengali which was published in Langal magazine edited by Kaji Najrul. This type of left wing activities were against the tradition of tagore family so his father sent him Europe in 1927 but there he met international communist leaders and represented to the 6th International Communist Congress in Moscow. Due to the continious revolutionary works, British and German government imprisoned him. After returning in India he was arrested again and imprisoned for almost eight years. In 1937 Tagore formed a party named Revolutionary Communist Party of India (RCPI). But the party was devided afterwards. Soumendranath Tagore was a regular writer of Kallol group.
