THE LAST GOOD COMMUNIST PASSED AWAY ON THIS DAY IN 1954.

The readers will judge why I used these words once you finish reading
this thread/post.

In 1938, the hosts at Wadia House, Bombay were taken aback to see #Roy coming to the breakfast table in white Dhoti-Kurta in true Bengali Style who preferred to wear suits shirts & trousers.
Noticing the puzzled look he said, I'M GOING TO PAY MY RESPECTS TO
#VeerSavarkar.

#ManabendranathRoy, the founder of #CommunistPartyofIndia added, I'm sure the Old Man will be pleased to see me dressed as a full fledged Indian rather than as Westernized Revolutionary.
Having said that MN Roy went to meet Veer Savarkar & BOWED TO HIS FEET.
