Left Unity through Academic Eyes

THE publication of the speeches and papers of the K Damodaran Memorial Seminar, brought together within the cavers of this book, could not have been more timely. Although the seminar was held more than a year ago (the editor fails to mention the date and venue of the seminar) at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, in memory of the well-known Marxist intellectual K Damodaran, who died in 1976, the question of unity among Leftists discussed at the seminar is back in the forefront today in the context of the present political situation at the Centre.
