Little Nationalism Turned Chauvinist-A Comment

Little Nationalism Turned Chauvinist A Comment Sanjib Kumar Baruah AMALENDU GUHA's 'Little Nationalism Turned Chauvinist' (EPW, Special Number, October 1980) is a welcome contribution towards an understanding of an issue which continues to elude a solution and on which left opinion in the country remains far from unanimous. Guha is a pioneer social and economic historian of medieval and modern Assam, No student of Assam can avoid a debt to his writings. His article on the Assam movement raises some important questions on how Marxists and progressives should approach the nationality question in India in general and the Assam issue in particular.
