Sociology

Hare Krishna Konar, also known as H. K. Konar, was an Indian Marxist revolutionary, agricultural theorist, peasant leader and politician. He was one of the founding members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and was the chief architect of India's first and largest agrarian reform, carried out in West Bengal. Between the 1960s and the 1970s he became one of the principal leaders of Communist movements in India. In 1932, at the age of eighteen, he was deported to the Cellular Jail in the Andamans for six years for his involvement in the Begut Robbery case of the Jugantar Party; there he took part in the first hunger strike, and in 1935 he founded the Communist Consolidation and led a second hunger strike.
