Chinese diplomats, a Bengali play and the Naxalbari mystery: New book revisits questions over Beijing's role

Chinese diplomats attended a politically charged play in Calcutta shortly before the Naxalbari uprising in 1967. The uprising led to questions regarding China's involvement in India's Maoist movement. Indian officials expressed concerns over Chinese diplomatic activities and their potential influence on unrest. The book 'Rebel Bastar' examines the deeper history of resistance in Bastar beyond the Maoist insurgency.
