Contents: A few words. Introduction. 1. Castles/fourth class people of India: what about their rights to live and life? 2. Three peasants\' revolutions in contemporary India: what are the lessons? 3. Revolution, counter-revolution and re-revolution: theory and practice. Index.

"This analytical book was designed in 1980s to make a comparative study of all the three Indian peasants\' revolts or revolutionary efforts in Post-Independent India, the situation of the non-caste downtrodden people of India and discuss different theoretical aspects of revolution. Though parts of the problems of the topics were published in different international journals, yet these have been revised, rewritten and enlarged, with newer materials, improved outlooks and rationalized angles. India is a vast human territory of downtrodden people whose problems are multi-dimensional and multi-magnitudinal that attained the hereditary legacy of continuity. In India, the presents\' revolts or revolutions were projected not on the entire country basis and these evolved in isolated way that, consequently, could not end in success, because not only of infantile mistakes but also of organizational deficiencies and communication gaps."
