Focusing on the All-India Progressive Writers Association (AIPWA), this historical account examines the interplay between literature and politics in India and South Asia, while also considering European and American literary movements. It delves into the political processes that shaped progressive writing, highlighting the influence of theorists Leon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci. The book argues that the progressive conception of literature, art, and politics was significantly informed by these thinkers, despite the writers' limited knowledge of their theories.
