Vol. 7 : Will to Power
In this volume Lohia’s writings of early years of post-independence India are included. This is the period which was called era of tide and tension (Ufan Aur Tod-Tanav Yug) of the Socialist Movement. When the socialists broke away from the Congress Party in 1948, they were full of enthusiasm, confidence and energy. But after the dismal performance in the first general election, a gloom spread over the party due to which one section inclined towards cooperation with Congress Party and the other for building a strong opposition. This tension ultimately resulted in clash of ideas and split in the Party which is an important chapter of the history of the socialist movement in India. Contents
