   We are only a couple of days away from the 70th anniversary date of one of the most glorious day of the working class movement in India --- the strike of 29th July 1946. On this day, the working class of Bengal and Assam observed 'Hartaal' and 'Strike' in support of the ongoing strike of P&T Workers from 11th July.  

  3,50,000 workers and labourers were assembled in 'Maidaan' area of Kolkata on 29th July 1946. Salil Chowdhury wrote and sang the famous movement-ballad --- 'Dheu Uthchhe Kara Tutchhe...', Poet Sukanta Bhattacharya wrote --- 'Bidroho Charidike Bidroho Aaj...', Poet Subhas Mukhpadhyay wrote the poem 'Maidaan Chalo'. Thousands of workers formed rallies from different parts of the state to reach the meeting at 'Maidaan'.  Please click the link http://aipeup3wb.blogspot.in/2015_07_01_archive.html for a more detailed account of incidents.
