oct 19, 1925 - Bharatiya Commune Proclaimed

Description:

In the aftermath of the complete collapse of British control over India, it was the syndicalist movement that was the first to act. Inspired by the revolutions in Britain and France, the People's Republic of Bengal was proclaimed in Calcutta on the 19th of October 1925. However, the reality of the situation was not so simple. While the British garrisons were being withdrawn to the northwest (to what became Delhi), many other groups remained to oppose the new state.
