 Film Review
Movements in the area had prepared the ground for Naxalbari in Ekwari And in 1968 as the first incidents began to spark off, it was led not by students who came from outside to "enlighten" the landless – but by youth from within simmering with rage against oppression.
The role of Jagdish Mahto, Ram Naresh Ram, Rameshwar Ahir cannot be ignored as also the communist movement that was built around the convergence of educated youth both from within and outside, with workers and the agrarian poor in arms and in martyrdom.
From 1972 to 1976 alone, in Bhojpur, the diversity of those who came together in martyrdom in the struggle of the toiling people for dignity, wages and land is typical of the movement.

 Rediff On The NeT: Potential CM Patwa looking for fourth win in Bhojpur
The Congress is claiming that the voters of Bhojpur have been betrayed by veteran Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sunderlal Patwa, who is seeking a fourth term from Bhojpur, a rural constituency of Madhya Pradesh.

The Congressmen morale is high since the BJP won by a meagre margin of 4,000 votes in last year's byelection, which compares badly with the 25,000-vote margin Patwa won by in 1993.
