Partha Banerjee has been inducted into RSS through his father at a very young age. However, in his early youth the ideological conflict between the RSS ideology and the liberal Bengali philosophy had started to bother him. Finally he raised a number of fundamental questions to the RSS leadership - as the answers remained unsatisfactory, he decided to quit the two decade long association and subsequently started to explore the other side of the political spectrum. Nevertheless, his long quest for a sensible political ideology remained highly unsatisfied until much later in his life when he travelled to the US and met Noam Chomsky, with whom he established a long association (Partha interviewed Noam five times and regularly communicates with him via emails). Partha, a PhD in biological science from US, ended up quitting science and spent much of his later life doing various activism in the US, most prominently organizing and educating the labors in and around New York City.

In this podcast he discusses his amazingly unique political journey with Pratyay, Srinjoy and Soumik. The episode spans over two sessions recorded in two separate days. Link to Partha Banerjee's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partha_Banerjee
