During the turbulent sixties, when the hatred and terror against the Communists reigned supreme, Field Marshal K.
M.
Cariappa was launching an anti-Communist propaganda in a speech at the Jadavpur University campus, where he was intent to prove the Communists as seditious.
Then Field Marshal K.
M.
Cariappa had asked "Is there a Communist in this room?" The student who could stand up bravely and proudly "Yes sir.
Here is one.
I am Sankar Gupta, I am a Communist" - a statement which later became legendary among the leftist student leaders in the years to follow.
