In Gangster State, Sourjya Bhowmick tells the story of the decline of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in West Bengal. As a political journalist, Bhowmick offers a compelling and factual portrayal of the party's fall from power after thirty-four years of dominance. With a professional and objective tone, Bhowmick delves into the corruption, violence, and shifting political landscape that led to the party's ultimate defeat in the 2011 Legislative Assembly elections. As the state of West Bengal prepares for the 2021 elections, the question remains: can the CPI(M) survive against its formidable opponents, the Trinamool Congress and the rising BJP, or will it remain in permanent obscurity?
