Acharya Narendra Deva (1889-1956) was one of the leading theorists of the Congress Socialist Party in India. His democratic socialism renounced violent means as a matter of principle, and embraced the satyagraha as a revolutionary tactic.
Deva was first drawn to nationalism around 1915 under the influence of B G Tilak and Aurobindo Ghosh. As a teacher he became interested in Marxism and Buddhism. He was also active in the Hindi language movement. He was a key leader of Congress Socialist Party from its founding in 1934, and was imprisoned several times during the freedom struggle. He was at various times a member of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly, and after 1948 served as vice-chancellor of Lucknow University. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was during his stay at Allahabad that Narendra Deva came under the spell of Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal, Aurobindo Ghosh and other leaders of the Extremist Party in the Congress. He was a regular and assiduous reader of papers like the Bande Mataram and the Arya, of which he maintained regular files. He was also a voracious reader of all sorts of book of Indian history and current politics. It was about this time, too, that he came to know Sachindra Nath Sanyal and through him several other revolutionaries for whom he felt great sympathy and admiration. He was also keenly interested in the growth and development of Hindi. Patriots > Social and Religious Reformers > Narendra Deva, ( Acharya ) (1889-1956)
