Hare Krishna Konar (ISO: Harē Kr̥iṣṇā Kōṅār, /ˈhɑːrə ˈkrɪʃnə ˈkɔːnɑːr/ ; 5 August 1915 – 23 July 1974) was an Indian anti-colonial revolutionary, agricultural theorist, and politician who was the chief architect of India's first and largest land reform in West Bengal.[c] He was one of the founding members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). Between the 1960s and 1970s, he became one of the principal leaders of Communist movements in India. In 1932, Konar was deported to the Cellular Jail of the Andamans for 6 years at the age of 18 for his involvement in the Begut Robbery case of the Jugantar Party; there he took part in the first hunger strike, and in 1935 he founded the Communist Consolidation[d] and led the historical second hunger strike.[1][2]
