- Description: "In 1971 when the party was directly killing people [class enemies], slaughtering them, I would shudder... on hearing the party's name. ... But after seeing the books, after listening to those books from China, listening to stories, after having sat for discussions with them, I was no longer afraid (laughs). Then... I thought in my heart of hearts that they are really friends of the poor. I must follow." The Naxalite movement was going to liberate them. It was a fight against oppression. Some would dress up as boys to sneak into the party meetings and listen to the speeches. She was one of many who left home to join the party. This movement was different. Women could be leaders, and take part in battle. Weddings were simple affairs. With a hand shake and a salute. Aroja had been a fighter, but when the party disbanded, they had nowhere to turn to. They had burnt their bridges. Jessore, Bangladesh
