This online exhibition features a rarely studied and documented topic on the Socialist Movements in India, during the British rule and subsequent to India's freedom. All the pictures are from the personal collection of V.N. O'key, a close associate of many of the important Socialist leaders of India, and a prominent artist-photographer.
