He was born in Manuke in what was later the Moga district of Punjab, India, and was raised in Lahore where his father was a doctor. He was a founder of the Indian student movement in the 1930s and a freedom fighter who remained in jail during India's freedom movement in the 1940s.[1]
He was a professor at Delhi University and retired in 1987. Former Nepali prime minister Baburam Bhattarai said he was "one of the greatest Marxist scholars of our time."[1]
