Moni Singh

Moni Singh

Moni Singh (Bangla: মনি সিংহ) (28 June 1901, Durgapur Upazila, Netrokona – 31 December 1990, Dhaka) was the founder of the Communist Party of East Pakistan. Prior to the partition of India in August 1947, Singh was a successful workers' leader who led movements to abolish exploitative labour practices. He was imprisoned for long stretches on three occasions: 1930-37, 1967–69, and 1969-71. He was first elected CP head in 1951, when Bangladesh was part of Pakistan, and led it with one short interruption until his death. After the Sino-Soviet split, Singh took the side of the Soviets. Because of this, the party split in 1966.

His autobiography, entitled Jiban Sangram, was first published in the Bengali language in 1983. It was translated into English with the title Life is a Struggle (ISBN 81-7007-081-3) in 1988.
