He started his career with the Royal Indian Air Force, from where he was dismissed because of his political activities in 1946.[5] He joined the Bolshevik Leninist Party of India and moved from Kolkata to Raniganj in a bid to organize trade union movement among the workers. He was detained several times for political activism between 1963 and 1965. He joined the newly formed Communist Party of India (Marxist) in the sixties.
