Abstract
The Marxist-based social theory argues that individuals and groups (social classes)
within society have differing amounts of material and non-material resources (the wealthy vs. the
poor) and that the more powerful groups use their power in order to exploit the groups with less
powerful groups. In this regard, extreme level of inequality in all forms and in all fields such as
economy, politics, religion, education, social etc. exist in the traditional Indian society since long
and because of these, continuous conflicts, unhappiness between powerless poor/downtrodden
people and powerful elites are reported. The prime aim of this article is to know the recent-past
conflicts, abductions, killings, torturing, violation of basic human rights etc. that took place in
West Bengal; and its effects on the development of local the people; and the reasons and interest
behind those conflicts.
