Indrajit Gupta Politician

Indrajit Gupta (16 March 1919 – 20 February 2001) was a Communist leader who became India's Union Home Minister in the United Front government from 1996 to 1998. That was a dramatic reversal of roles, as the Ministry of Home Affairs had, since Indian independence in 1947, banned the Communist Party thrice, with many of its members, including Gupta, being sent to prison or pushed underground for long stretches.
