Indian politician (1935–2019)
Arun Kumar Roy (15 June 1935 – 21 July 2019)[2] was an Indian politician, who served both as a Member of Parliament and a Member of Legislative Assembly. He was born in a small village in Rajshahi district of the then East Bengal, during the British Raj to anti-British activist parents. Roy, a former member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), entered politics after being dismissed from his job as chemical engineer in a company for supporting a workers' strike in 1966–1967.
Later in his political career, Roy founded the Marxist Co-ordination Committee, a political party based in the coal mining region of Dhanbad, Jharkhand.[3]
