Chakrabarty continued the revolutionary struggle, becoming active in [[Communist Consolidation]]. Furthermore, through the process of building a political study circles and revolutionary university in the Cellular Jail in the lives of political prisoners, Kalipada matured ideologically from revolutionary terrorism with the main body of revolutionaries to international communist ideological revolutionism of the working class. He participated in two long historical hunger strikes in the Cellular Jail and later another 36-day hunger strike.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sharma |first=I.
