The '''Marxist League''' was a political grouping in [[Bombay]], [[India]]. The League was founded by the middle of 1933 as an open front of the illegal [[Communist Party of India]] amongst middle class elements and intellectuals. The League substituted previous associations functioning amongst intellectuals, the 'Marxist Students Club' (organised in 1930 by [[S.V. Deshpande]]) and the 'Friends of the Soviet Union' (organised in May 1932). G.V. Haria played a leading role in organising the League. The League ran study classes and arranged public meetings in the city during 1933-1934. Attendees at its meetings included leading communists such as [[Benjamin Francis Bradley|B.F. Bradley]], [[S.V. Ghate]], [[S.S. Mirajkar]] and [[K.N. Joglekar]].<ref>Roy Subodh, Communism in India – Unpublished Documents 1925-1934. [[Calcutta]]: National Book Agency, 1998. p. 234-235</ref><br />

The draft programme of the Marxist League read: "…It is the rule of the Marxist League to spread the interest in [[Marxism]], especially amongst middle class intellectuals, and create a band of trained Marxist intellectuals who will take up the ideological fight against [[imperialism|imperialist]] and National Reformists and at the same time work in closest cooperation with the revolutionary movement of the masses of workers and peasants. …",<ref>Roy Subodh, Communism in India – Unpublished Documents 1925-1934. [[Calcutta]]: National Book Agency, 1998. p. 238</ref> "…It therefore appeals to all thinking intellectuals, who being dissatisfied with the tactics of the [[Indian National Congress]], wish to participate in a genuine [[anti-imperialism|anti-Imperialist]] movement of the masses for complete independence of India from [[imperialism]], for the establishment of a Workers’ and Peasants’ Government in India, to join the League and actively participate in its activities and to broaden and deepen the same."<ref>Roy Subodh, Communism in India – Unpublished Documents 1925-1934.
