1 Bhoodan was originally a movement for voluntary redistribution of land given up by rich landowners, but has since become a political movement for a “democratic society without political parties.”.

2 As Professor Heimann, Eduard has pointed out in his article, “Marxism and Under developed Countries” (Social Research XIX, No. 3, September 1952, pp. 322–45)Google Scholar, acceptance of the idea of “salvation,” both national and personal, which had hitherto been alien to the East, constituted the main impact of Marx on the colonial world. Such salvation was seen to lie in the establishment of a rational, classless, co-operative society following the liberation from colonialism. This was to be achieved under the guidance of an intellectual elite which could understand the objective historical conditions that were prerequisite to winning the revolution and establishing the new society.

The antagonistic contradictions refer to China's relations with the West, and the non-antagonistic contradictions to the peaceful transition from the bourgeois to the socialist stage under conditions created by the peoples' liberation movement.
