M. N. Roy was born #OTD in 1887. After arousing the suspicion of British authorities for his work in support of Indian independence, he sought refuge first in the US, and then in México, where he co-founded the first Communist Party outside of the USSR. After moving to the USSR to work with Lenin, Roy returned to India to help found the Communist Party there.
