I was a student of BA Hons. (History) in Ramjas College, Delhi University in the year 1962-63 when one of our teachers, Dr. Bal whose full name I am not able to recollect, in one of his classes began to eulogize M.N.Roy saying that Roy was a great revolutionary and thinker and had founded the first communist party in the world outside Russia i.e. Mexican Communist Party, played a great role in spreading communist movements in various parts of the world including India as important front-ranking member of the Communist International working with Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin. He further declared that Roy was a man of Lenin's caliber and stature.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Egyptian public has witnessed in recent decades an active, at times heated, debate between present and former left-wing activists and a variety of Egyptian intellectuals over the role played by Jews in the communist movements. The polemic discourse particularly focused on their contribution to the failure of the various communist organizations to unite, expand and take root within the Egyptian lower classes in the first half of the twentieth century. This article scrutinizes and analyses, chronologically, the ongoing discourse as it came to be expressed in a number of important ideological venues. This lively polemic discourse sheds new light on the centrality of Jews in the development of organized communism during the monarchy period. It also adds an important dimension to the historiographic debate regarding the Jews of Egypt, generally, and their attitude towards Zionism and the State of Israel, particularly.
