Kharagpur IIT was the most Maoist/extreme left of all IITs. Even Jyoti Basu wanted to shut it down. I read once somewhere that back in seventies, they had Mao, Zhou, and Enver Hoja portraits hanging in their halls.
The whole Kharagpur area was a Maoist hotbed, and I believe still is to lesser extend to this day.
