Over the decades, he has written essays, satire and political commentary for newspapers and journals including The Tribune, The Indian Express, The Pioneer and the Kolkata-based weekly Frontier, founded by Samar Sen. His writing seeks to combine literary expression with a materialist understanding of society and history. He is the author of fifteen books spanning satire, political reflection and literary commentary, including Chandigarh Urban Poor: A Street Diary (Poems 2015–2025), Mother, and The Mad, Mad, Mad West: A Satire on Uncle Sam’s War on Russia.

Kant’s intellectual outlook is shaped by the traditions of scientific socialism and the broader history of revolutionary struggle. He draws inspiration from Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin, and remains committed to the historical mission of the working class. He writes from the standpoint of the working class and vehemently opposes US imperialism and Israeli Zionism as expressions of monopoly capital and systems of exploitation and domination. His sympathies extend to the long line of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles—from Toussaint Louverture and John Brown to Ernesto “Che” Guevara and Bhagat Singh—and to African leaders such as Patrice Lumumba and Thomas Sankara, whose struggles reflect the global fight against oppression.

The history of popular resistance, from medieval peasant uprisings to modern working-class movements, occupies an important place in his writing and thought. In literature and criticism, he is influenced by the Russian democratic thinker Vissarion Belinsky and the broader tradition of Russian cultural and revolutionary writing. His outlook is grounded in the experiences of the oppressed—workers, peasants, and marginalized communities across India and the world—whose struggles continue to inform his moral and intellectual commitments.

Alongside his writing, Kant has spent decades building a personal collection of Marxist and progressive literature, including rare works on revolutionary history, Soviet culture and the international labour movement. His engagement with books and ideas reflects a lifelong effort to understand and articulate the forces shaping society.
