Communists worked independently, along with revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and his comrades   and also in the  main-stream national movement for independence under the banner of freedom movement platform the Indian National Congress. Communists helped organise students as All India Students Federation (AISF), Farmers & Agriculture labours in their respective independent unions so as to raise their demands and for their participation in the freedom struggle.
