BHARGAVA: I can state the reasons for not moving it. promoting social justice". I think this should be enough, if you-are so MR. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN: Are you minded because anyone should support this withdrawing the Bill? because what I have stated in the Statement of SHRI M. P.

  • Talking with Telengana
    RANEN SEN Indian Communist History Revisited Sankar Ray September 26 this year was nostalgic for the veterans among communists including those who used to keep the party card literally close to the chest. They are an endangered species these days. Dr Ranen Sen, one of the three members of the first central committee (1933) of undivided Communist Party of India (CPI) was born on this day in 1909. Other two were Abdul Halim and Somnath Lahiri. Halim Saheb was dropped in 1943 while Lahirida was dropped in 1951. He was suspended for having been one of the main functionaries as a polit bureau member during the disastrous period of ‘Left adventurism” under B T Ranadive who was expelled in 1951 and remained so until 1955. However, Ranenda, who became a polit bureau member in 1952 (remained there until 1956) was never dropped from the CC (later national council, when CC was rechristened as NC) until the party split in 1964. Although politically and ideologically close to the ‘democratic front’(DF)-liners, who later decided to split the CPI and form a new party at the Tenali Congress (coincidentally on the 51st birthday of Jyoti Basu, 8 July 1964), Ranenda remained with the CPI although ‘national front’(NF)-liners used to dominate the party after the split. But even NF-liners revered him as a party-builder. Defending his decision to stay back in CPI, Ranenda said : “Bhupesh Gupta, Sohan Singh Josh (originally belonged to the Ghadar Party-SR) subscribed to the DF line but never endorsed splitting activities and Trotskyite line of Mao and CP of China.

    International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Humanities (IJIRAH) Impact Factor: 5.225, ISSN (Online): 2456 - 3145 (www.dvpublication.com) Volume 3, Issue 1, 2018 HARKISHAN SINGH SURJEET AS A COMMUNIST Simranjeet Singh Desh Bhagat University, State Highway, Amloh Road, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab Cite This Article: Simranjeet Singh, “Harkishan Singh Surjeet as a Communist”, International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Arts and Humanities, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page Number 121-125, 2018. Harkishan Singh Surjeet was among the few Communist leaders to have left an indelible imprint on the national polity, the others being P.C. Joshi, Ajoy Ghosh, S.A. Dange, Bhupesh Gupta, E.M.S. Namboodiripad. Others like Jyoti Basu, A.K. Gopalan, P. Sundarayya, P. Ramamurti, C. Rajeswara Rao, Bhowani Sen, C. Achutha Menon had doubtless contributed to the Communist Party‟s development in different regions of the country but they didn‟t contribute towards shaping national political events. And it can be stated without any exaggeration that apart from EMS, Surjeet was the only CPM leader to have a genuine national perspective and even here Surjeet was able to comprehend, far more than EMS or any other CPM leader, the complexities of the Hindi heartland. Surjeet‟s contribution to the national polity was not commensurate with his party‟s influence or sweep – the individual Surjeet‟s stature and authority in national affairs far exceeded the CPM‟s standing on the national plane. Bhagat Singh established a young revolutionary group known as the „Naujawan Bharat Sabha‟ in March 1926. Comrade Ramkishan was the President of this Naujawan Bharat Sabha and Bhagat Singh was its Secretary.

    RAJYA SABHA _______ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATE _______ (Proceedings other than Questions and Answers) _______ Thursday, August 10, 2017/ Shravana 19, 1939 (Saka) _______ FAREWELL TO THE HON'BLE CHAIRMAN THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE (SHRI ARUN JAITLEY): Ten years is indeed, a very long association. Before becoming the Chairperson of this House as the Vice-President of India, you had experience in various fields of public life. You had been a very distinguished diplomat; you had chaired important commissions, committees and universities but dealing with political fraternity was a different experience altogether. The Chairperson's job is very challenging in this House for the reason that this House, now has a changed character. Things start with a lot of acrimonious debate but nothing remains indefinitely held up. The Chair does play a role, which eventually does force the consensus. Chairman’s job is a mixed job because you take the good with the not so good. Your tenure might have seen disturbances but also very high quality of debates on several occasions. I am sure we will all relish those debates and you will carry with you memories of those debates. Your tenure had many interesting anecdotes. I am sure, you retire from this House with great memories. We all recollect the sage advice that you kept giving to us and through us, to the country from time to time. We will always have memories of you as the Chair and how you lent dignity to the quality ___________________________________________________ This Synopsis is not an authoritative record of the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha.
