THE death of Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury on September 12 dealt a heavy blow to the people of India and the world communist movement.
A hugely respected figure across most of India’s heavily populated political spectrum, he led millions of people in the struggle against communalism, exploitation, discrimination and poverty. He defended his country’s unity, sovereignty and ethnic and religious diversity.
And he did so with erudition, serenity, a dash of passion and a profound commitment to the principles of Marxism-Leninism.
