VT Rajasekhar, whom we called VTR, was one of a kind of editor--inimitable, fierce, deeply ideological. My parents subscribed to Dalit Voice in the 2000s, and reading VTR's take on everything that happened around us was a revelation. Tamil Nadu's politics has always been deeply radical at its core--I was shaped by Periyar, shaped by the Tigers & the Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle, shaped by the militancy of the Panthers--but there was something that "Dalit Voice" did. He showed us that an English magazine could hold these thoughts. Even at the danger of sounding absolutely vitriolic, every single edit that he wrote was an unceasing scream against the horror of caste. I have never read anyone else who has been as unscathing in his attack on Brahminism.

Normal human beings cannot pay the price if they mounted such a challenge. The compulsions of a life in politics, meant that such a figure could not emerge from those who face elections or felt the necessity to build careers. VTR did not care for such pretensions, neither did he bother about the merciless facade of identity politics which sought time and time again to question his positionality before accepting his commitment and integrity.

I met him once, in my late teens/ or early 20s at Ashoka Hotel in Egmore. Today, I am left with lasting regret because I never told him that he was singular, that he gave us courage by just existing---and even if none of us ever sharpened our swords as much as he did--we still feel energised by the spirit he exhibited. If caste is a constant state of war--VTR was the angriest soldier.

He lived a full life, he leaves behind the legacy of his magazine.

Im stealing someone else's words, but really, they do not make them like him anymore.
