The life I live and the ideals I value were shaped by the long era of Manmohan Singh, in conversation with and sometimes intense opposition to his own leadership. His death feels personal. His family is in my thoughts.
It is truly unfathomable how this kid would come from a country with no chess culture and not only become World Champion, but inspire generations of Indian kids to push chess forward. The legend, @vishy64theking! Huge congratulations to India for winning the @ChessOlympiad!
Lal Salaam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!
With the passing away of Comrade Sitaram Yechury, India has lost a bridge that connected revolutionary vision to parliamentary politics, political theory to political practice, and the agenda of national politics to the last person. An architect of the theory and practice of ‘popular front’, he was a vital link that helped bring together all the democratic and secular forces in a collective struggle against the onslaught on our constitutional republic. An iconic student leader, an accomplished parliamentarian, a great orator and a true friend to many across the political divide, Comrade Yechury’s political acumen and humane qualities will be missed not just by the Left but by all those who stand for the idea of India.
A life-long Marxist and a ‘whole-timer’ of the communist movement, Comrade Yechury assumed the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at a critical moment for the party as well as the country. Steering clear of dogmatism and sectarianism, he guided the party and the entire Left to play a historic role in resisting communalism, authoritarianism and crony capitalism. A lifelong passionate advocate of the working classes, peasantry, dalits, adivasis and all the downtrodden people, Comrade Yechury was a friend to all peoples movements and popular protests. His decision to donate his body for medical research and teaching symbolised the social commitment that he upheld all his life. In connecting multiple regions, languages and communities, his life journey was an embodiment of “Bharat Jodo”.
Lal Salam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!
Deeply saddened to hear that my long time dear friend @SitaramYechury is no longer with us. An efficient statesman, a wonderful human being and a truly understanding friend. I will miss him dearly.
Farewell, Comrade Sitaram Yechury. His passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the Communist movement and people’s struggles. I cherish the moments we shared and his unmatched ideological clarity, strategic brilliance, and dedication to the revolutionary cause. Amid rising inequality and threats to secular and constitutional ideals, his legacy will inspire us to keep fighting for a just India.
