India- Open letter; WRITE THE NAME OF KESHO RAM IN LETTERS OF GOLD A LIVING OF SERVICE TO MANKIND

WRITE THE NAME OF KESHO RAM IN LETTERS OF GOLD A LIVING EXAMPLE OF ONE WHO RENDERED SERVICE TO MANKIND TO THE LAST DROP OF HIS BLOOD. MAY HIS SPIRIT BE REKINDLED WITH OTHER ROSES BLOOMING TO REPLACE THE POISONOUS WEEDS OF THE RULING CLASSES. SUCH COMRADES HAVE ENABLED THE FLAME OF NAXALBARI TO REKINDLE IN THE MOST CHALLENGING TIMES EVEN WITH THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST THEM.

Dear people,

Comrade Kesho Ram has given us eternal separation on 30-01-2020 due to serious heart disease. He was born on 04-04-1956 in the house of Mata Vidya and Father Vasdev. Father Vasdev was a tenant and a tenant movement worker. He was a well-known local level leader under the leadership of the Red Party. There was frequent traffic of tenant leaders in the house, and Vasdev always gave preference to party work to family responsibilities. Mother Vidya served to each and every visitor very well. She participated in tenants struggle along with the women of the village. All children born in this home became sympathetic to the rights movement. The family struggled with economic hardship but was restricted to their rightful means. All five brothers studied in hard conditions. His both sisters also studied at the local school level. Of course, all the brothers promoted the parents' revolutionary legacy, but Comrade Kesho Ram was the leader of all. Comrade Kesho Ram associated a strong connection with the revolutionary movement of the Punjab and by adjusting his personality at the values of the revolutionary values, he proved to be a true fanatic of saying and doing.

He applied what he learned from the revolutionary movement to life. In his youth, when the Punjab Students Union has a big name in Punjab and the Naujuan Sabhas were of great strength in the villages, he was inspired by the elder brother Gian Chand, who was himself active in theNaujuan Sabha. Took the flag off Which he never allowed himself to bow down to. He joined the Punjab Students’Union, Naujuan Sabha, Para-Medical Workers’ Organization, AFDR, the Rational Society, the Inqulabi kender and worked as a General in Lok Sangram Manch since 2011. He held the head of the Lok Sangram Manch, Area Rampura Phool.

Kesho Ram was a humanitarian revolutionary warrior. When he worked in the health department, he served sick villagers, TB. Patients, elders as a missionary. A Part of his salary was always spent distributing free medicines to people. During the Khalistani era when people closed their doors at sunset, Kesho Ram would attend every night for every needy, waking up with poor patients in hospitals, saving their lives by donating his blood and motivating others also. While doing this he did a commendable job in the field of blood donation. He established an organization for eye operations of needy ones’ and contributed to the re-appearance of hundreds of elders. He naturally hated against oppression, and fought against every oppression done by regimes’ officers and all type of offenders. Such struggles fought by him have a life long span. That is why he was the star of the eyes of the poor people in the village, especially the women. Everywhere he worked, he emerged as a watchman among female employees. On many occasions, he rallied against the hard-line officers. Comrade Kesho Ram was a true democratic man. The sectarianism was nowhere near him. If any organization of Punjab would go on the field of struggle then his face would be glowing. Whenever rulers oppressed the people, he engaged in a struggle against the ruling regime. He also guides and coordinates when needed. That is why the police chased him and raided his house even in the conflicts being fought by other outfits. Whether it is a Jethuke village movement, a Miser Khanna movement , a power workers outage, or police oppression on Comrade Harbhinder Jalal. On such occasions he did not bow down nor back down. One of the his most important qualities was that he did not have any personal hatred against the person he fought against. Whenever he needed his help, he stood with the same. Because of this, even his opponents became his admirers. In the Khalistani period, if an injured person sought his help, he did the same. But when the innocent people were killed, he opposed the same. In doing so, he always kept himself in line with the ongoing communist revolutionary movement for social change. This is where he was a true trade union leader, a true democratic activist, a true revolutionary democratic leader. He was a true Communist.

His death has caused a great loss to his family, our organization, the people and the entire revolutionary movement. Creating a revolutionary quality like Comrade Kesho Ram and walking in his footsteps is a true tribute to him. Let us pledge to attend a final prayer and tribute ceremony at the big gurdwara of Rampura village on Sunday 9th February, for the pledge to follow the path given to him.
