Red Salute comrade Nirmalananda
Comrade Nirmalananda, a prominant literary figure in peoples literary movement has breathed his last on 24 July 2018.
Com. Normalanand @ Muppana Malleswara Rao was born on 20 October 1935 at Anakapalli of Visakhapatnam district. He worked in the railway and during his stay at various palces he learned hindi, Bengali and Odiya. He started his literary journey by translating poetry and stories from Telugu into Hindi and vice versa. Though he used many pen names, he was known by many by the name Nirmalananda Vatsayan.
He joined Janasahiti, a revolutionary literary organization in AP, and worked as Editor of its Telugu magazine Prajasahiti for 18 year and later continued as its Honorary editor till his death. Under his editorship Prajasahit brought many special issues that inspired many writers and readers.
As an avid reader and hard worker, Normalananda pursued many a writer to contribute to Prajasahiti and encouraged many budding writers.
The Class Struggle pays revolutionary homage to comrade Niramlananda for his invaluable contribution to the peoples literary movement.
purpose, have been shelved once for all. The much tomtomed‘ cooperative federalism’ peddled by Narendra Modi turn out to be unilateral attack on the states. That the states continue to remain as glorified municipalities is a fact of life.
The Programme of the CPI( ML) categorically stated that the federal system claimed to be the essence of the Indian constitution is a myth and India is“ prison house for the various nationalities” that are striving to develop.
Another much praised aspect of the Indian democracy, the elections, has also came under attack from the ruling classes. The BJP for a long time is the advocate of presidential form of governance. Recently it coined the slogan:“ One Nation-One Election”. Holding elections as and when needed by the procedure stipulated in the Constitution and being followed all these years as‘ constitutional perversity’. The Law commission is hearing the opinions from the political parties. The Niti Ayog floated an outrageous proposal to make‘ the President head of executive’. If the dissolution of Lok Sabha cannot be avoided, then the provision could be made for the President to carry out the administration of the country, on the advice of Council of Ministers to be appointed by him till the next House is constituted. If this is accepted in principle, the state would come under governor’ s rule. And it spells doom to even the semblance of democracy.
As usual, this month the rulers would perform the ritual of Independence and project themselves as the custodians of national interests. But the plunder, oppression and suffering our people had experienced in the last seven decades make them realise that they have a lifelong struggle to wage to win a really indpendent, democratic and prosperous India. They are definitely on this path. �
