My Revolutionary Tributes to Comrade Madhu
Comrade Madhu was born into a traditional family in Nizam State ( Telangana ) and evolved into a warrior on the side of laboring and exploited masses . He got himself conscientised and detemined to conscientize the oppressed masses of people . In the process he dedicated himself to the peoples revolutionary movement . His boyhood was one unbearable want and struggle which he as overcome with grit and smiles . By participating in the activities of student and youth inspirited from district communist party leadership , he realised that the exploitative social system was the root cause of poverty . It did not take much time for him from amateured to a matured activist . He resolved to dedicate himself to the task of eradicating the social ills and exploitation .
By becoming a member of Hyderabad city unit of CPI ( M ) and through the study of Marxist literature Com . Madhu could form a clear vision of the problems of revolutionary movement and the social movements . He carried out crucial responsibilities at the call of the Party . Staying in the backdrop he concentrated his efforts on the literary and cultural movement . As the leader of the team which brought out the magazine JEEVA NAADI , he doubled his efforts in this task . His tireless efforts in the roles of secretary of Hyderabad unit of the Party ( 1973-76 ), as member of the State Executive Committee ( 1974 ), as member of the Central Committee ( 1976 ) and as State Secretary of the Party , while having been close to D . V ., are distinguishing and memorable .
While the undesirable happenings that occurred in the party in 1980 were saddening , the way Com . Madhu stood up to them in the true spirit of communism is the proof of his firm commitment . The happenings throw a challenge to the Party . Comrades Anand , Madhu and Viswam stood up to the challenge . They differed with DV on the stand to be adopted with regard to the theoretical problems of international communist movement and other ideological issues . The way Viswam and Madhu immersed themselves after separation in conducting party conferences at various levels of organisation rallying the party to adopt correct theoretical line and strengthening it organisationally , is worth mentioning .
The revolutionary movement found a most worthy comrade in Com . Madhu . He was inseparable from it . Our later experiences in coordinating our efforts in entering into a dialogue and merger with other parties of different theoretical positions on certain matters with a hope to gain revolutionary friends at national level are worthy of remembrance . In this journey to make the party stronger , the struggles were waged not only with others , but also within our Party . In the course of preparing a document of the review of the conference of 1989 of UCCRI ( ML ), we could gain great confidence and steadiness in our revolutionary stand . With further changes and additions it could be further strengthened and improved . In this Com . Madhu took it as a challenge and had put in a lot of labour to fulfill the task . That review document stands in testimony of the comradery of Madhu and me .
Each comrade will have certain unique ability and potential . In pooling them into a group ( Dalam ) and coordinating all their potentials is a special endeavour . Com . Madhu displayed extraordinary talent in this endeavour keeping himself at the center of the task . His endeavour in this serves as a guiding principle for the upcoming leaders among the cadre .
Com . Madhu has been discharging his duties and responsibilities despite being afflicted with ill health for the last two years . He had undergone cardiac surgery in his youth . That also had some impact on his lungs and would fall fatigue while climbing to high altitudes . In February 2019 his medical friends diagnosed the problem as ILD ( Interstitial Lung Disease ). Because of this the g
