Comrade Jagadish Ram

Comrade Jagadish Ram passed away on 30 August in Purnea, Bihar. He was 70. He joined Communist Party during the turbulent decade of 70s when Bihar’s poor began to organize themselves against the fierce feudal oppression. Comrade Jagadish Ram stood firmly with them and remain undeterred in face of immense sacrifices he had to make. Comrade Jagadish’s resolve strengthened further in continuing the struggle after the martyrdom of his brother comrade Jhari Ram. He witnessed many ups and downs during the early years of the CPIML movement in the Purnea region; in particular the martyrdom of his comrade in arms Brijesh Mohan Thakur. These experiences and losses steeled him to dedicate his entire life to the struggles of the poor and downtrodden for an egalitarian society. His memories will always inspire us in the struggle to fulfill his dreams.

Red Salute Comrade Jagadish Ram!
