*Crusader for Democratic Socialism, Clean Politics and People’s Movements,
Rabi Ray ji*


*Will continue to inspire us amidst communal and corrupt politics*


The demise of Shri. Rabi Ray ji, the octogenarian and a socialist leader,
not only of Orissa but the Independent India is a sad news in this critical
phase faced by all of us. As a great socialist thinker, he has contributed
towards imbibing socialist vision and values into our political life. As a
speaker of Loksabha he was the one who stood for honesty, integrity,
against corruption and communalism, and anti-defection law. He stood by
each and every people’s movement that fought for right to land, water,
forest, minerals and against displacement to destruction. He supported the
struggles as a born struggler who faced the wrath of the State in his
younger days and believed in people’s politics throughout his life.


He was a lifelong supporter of Narmada Bachao Andolan and National Alliance
of People’s Movements, and founded Lokshakti Abhiyaan and Lohia Academy. He
was a consistent promoter of political legacy of freedom movement and took
that forward into present movements aspiring for mass based democratic
socialist vision. A Lohiaist with an updated reflective analysis and
strategies Rabi Ray has had an impact on our social political life that can
never be wiped off.

We will continue to be inspired by the message of his life as well as his
works and writings.


We salute Saraswatiji Ray, his wife a renowned academician with a social
commitment who had a great contribution to the life and service of Rabi Ray
till the last moments. We, the people and activists from Narmada Valley and
our Saathis from NAPM express heartfelt condolences on his demise and vow
to take forward his socialist vision through our struggles.
