Today is the 14th death anniversary of the great Communist ideologue, statesman, politician, writer  and twice Chief Minister of Kerala, Com. EMS Namboodiripad. While as Chief Minister of Kerala he refused to implement the Essential Service Maintenance Act against the Central Government Employees in the 1968 strike despite threat of dismissal of the state government by the Central Government, led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.   He was the General Secretary of the CPI(M) for a long period. His writings have been published in 100 big volumes by the CPI(M) Kerala State Committee. Due to his extra-ordinary memory and thorough knowledge in almost all sectors of knowledge, he is also secretly called as the ‘Human Computer’. He donated all his wealth and earnings/royalties from his books to the party and spent a frugal life with the allowance given to him by the party. He had close connection with the BSNLEU and inaugurated its All India Conference at Thiruvananthapuram in 1994.

I pay my revolutionary homage to this great Communist!
