B.T.Ranadive, death anniversary

download (11)
6th April 2016 is the 26th death anniversary of Comrade B.T.Ranadive, the doyen of Indian trade Union movement. Under his leadership, the working class fought many battles.A true revolutionary in all respects, he was respected by the entire trade unions, irrespective of affiliations.

He was closely connected with the P and T Trade union movement. More than forty years till his death in 1990, he guided and gave advice to the Central government employees movement.

Personally, I had the great fortune of getting his advice and guidance in many of the struggles that the P and T workers had organised.

We pay respectful homage to the memory of Com. B.T.Ranadive! Red Salute Comrade!

B.T.Ranadive

 

BtRanadiveCom.B.T.Ranadive, militant leader of the working class passed away 25 years back on this day, 06th April 1990. He was PB Member of CPI(M) till his death and was the General Secretary of the undivided CPI during 1948- 50. He was also the founder President of CITU.

Though it is 25 years since his death, his contribution to the working class and the progressive forces through out India is well remembered even now. He had attended many of the Conferences of the P&T Unions and I had been fortunate enough to meet and discuss with him the union issues several times. His article have been published in big three volumes by the CITU.

On the occasion of his death anniversary, my Red Salute to Com. BTR!

B.T.Ranadive, CITU

 

 

BtRanadiveToday is the 110th birthday anniversary of one of the top militant and revolutionary leader of the working class, Com.B.T.Ranadive. He was born on 19th December 1904.

Balchadra Trimbak Ranadive was a bright student and passed MA with distinction. He joined the Communist Party  in 1928 and also became a leader of the All India trade Union Congress at Bombay. He actively participated  in the Bombay Girni Kamgar union and Railways Unions. He supported the Navy mutiny and organised solidarity strike in support of the Naval mutiny.

He was elected as President of the CITU and continued till his death. He was also elected to the Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). A militant leader, he guided many struggles of the working class, including government employees. He was married to Com. Vimal Ranadive, herself a staunch trade union leader. Com. Ahilya Rangnekar, the leader of the heroic struggle of the Adivasis and a CPI(M) leader, is the sister of Com. BTR. All of them have passed away. Com. BTR passed away on 6th April 1990.

I had been fortunate to be in contact with Com. BTR for a long time connected with the P and T trade union activities. He had attended the Conferences of P and T unions at  All India level as also in the Kerala Circle Conferences. His guidance and advice in the trade union activities were inspiring.

On his 110th birth anniversary, my respectful homage to Com. B.T.Ranadive. We pledge to continue to tread the path shown by him.

Red Salute to Com. BTR !
