The CPI(M) is observing the Birth Centenary of Comrade Dasaratha Deb, former Chief Minister of Tripura, four times MP and  veteran Communist Leader, whose entire life was a big struggle for the people of Tripura and the tribals specially. The militant struggle of the people of Tripura against the king and his overthrow is history. When he was  elected to the Parliament for the first time in 1952 (the first general elections), he was facing arrest and was underground. It was only on the intervention of the Speaker of the Parliament, that the arrest warrant was withdrawn. He fought for the unity of the tribals and the non-tribals in Tripura and became the Chief Minister. He expired on 14th October 1998. Dasaratha Deb was born in 1916.

Remembering Comrade Dasaratha Deb is an inspiration for any Communist. His life and struggles require deep study and recording for the future generations.
