1 May 2008

The purpose of the booklet is to give a brief background of B. T. Ranadive’s life and underline his teachings for the Indian working class. He devoted his entire life for the cause of the working class and the toiling masses of the country. He left behind a legacy that would continue to inspire new generations to carry forward the task he left unfinished during his lifetime. As a true revolutionary B. T. Ranadive always had in mind the objective of the abolition of capitalist society and establishment of a socialist society. One of his most outstanding contributions to the Indian working class movement was that he always stood for linking the day-to-day struggles of the working class and the toiling masses with the final objective of social transformation. During his concluding speech at the foundation conference of CITU, he categorically declared, “The trade union movement can never forget that socialism and freedom from exploitation will remain words if the working class does not consciously struggle to capture power; and that the first step towards it is to remove the present bourgeois-landlord government by a genuine peoples government.”
