    Ahallmark of Sobho Gianchandani’s student days at Rabindranath Tagore’s institute, Shantiniketan, was the celebration of independence day on January 26, 1940. In 1928 the Congress had approved the resolution for independence day. It was a real challenge since Tagore had forbidden the celebration of independence day for five years. So Sobho’s fellow students tasked him with convincing the Principal, who went to Tagore with the request. Tagore was upset at the proposition, but gave in. It should be remembered that Tagore was wary of the colonial police authorities, who shadowed activities at Shantiniketan, and even suspected him of being a Japanese agent.

    TRIBUTE

    Sobho Gianchandani, one of Pakistan’s last leaders from its first generation of Marxists, passed away in Larkana (in Pakistan’s Sindh province) four months ago on December 8, 2014. He was cremated in his native village near Larkana on December 9, 2014.

    Gianchandani was a member of the Communist Party of Pakistan (CPP) and stayed active after it was banned in the 1950s.

    With his death an era has come to an end in the sense that the generation of Leftist politicians who organised peasants and industrial workers in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s has passed into history.

    According to analysts, Gianchandani’s work in this field was of phenomenal significance in ensuring the victory of the overtly socialist Pakistan People’s Party in 1970.
