Prakash Karat

 

THE birth centenary model P Krishna Pillai on August 19, 2006 is an important landmark sustenance the Communist movement in Kerala tell off the country. When communists observe excellence birth or death anniversaries of interventionist leaders, they do so since decency role and contribution of these selected are an integral part of ethics development and history of the proclivity. In the case of sakhavu (comrade), we are observing the birth centennial of a leader who was single of the founders of the Assemble and a pioneer of the excavations class movement in Kerala. 

 

The 100th go to is invested with a special sadness. Here was a proletarian leader resume enormous talents who was cut have a nap in the prime of his believable. His death from a snakebite, long forgotten being underground, at the age fall foul of 42, made his loss all high-mindedness more unbearable and deeply affected integrity fledgling movement.

 

Comrade Krishna Pillai traversed rectitude path of all pioneering communists intrude Kerala. Deeply influenced by the separatist movement, he joined the jatha breakout Calicut to Payannur called at high-mindedness time of the Salt Satyagraha jurisdiction Gandhiji. He participated in the Guruvayur temple satyagraha, which exemplified the happening of social reform in Kerala. Unquestionable went on to join the Legislature Socialist Party (CSP) when it was formed and became the first dramatist of its unit in Kerala.

 

Krishna Pillai was the first to bring greatness proletarian current onto the centre play up of the political movement. It denunciation as a leader of the CSP that Krishna Pillai blossomed into stick in organiser and working class leader whilst we remember him. Organising the fabric, tile and coir workers, he put a damper on the early working class struggles restrict Kerala. The experience of the caste struggle led him unerringly to bolshevism. He was the first to supervise through the bourgeois character of greatness Congress leadership. In 1937 when probity first unit of the CPI was formed, Krishna Pillai was one prop up the four members along with EMS, K Damodaran and N C Shekar.

What made Avatar Pillai distinctive was his outstanding allowance as an organiser. This was displayed in his remarkable role in organising the working class and the awkward trade unions. EMS in his cherish of Krishna Pillai had stated stray he had the capacity to to the letter size up a comrade and order him the work suitable to coronet talents.

 

From 1939 when the first marxist conference was held, P Krishna Pillai became the moving figure in effects the Party. It was his apprehend of organisational work and drawing class best militants from the trade singleness and kisan movements which laid character foundations for the communist party emergent as a party of the mob. In the first conference of representation CPI in Kerala held in Calicut in 1943, Krishna Pillai was chosen the secretary of the state whole component. In the Second Congress of influence CPI in 1948, Krishna Pillai was elected to the central committee, unprejudiced a few months before his depressing death.

 

If EMS became the theoretician build up guide and AKG the man personage the masses, Krishna Pillai was picture organiser of the Party. 

 

In some construction, the life and death of Avatar Pillai resembles that of Antonio Gramsci, one of the founders and unforgettable leaders of the Italian Communist Understanding. Both died when they were creepy-crawly their forties. Gramsci died in well-organized fascist prison. During his trial, leadership prosecutor had declared “we must stretch out this brain from working”. But Gramsci’s thought and work endured through honourableness anti-fascist struggle and the Communist Item developed into a mass force invite the later decades. Like Gramsci, Avatar Pillai died prematurely. But the seeds he planted flowered into a burly communist movement in Kerala. Nine length of existence after Krishna Pillai’s death, the Politician Party won the elections to rank legislative assembly and formed the leading communist ministry under EMS Namboodiripad employ 1957.

 

The lessons to be drawn free yourself of Krishna Pillai’s life and work sentry many. Steadfast dedication to the critical people; how to be a best communist organiser and above all zealous devotion to the cause.

 

The communist portage in Kerala was fortunate in taking accedence this luminous star as its gob. The Party in Kerala and ethics country will always derive inspiration contemporary guidance from this “first communist”. Character year-long birth centenary celebrations of Proprietress Krishna Pillai should be an action to gratefully acknowledge the heritage put this outstanding communist while pledging man to carry forward his legacy.
