Tribute to Satnam JangalnamaDate: 8th May, 2016
Venue: Community Centre, Opposite Radha Krishna temple, Model Town, Patiala
Time: 11:00 a.m.People in the jungle don’t know who Nehru was, or what happened
in 1947. Nor do they know about the change of rule from the Whites to the
Browns. For them, “Dilli” (Delhi) is only a word associated with the
government, and to them, the government means greedy contractors, repressive
police, displacement and harassment.” These are words of Gurmeet Singh,
famously known as Satnam taken from his beautifully observed travelogue of the
forests of Bastar, named Jangalnama following which he came to be known as
Satnam Jangalnama. Satnam, who hailed from a backward family of Amritsar, was a
man of revolution, a creative writer, and a sensitive human being, who spent
more than four decades of his life struggling for a better world, for better
humans, and a better life. Satnam left his graduation in second year in 1970s
under influence of Naxalite movement and dedicated his life for the cause of
revolution by becoming a professional revolutionary. He worked as a lathe man,
a foreman, and as a daily wage worker among working class to organize them. He
also worked among religious minorities, dalits, oppressed nationalities, and
played a pivotal role in collaboration of different Muslim democratic
organizations after Gujarat genocide 2002. He was also a member of executive
committee of People’s Democratic Front of India (PDFI), and Mumbai Resistance
2004. He consistently opposed state’s atrocities on people of Kashmir, and
launched a campaign against Operation Green Hunt at all India level. Satnam
wrote in Punjabi and English equally beautifully, and wrote under various names
in revolutionary magazine ‘People’s March’. He also remained an active member
of editorial boards of Punjabi magazines ‘Sulgde Pind’, ‘Lok kafla’, ‘People’s
Resistance’, and ‘Jan Pratirodh’.Satnam ended his life at his residence on 28th
April, 2016 in Patiala, struggling with our society’s complicated relations,
movements’ complexities, and crisis of revolutionary movement. He will always
be remembered as an innovative writer, a vigilant social scientist, a dedicated
worker and at the same time, a critic of revolutionary movement. Satnam was a
multitalented person who could argue about society and science, about poverty
and stars, about revolution and big bang, about Marx and Einstein, about
history and time machine, and about future and black holes equally
well.Friends, we are gathering on 8th May, 2016 at Community Centre (Opposite
Radha Krishna mandir, Model Town) Patiala at 11:00 a.m. to pay a tribute to our
dear comrade, guide, revolutionary, life scientist, and more than anything, a
beautiful human being, Satnam.Red Salute!Lots of Love!Darshan Pal Singh
