*NAPM salutes the life and relentless work of **Neelabh Mishra for
journalistic justice and human rights*
National Alliance of People's Movements is deeply saddened to know of the
untimely demise of our dear friend, veteran journalist and human rights
activist, Neelabh Mishra, today in Chennai, after a prolonged battle with
liver failure. In so many ways, Neelabh reflected the true spirit of an
Indian citizen who believed in, lived and breathed the constitutional
values and constantly challenged, through his words, work and wisdom, the
narrow confines of 'nationalistic', divisive and unjust politics.
As the Chief Editor of National Herald and Navjeevan and subsequently as
the Editor of Outlook (Hindi) from 2005, Neelabh worked relentlessly and
meticulously to bring forth numerable stories that mattered to the masses
and marginalized people of the country. With over three decades of commendable
work on a wide range of issues, he groomed and guided an entire generation
of journalist-activists. A true feminist and partner of multiple people's
platforms, he was deeply committed to truth, fairness and secular values. A
widely-read and well-informed person, with command over many languages and
also an equally abiding interest in literature, culture and politics, he
carried his wisdom very lightly, with immense humility and responsibility.
With the passing away of Neelabh, the world of journalism and conscientious
citizenry has lost a brave, self-effacing comrade who had an unflinching
faith in the values of constitutional democracy, justice and equality of
all beings. In the times that we are living in, where sections of the
media shrill-mouth only the interests and prejudices of corporates and
fascist political forces, Neelabh stood out like a rock and never for once
drifted away from the spirit of progressive politics and journalistic
ethics of pro-people, secular values.
On behalf of all saathis in NAPM, we extend our most sincere condolences to
human rights activist and long time co-traveller, Kavita Srivastava, who
has constantly been by Neelabh in the past many months, as he fought
bravely against his illness. We will sorely miss him and his brilliance,
but re-commit ourselves to the values he cherished and lived, all his life.
His work has been and would be a guiding spirit to a generation of young
journalists and activists who we know and hope would carry and keep the
torch aglow.
