Dear all,
May god bless him peace.
Definitely he was a stallvert and I would like to know about some
other visually impaired legislative assembly members and
parliamentarians ;who have done a such a effort by which they could
become a leader of masses.

[AI] Obituary: Visually challenged Sadhan Gupta an eminent lawyer and the parliamentarian

2015-10-12 Thread avinash shahi 
With the passing away of Sadhan Gupta, eminent lawyer and
parliamentarian of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), on
September 19, the Left Front lost one of its most respected figures,
who, in spite of being visually challenged, rose to be a stalwart of
the communist movement and an inspiration to his comrades. He was 98
and had been suffering from age-related ailments. Gupta was the first
visually challenged person in the country to be elected to the Lok
Sabha and to hold the post of Advocate General.
http://www.frontline.in/the-nation/a-stalwart-passes-away/article7702318.ece?homepage=true
Born in Dhaka on November 7, 1917—the day the Provisional Government
of Alexander Kerensky was overthrown by the Bolshevik Revolution in
Russia—Gupta’s long connection with the communist movement appears to
have been right from the time of his birth. His father, Jogesh Chandra
Gupta, was a well-known barrister practising in the Calcutta High
Court and an eminent Congress leader. When he was just one and a half
years old, an attack of small pox rendered Sadhan Gupta blind forever.
Educated at the Calcutta Blind School, Gupta distinguished himself
academically right from the start. He ranked among the top 10 in the
school final examinations and excelled in Presidency College from
where he graduated with honours

in economics. He did his postgraduation in economics from the same
institution. It was while in college that he got involved with the
leftist movement, and in 1939 he became a member of the undivided
Communist Party of India.

In 1942, he enrolled as an advocate in the Calcutta High Court after
getting a bachelor’s degree in law from Calcutta University. In 1947,
he was called to the Bar from Middle Temple, United Kingdom. In
India’s first general elections, Gupta contested the Calcutta
South-east Lok Sabha seat against Syama Prasad Mookerjee and lost.
However, after Syama Prasad’s death in 1953, he contested the same
seat in the byelection and won against the internationally renowned
jurist Radha Binode Pal. In 1957, he won from the Calcutta East Lok
Sabha constituency. In 1969, he was elected to the West Bengal
Assembly from Kalighat, and in 1986 he was appointed Advocate General
of West Bengal.

Sadhan Gupta’s legal career was outstanding. Right at the beginning,
he gained distinction with his argument in “Emperor vs Shibnath
Banerjee” (1945). The case caught the attention of Mahatma Gandhi, who
complimented Jogesh Chandra Gupta on his son’s legal acumen.
Throughout his career Gupta, took up the cause of the downtrodden and
the oppressed, particularly workers and peasants, all over India.
During the CPI(M)-led Left Front government’s massive land reforms
programme in 1977, Gupta’s efforts in courts against the challenge of
large landowners, was an important factor in the success of the
programme. He was an active trade unionist and president of different
unions in various sectors. He also worked indefatigably for the rights
of the disabled.
