Comrade Jatin Sarker will live on through his work

Professor Jatin Sarker has left us. He was not born into a wealthy family, but he was rich in the wealth of knowledge. He belonged to the marginalised. From childhood, he grew up through great hardship, pursuing his education under the same difficult circumstances. But when his thinking became connected with Marxist thought, his worldview expanded. Until his death, he believed in the philosophy of Marxism-Leninism. In practice, however, he was rooted in the folk tradition. He was not dogmatic, nor was he blinded by ideology. He had a strong capacity to embrace the new.
