 | | It was with great sadness that members of the Socialist International learnt of the passing away of Madhu Dandavate, one of India's most respected socialist leaders who died on 12 November, at the age of 81, following a four year battle with a serious illness. |
 | | Born on 21 January, 1924, in Ahmednagar in the state of Maharashtra, Dandavate took part in India's struggle for independence from Britain in 1942, galvanised by Mohandas K. Gandhi - better known as Mahatma Gandhi. |
 | | Dandavate, together with his wife, Pramila, also a noted socialist leader and champion of women's rights, were frequent participants in activities of the International, both in India and abroad. |
