  Ram Manohar Lohia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lohia organized a student protest in 1928 to protest the all-white Simon Commission which was to consider the possibility of granting India dominion status without requiring consultation of the Indian people.
Lohia, along with freedom fighter Usha Mehta, broadcast messages in Bombay from a secret radio station called Congress Radio for three months before detection, as a measure to give the disarrayed Indian population a sense of hope and spirit in absence of their leaders.
Lohia is often called a maverick socialist, a cliched but nevertheless apt description.He gave that impression not to be controversial, but because he was always evolving his thoughts, and like his mentor, Gandhi, did not hesitate to speak the truth as he saw it.

Needless to say that Lohia’s introduction to ‘Marx, Gandhi and Socialism’ (from which Kuldeep takes his passage) is written in the postcolonial context, during the period in which American economists used their alarming population theories to frighten us.
Lohia’s forthright opposition to passports and visas and his deliberate violation of rules concerning them clearly reveals that he never upheld any rigid and militant version of nationalism.
Incidentally, Lohia is one of those few thinkers in India who paid enormous attention to the question of caste and provided a normative response to it.

 Nation in Disarray
I was shocked on my visit to Tamil Nadu to be told by a Dalit Christian priest that so much is the social ostracism that the Dalit Christians are not allowed to be buried in the same graveyard as non-dalit Christians.
Rammanohar Lohia had warned that "the system of castes is a terrifying force of stability and against change, a force that stabilizes all current meanness, dishonour and life." He had wanted Dalits to be pushed into positions of power.
He was clear that it was futile to talk of revolutionary politics unaccompanied by social change and further that "only that political party has a future in the country which would make itself the spearhead of this social revolution and herald a new dawn."

 Bibliography on Party Politics in India, 1950-62
From the section on frequency distributions of major categories, for example, the four most frequently used groups are "party composition," "party organization," "party goals," and "party activities." The frequency counts of the individual codes deserve closer examination.
As one of the most frequently used codes, 360 (party leaders and officials) reflects the emphasis in the literature on political personalities like Jawaharal Nehru, E.M.S. Namboodiripad, C. Rajagopalachari, V. Patel, Rajendra Prasad, Jayaprakash Narayan, and Rammanohar Lohia who have dominated the Indian political scene since independence in 1947.
The high frequencies of codes 370 (party factions) and 250 (party discipline) reflect the fact that powerful leaders in India have often dissented from party ranks, formed groups within a major party, or even formed new parties rather than conform to accepted party doctrine.

 Ajit Roy: Congress Socialism (August 1939)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Unwillingness to support the “Forward Bloc” – a bloc of left groupings inside the Indian National Congress initiated by the radical ex-President Subhas Bose – and the domination of the Stalinist Party are among the reasons cited in the statement issued to the press by the four stalwarts of the Congress Socialist Party.
Rammohan Lohia, one of the leading theoreticians, talking about the possibility of a split in the Congress, informs us that such talk is loose and dangerous and finds solace in the vision that “all major groups in the Congress are advancing and the difference among them lies in their type and rate of progress.”
Lohia along with the three others has resigned from the party leadership.

 The Day After
Gandhigiri's main objective is to overcome 'Dadagiri' or 'bullyism' by encouraging people to adopt non-violence and think of constructive ways to solve an issue.
It is worthwhile remembering that Rammanohar Lohia had attempted something identical in the decade after the Mahatma's death.
Finally, the third types that Lohia wanted to promote were the Kujat Gandhians, the heretics who sought to merge Gandhi's legacy of constructive work with the struggle against injustice.
