Comrade Ashok Ghosh, inspired by Subhas Chandra Bose, joined the freedom

movement at a young age. He had participated in the Quit India movement. He

headed the West Bengal unit of the Forward Bloc since 1952. During the

course of these nearly seven decades, he led several mass movements on

issues concerning the common people.




Comrade Ghosh was the senior most leader of the Left Front in West Bengal.

He was one of founders of the West Bengal Left Front. He made an immense

contribution to strengthen the Left Front during the past several decades.




His simple living, amiable nature and firm commitment made him one of the

widely respected leaders in West Bengal, cutting across party lines.

and cadres of the All India Forward Bloc.
