Death
Study circle discussions molded the young and impressionable, the restless and concerned intelligentsia into thinking on a deeper levels the causes for the social evils. George had answers that were different and seemed to be more profound. Dialectical and Historical materialism as well as readings on Marx’s Das Kapital, philosophical underpinnings of Hegel, Political writings of Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin shed a new light on the topics. He put the learning into practice by organizing the group to fight the reactionary elements represented by the Landlord elements, politically backed by the emerging Jan Sangh party and its student wings the ABVP. He stood in the front at all times leading the charge until he died that day on April 14, 1972.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav’nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav’ns and Earth
Rose out of Chaos:”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Old age is a tyrant that forbids us upon pain of death all the pleasures of youth.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than Death or Night;
To defy Power, which seems Omnipotent;
To love, and bear; to hope, till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;
Neither to change nor falter nor repent;
This, like thy glory, Titan! is to be
Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;
This is alone Life, Joy, Empire and Victory.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
