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:
“For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“... while many people pride themselves, and with no exaggeration, on their ability to hear with sympathy of the downfall, sickness, and death of others, very few people seem to know what to do with a report of joy, happiness, good luck.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
