Students and working people from North East residing in Delhi today celebrated the 119th birth anniversary of great revolutionary leader Hijam Irabot in Aryabhatta College, South Campus, Delhi University. The programme saw huge participation of students from various colleges of Delhi University.
The programme saw rendition of revolutionary songs remembering Hijam Irabot, poetry recitation, painting exhibition and other cultural activities. After the cultural programme a seminar was organized on the topic ‘Revolutionary legacy of Hijam Irabot and its relevance in our time’ which saw active participation of students, activists and independent researchers.
Chinglen Khumukcham, Convenor, NEFIS said during the seminar “ It is essential to note the truth about Irabot’s intensive work towards building a truly democratic, progressive people’s movement in the region, and his revolutionary views on the question of creating a just society where different communities coexist with mutual respect for each other.”
The programme highlighted the necessity of Irabot’s ideas amid the present state of discord between different communities. Irabot stood for unity among different oppressed communities as a necessary step for people to liberate themselves. At this crucial juncture, NEFIS took it as a duty to highlight Irabot’s vision to build democratic people’s movements that goes beyond the façade of representative democracy apparatus by exposing all forms of exploitation, oppression and subjugation faced by the tioilng masses of the North-East.
