Kishan Patnaik - Year_2004 Obituary

Kishan Patnaik breathed his last on September 27 at Bhubaneshwar at the age of 74. His demise comes as a great loss to the democratic movement in the country. He will be remembered for his passionate commitment to value-based politics and for his relentless campaign against the retrogressive policies of economic liberalisation. He favoured a broad-based coalition of socialists, communists and other democrats against imperialist globalisation and worked hard to retrieve the socialist stream from the morass of political opportunism. His whole political life would be remembered as a message of protest against today’s political culture of corruption, criminalisation and communalisation…

Kishan Patnaik was not only a socialist thinker in his own right, but also probably the most creative of the Gandhians who would expand, enrich and apply the Gandhi-Lohia-J.P… Kishan Patnaik adhered to the Gandhian critique of modern civilization and the idea of progress. Most of the developments in late capitalism seemed to him a confirmation of his beliefs.

His prolific pen would react to most of the burning issues of practical politics as well as those of theory, from farmers’ suicides to the ‘clash of civilizations’. The June 2004 editorial of ‘Samayik Varta’ (a journal founded and edited by Kishan Patnaik for nearly three decades) was quick in pointing out that the verdict 2004 was clearly against the new economic policies pursued for the last decade and a half and that the new regime had already started betraying it, a point to remember for all those who wish to carry his legacy through the present and future struggles.

As a young member of the third Lok Sabha, Kishan Patnaik was perhaps the first MP from Orissa to have raised the issue of starvation deaths in Kalahandi in Indian Parliament. The powers that be did not have the guts to admit that stark reality and efforts were made to sweep the starvation deaths under the carpet of false claims and statistical lies, much the same way as governments deal with the phenomenon of starvation deaths and farmers’ suicides today. Between 1964 and 2004, India has certainly changed a lot, but defying the gloss and grandeur of globalisation hunger continues to stalk the villages of Kalahandi and Koraput as doggedly as was seen first hand by Kishan Patnaik in his early political years. Patnaik never lost sight of this fundamental plight of rural India, and securing the right to livelihood for the people on the margin therefore always remained central to his politics and to his vision of development.

Kishen Pattnayak's death did not make headlines. Only one news channel ran this story on September 27, the day he died… Clearly, our media that loves to hate politics had no space for the one politician who did not fit the stereotypes of a politician. Yet this is one politician who needs to be remembered and what better day than Gandhi Jayanti to look again at the politics of someone like Kishen Pattnayak.
