Siddhartha Shankar Ray Hijacked after Death as People`s resistance has been HIJACKED in Brahaminical Hegemony Politics in Bengal!
Most controversial in Indian politics perhaps for Sikh Genocide and Naxal Repression, however, SS Ray had been the last Chief Minister of Bengal who had also been a Central Minister in Indira Gandhi Government. Ray was known to be very close to Mrs Gandhi and had been one of the advisers who led her to take the Draconian Steps as Operation Blue Star and EMERGENCY. Ray has been CREDITED for Naxal Repression as well as Repression of Khalistani Movement in Punjab hre Indira sent him as Governer after Arjun singh failed. Ray was the man who played a major role as an AMBASSADOR in USA to amend biliteral relations which is now Strategical Partnership.
But Mrs Mamata Banerjee and her party TMC succeeded to push aside CONGRESS Claim to bear RAY Legacy. Mind you, Ms Banerjee has taken over the Brahaminical Political Leadership already and the Bengal Intelligentsia and Civil society support her crossing the fence! She also hijacked Marxist Slogans and Peasant Movement in Bengal. Mamata has also CONVERTED Anti Brahamin Matua Movement Brahaminical.
Former West Bengal chief minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray was on Sunday cremated with full state honours at the Keoratala crematorium where several prominent political leaders, including Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, were present. The departed leader's body was taken to the Assembly,
Calcutta High Court, CAB headquarters and Chittaranjan Seva Sadan before being taken to the crematorium as hundreds of people lined the streets to have a last glimpse of him during the final journey.
Mamata Banerjee, who was close to Ray and would often go to him for advice, accompanied the hearse for some distance on its final journey to the Keoratala crematorium.She rejoined the funeral procession after the departed leader's body was taken to places intimately associated with his life and career.
With Siddhartha Shankar Ray's death at 90 on Saturday, curtains were drawn on the most interesting, flamboyant and colourful chapter in post-Independence West Bengal. Ray's tenure as chief minister between 1972 and 1977 was dogged with several controversies — he was ruthless in dealing with the Naxalites in the 1970s and strongly supported the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi, the then prime minister in June, 1975.
But it was his maverick stature as a politician who infused a new wave in turbulent political scenario of the late 1960s and 1970s that made the chapter interesting.
State Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Finance minister Asim Dasgupta paid their last respects and placed a wreath on Ray's body at the Assembly as leaders of other political parties also paid their last respects.
West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee president Manas Bhuniya attended the funeral and paid his respects.
Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Partha Chatterjee, union minister of state Mukul Roy and MP Kalyan Banerjee were among several Trinamool Congress leaders present.
Former Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee, Left Front chairman Biman Bose also paid their last respects to Ray whose body was consigned to flames with full state honours and a 21-gun salute.
The body was taken to the High Court where judges and lawyers paid their last respects and then to the CAB headquarter at the Eden Gardens, where CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya placed a wreath on his body.
Ray, a famed barrister, an able administrator and also a first class sportsman, is survived by his wife Maya.
KOLKATA: Bengal's leaders never fail to see an "opportunity", even in grief.
On Saturday, within a few minutes of the news of Siddhartha Shankar Ray's death, UPA allies Congress and Trinamool jostled for control of events at Ray's Beltola Road residence, with both parties keen to showcase their proximity to the late leader.
The Trinamool beat the Congress in the race to reach Ray's residence. Party chief Mamata Banerjee was among the first to arrive. Union ministers Mukul Roy and Saugata Roy, leader of opposition Partha Chatterjee, mayor Sovan Chatterjee and senior leader Subrata Bakshi trooped in shortly. The Trina-mool brigade cited Ray's proximity with Mamata and the fact that "he endorsed her brand of politics" to explain their hurried arrival. Mamata, in fact, said she would be present during Ray's funeral procession on Sunday.
Congress leaders started arriving almost an hour later.
The first Congress leader to arrive was former PCC working president Pradip Bhattacharya. Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee's envoy Sukhendu Sehkar Ray came next, followed by PCC president Manas Bhunia. But the tension among the allies was palpable.
Mamata exchanged a few words with Bhattacharya, but stormed out when Bhunia arrived, pacing up and down Beltala Road. Sukhendu Sekhar Ray was stopped briefly at the gate when he wanted to carry a bouquet inside. It was only when some Trinamool leaders intervened that he was "allowed" to go in.
The mayor-in-council members of KMC were present in full strength, perhaps to outnumber the Congress middle-ranked leaders. In fact, it was the mayor who was given the charge of arranging a platform to keep the body of the former chief minister for public viewing.
With the state polls approaching, both the opposition camps were trying to give the impression that the former CM was close to them, experts said. Ray being a top political leader of the state comparable in stature with former CM Jyoti Basu, a sympathy wave over his death could be used to advantage in the polls, it was felt.

Meanwhile,the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), which was scathing in its attacks on former West Bengal chief minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray when he was alive, was Sunday unsparing in its criticism a day after his death.
The CPI-M's Bengali mouthpiece 'Ganashakti' dubbed Ray's chief ministerial stint (1972-1977) as a 'dark phase' in the state's history.
It blamed him for unleashing 'semi-fascist terror' to put leftist workers behind bars or get them murdered at the hands of 'anti-socials sponsored by the Congress'.
While the criticism was nothing new, it drew attention as the daily launched the assault while dwelling on the life and achievements of Ray, who died of renal failure here Saturday.
The newspaper had described as 'improper' and 'ungraceful' some media reports staunchly critical of Marxist icon Jyoti Basu after he died in January this year.
Assailing Ray for having 'influenced the decision' to topple the first United Front government in 1968, the paper said he also played a role in denying CPI-M the chance to form a government in 1971 despite the Marxist party emerging as the single largest party.
The daily accused Ray of rigging the 1972 assembly polls, it said 'the elections were converted into a farce' prompting the leftists to boycott the House proceedings for the next five years.
'His chief ministerial reign is regarded as the darkest phase in West Bengal's history. On the pretext of crushing the Naxalites (Maoists) and safeguarding law and order he had for all practical purposes declared an emergency in 1972 itself,' the daily said.
'The Siddhartha Ray government's semi-fascist terror led to arrest of Left party workers and their murders at the hands of the Congress-sponsored anti-socials,' the daily said.
Alleging that many left workers were forced to flee homes, it said 'many of them were sacked from jobs and many trade union offices were taken over by the anti-socials'.
'Ganashakti' also trained its guns on Ray for playing an active role in the declaration of nationwide emergency June 25, 1975.
However, the paper conceded that Ray got certain amount of success in combating the Khalistani terrorists as Punjab governor between 1986 and 1989, but commented that questions had been raised then regarding the state of democracy in Punjab in the absence of an elected government.
The paper also had some good words for Ray's personal relations with Marxist icon Jyoti Basu. 'As they were contemporaries, there existed a personal close relation between them that transcended differences over political ideology,' it said in the write-up.
'But be it in the 1970s or now, his role was never conducive to strengthening democracy. The well-meaning people of the state never felt endeared to him for importing terror and anarchy,' it said.
Born to an illustrious lineage — his father Sudhir Kumar Ray was a well-known barrister and mother Aparna Devi was the daughter of the revolutionary freedom fighter Chittaranjan Das — Ray did not have to live the life of an ordinary man.
He played tennis and loved cricket. He was flamboyant in his approach and, at times, almost as flashy as the bold colours he wore.
Ray started his political carrier as a cabinet minister in the Bidhan Chandra Roy government but it was his fast rise in the corridors of power in New Delhi and proximity to Gandhi that catapulted his career.
He served as Union minister for education and health between 1992 and 96.
But the high point of Ray's career was his tenure as chief minister, considered by many as the darkest phase in Bengal's history.
It was during this period that the Naxalite movement, which began as a peasants' movement in 1967, gathered momentum. Ray instituted many draconian counter-measures to end the movement. Several youths lost their lives in fake encounters and torture while in police custody became the norm.
Yet, Gandhi had immense faith in his capabilities as administrator. Gandhi's son Rajiv appointed Ray as the governor of Punjab during the height of Khalistan movement in 1986.
During PV Narasimha Rao's tenure, Ray was appointed ambassador to the US in 1992.
Ray contributed to strengthening Indo-US ties: PM
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Sunday condoled the death of former West Bengal chief minister Siddhartha Shankar Ray and said he had contributed "immensely to the processes of nation building" as well as to Indo-US ties.
"As ambassador to the US in the early '90s, he contributed to the strengthening of Indo-US ties ," Manmohan Singh said in a condolence message.
Ray, 90, died of renal failure in Kolkata Saturday.
The prime minister said Ray had "contributed immensely to the processes of nation building in various fields".
"In Ray's death, we have lost a staunch nationalist, a modernist and a widely respected leader, whose work spanned a diverse range of areas in public life. I will always remember him as a senior colleague of the Indian National Congress and a very valued friend," Manmohan Singh said.
A prominent barrister, Ray started his political career as a cabinet minister in West Bengal in the late 1950s and was later chief minister of West Bengal from 1972 to 1977, the prime minister recalled in his message. As chief minister, Ray played a key role in tackling the Naxalite problem and in the rehabilitation of refugees from Bangladesh, he added.
"Ray also served as union education minister and governor of Punjab."
A leader of many hues
TNN, Nov 7, 2010, 03.09am IST
A foremost politician of West Bengal, Siddhartha Shankar Ray will be remembered not only as the man to whom Indira Gandhi had turned for legal advice before proclamation of the Emergency and who had controlled the Naxalite violence in West Bengal through his hard-line law and order policies, but also as a leading lawyer and a lover of sports. Always a controversial politician, two of Ray's main contributions to the state were resettlement of the lakhs of refugees who had entered Bengal during the Bangladesh war and bringing the Metro Railway to Kolkata. In his death, Bengal has lost a colourful politician who had retained his youth till the very last.Born in 1920, Ray was 90 when he died. He had been suffering from kidney ailments for some time and was on dialysis for about a year. Though seriously ill, he used to keep abreast of political developments within the state as well as at the national level, and used to interact with the media regularly.
Being the grandson of Deshabandhu Chittaranjan Das, Siddhartha Shankar Ray had natural links with both law and politics. After completion of his studies, Ray was called to the Bar of England. On his return, he started his practice in Calcutta high court. His initiation in politics was as a minister in the Bidhan Chandra Roy cabinet in 1957 as the minister for law and tribal welfare. He was also elected to the West Bengal assembly in 1962, 1967 and 1969. Initially, he used to contest from the Bhowanipore seat, but later shifted to Chowringhee.
His rise to prominence in the national scene began when Indira Gandhi enlisted his help in her fight against the Congress Syndicate. He contested the Lok Sabha election from Raiganj in 1971 and won the seat to become minister for education and youth services in the Indira Gandhi cabinet in 1971, but he was also given the task to look after West Bengal affairs. It was the harbinger of things to come, and Ray took over as the chief minister of West Bengal in March, 1972, after Congress won an assembly election that was marred by violence. Led by Jyoti Basu, CPM boycotted the entire tenure of the assembly till June 1977, alleging booth-capturing and rigging in the election.
West Bengal passed through a turbulent period during Ray's tenure as chief minister. He took over as CM shortly after the liberation war of Bangladesh when close to a million refugees from that country had taken shelter in the state. Their rehabilitation was an uphill task, but the state government performed it with credit. At the same time, the state was being rocked by the Naxalite violence. Killings had become the order of the day. Ray as chief minister gave a free hand to police to suppress the Naxalites, which did bring back semblances of normality in the state. There were excesses like the Cossipore- Baranagar killings, but Ray in subsequent interviews had pointed out that there was no allegation of his personal involvement in this. But the same period also saw the beginning of the construction of the Metro Railway in Kolkata, with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi laying the foundation stone in November, 1972. The ubiquitous mini buses were also introduced in Kolkata when Ray was chief minister. In those days, mini buses did not allow any passenger to stand.

Ray, Bengal's last aristocrat politician, departs
TNN, Nov 7, 2010, 03.18am IST
KOLKATA: Love him or hate him, one could never ignore him. That was Siddhartha Shankar Ray, perhaps the last among the state's political aristocrats who took Bengal closer to Delhi and India closer to the US during his Washington stint as ambassador. Grandson of Chittaranjan Das and a barrister himself, Ray entered politics when it wasn't all about money-making.Ray wasn't above controversy, though. His harsh steps against the Naxalites in the '70s, advocating Emergency rule in 1975 and taking on the Khalistani movement as Punjab governor in 1986 earned him negative votes. But he bravely faced it all, even after he fell out with Indira Gandhi after her son Sanjay started calling the shots.
Those who frequented his Beltola residence during his last days would recollect how he dictated notes about his reactions on varied issues that ranged from the state's financial crisis to the Ayodhya dispute to some constitutional dispute that had broken out within an hour of undergoing dialysis. Even as he touched 90, he remained young at heart, with arguments in their precision, language and tenor that could put the wiliest of them to shame.
This multifaceted life drew to an end on Saturday evening after a long innings at his Beltola residence. Ray was 90, and is survived by wife Maya. The nonagenarian Congress leader had been suffering from kidney ailments for some time and was on dialysis since last March.
As soon as news of his death spread, senior political leaders of the state went to his residence. One of the first to reach was Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, who stays at the close by Harish Chatterjee Street. PCC chief Manas Bhunia, who was in Barasat, rushed back to the city. Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee condoled Ray's demise.
His body will be kept for public viewing at his residence from 10.30 am to 1 pm on Sunday. It will then be taken to the assembly, the Calcutta high court, the Writers' Buildings and the Cricket Association of Bengal office before the last lap to the Keoratala burning ghat.
The state has declared Monday a holiday in its offices. Educational institutions have been asked to shut down, too.
The tags of former chief minister or former ambassador don't quite describe Ray. A barrister and a sports lover, he also made his mark in spheres other than politics. But despite its baggage of controversy, politics was his passion.
Handpicked by Bidhan Chandra Roy in 1957 as law minister, Ray rose to fame in the early '70s when he emerged as the main adviser to Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Delhi would call on Kolkata frequently during this time because of Ray's legal acumen, his administrative capabilities and his guiding role during the Bangladesh War and the subsequent influx of the refugees into Bengal.
The flipside of this bright career, it's often argued, was the way he tried to suppress the Naxalite uprising and advised Indira Gandhi on the proclamation of Emergency.
As chief minister, Siddhartha Shankar Ray gave a free hand to the police to suppress the Naxalite movement in the turbulent '70s. He later admitted that his government did not pay due attention to the development of tribal areas.
When confronted with questions at his residence, Ray used to say he was not as bad as some thought. He reminisced how he played a role in releasing CPM parliamentarian Jyotirmoy Basu when he was arrested at the directions of Delhi. Or, arranged for the education of some of the Naxalite activists when their parents met him in private.
Ray paid for all this when he stood in splendid isolation for a considerable period after the Left Front came to power in 1977. This could be because Ray, during his stint as chief minister, had displeased a section of Congress leaders by appointing the Wanchoo Commission to trace out corruption in his own Cabinet.
A section of his own partymen left Ray in the lurch after the Congress debacle in 1977 and refused to be associated with the Emergency rule, till he was appointed Punjab governor in 1986. The Left Front despite having an absolute majority didn't have a happy time during the Assembly debates when Ray came back as Opposition leader in 1991.
Some of them were relieved when Ray left for Washington in 1992 as the Indian ambassador. Even then some in the corridors of power in Delhi thought that the septuagenarian would hardly fit into his predecessor Abid Hussain's shoes. But the old man lived up to the expectations and made it known to Delhi that he couldn't be discounted.

Siddhartha Shankar Ray (Bengali: সিদ্ধার্থশঙ্কর রায়) (1920 – 6 November 2010) was an Indian politician belonging to the Indian National Congress. He was a prominent barrister, Punjab Governor and Education minister of India.[1][2][3] He was also the ambassador of India to the United States of America[4][5] and served as the Chief Minister of West Bengal from 1972 to 1977.[6]
Contents[hide] |
[edit] Background and education
Ray's father, Sudhir Kumar Ray, was a well known barrister of Calcutta High Court and mother Aparna Devi, was the eldest daughter of the nationalist leader 'Deshbandhu' Chittaranjan Das and Basanti Devi. His younger sister is Justice Manjula Bose, one of the first two women judges of the Calcutta High Court. Ray is married to Maya Ray, who grew up in England, and has been referred to as "a noted barrister and former elected official" by Thomas J. Manton, a member of the United States House of Representatives.
Ray was educated at Presidency College, Calcutta, and then was called to the Bar in England. While in college, he was Captain the Presidency College cricket team. Ray died on 6th november, 2010 in Kolkata after a protracted illness.
[edit] Career
Ray started his career as a barrister in the Calcutta High Court. Later, helped by Ashoke Kumar Sen, he started his political career as a Cabinet Minister in Bidhan Chandra Ray's cabinet in West Bengal. Later, through the 1960s he steeply rose in all Indian level politics in Delhi to became Union Cabinet Minister of Education & Youth Services of the Government of India.
After the Congress won the General Election of 1972, he became the Chief Minister of West Bengal from March 19, 1972 to June 21, 1977. He took office shortly after the Bangladesh Liberation War, and his administration was faced with the massive problem of resettling over a million refugees in various parts of the state. The civic services of Calcutta in particular found rehabilitation of the Bangladeshi refugees to be an uphill task, but the state government, under Ray's guidance, performed this task with much credit.
Later, he had the distinction of serving as the Governor of Punjab from April 2, 1986 to December 8, 1989. When the Congress came back to power once again in Delhi in 1991, Ray was sent as India's Ambassador to the United States. He remained in the USA from 1992 to 1996. His tenure in Washington was widely considered to be very successful.
Ray died on 6 November 2010 at the age of 90 from renal failure.[7]
