She was one of the founding members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist), in Maharashtra. Among the policy papers drafted by the Marxist movement, Anuradha had contributed significantly to the ones on castes and 'Feminism and Marxism'. She made the guerillas realise the potential of worker cooperatives in areas like agricultural production, in Dhandakaranya. She was also critical on shifting patriarchal ideas that were then dominant in the party. Jyoti Punwani wrote “The ‘Naxalite menace’, says Manmohan Singh, 'is the biggest threat to the country'. But I remember a girl who was always laughing and who gave up a life rich in every way to change the lives of others.” In her obituary for Anuradha, with whom she was friends from the days when the latter was still a college student in the '70s. ==Early life== Anuradha was born to an older generation of communists, Ganesh and Kumud Shanbag〔 who were married in the CPI office in Mumbai.〔 They were in the party till the mid-1950s, when it had not yet branched into the present Maoist and Marxist factions.〔 Ganesh later got into the Defence committee, and volunteered to work in the cases filed against the communists.〔 Kumud has been an active social worker all her life, and is at present involved with a women's group. They were very progressive in the way they brought up their children, who later became revolutionaries. Anuradha's brother is a noted Mumbai-based playwright, writing progressive plays. Anuradha attended J. B. Petit School in Santacruz. The children were exposed to varied views and ideas and were motivated to read a lot and develop their own interests such as classical dancing and theatre.〔 It was in such a household, very conductive to communist ideas, where Anuradha would first become intrigued in politics during in college. The prime period for the communist propaganda in India was the 1970s with the Cultural Revolution in China, reaction to the Vietnam War in the US, and many other social changes. It was during this time that Naxalbari came into being,〔 setting fire to the whole of South Asia. Anuradha was then involved with PROYOM, a radical student group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anuradha Ghandy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
