I know when you felt that this year we were going to establish the record of bringing out 51 editions in one year, you had become very happy and you were planning to write something on the occasion of the completion of 19 years of the publication of the People’s Review.

In your notebook, I saw a list of friends of People’s Review whom you wanted to invite on the occasion of the marking of the anniversary -- entrance to the 20th year – of the Weekly. Unfortunately, instead of your piece about the Weekly, obituaries on you were published. It is really sad that the baby that you had nurtured entered into its youth, but you were absent at the time of celebrating this joy.
This week, People’s Review entered into its 20th year, but we severely felt your absence, the absence of one of the founding members of the Weekly. Without any notice, you suddenly left us. We are stunned on your untimely demise. The day you were leaving us, Monday, July 5, you had insisted to me to go to the Office early. Both of us, along with our daughter Punjita, went to the office and you met with our colleagues and other friends. After we returned home, you were busy in your regular duty. We thought, everything was okay with you and as usual, I went to bed as I saw you were sharing happiness with the kids of your brother and sisters who stood first division in the SLC examination this year. You even didn’t inform them that very soon you were leaving them.
Dear Jasu,
We don’t have any complaints against you. You always were beloved to us – me, son Pujab and daughter Punjita. You cared for us and encouraged us very sincerely and you made it sure that we didn’t feel the scarcity for anything. You struggled hard to establish us, to establish Samrachana and later People’s Review. You were not limited only within the family and the Weekly, but also active in politics and social works as well. You had managed time to do all these things even after taking care of all house-hold works.
You are not with us anymore, although you will remain inside our hearts always. We admire your boldness, courage and struggle. As life goes on, we will continue to walk ahead, to fulfill your dreams. The most important thing we recall is that even when we faced difficult financial crunch on different periods due to the advertisements that had been blocked by the Indian Embassy officials, you never wished to compromise against the nation’s interests, instead, you wished to struggle to continue the Weekly. Still, we don’t get advertisements from many organizations under the Indian influence. But you didn’t insist that we go for a compromise, rather you always gave inspiration to us and tried hard to bring out the Weekly regularly.    
Here, I would like to make special thanks to our senior and junior colleagues, who brought out the newspaper during our absence after the demise of our beloved Jasu. Also, due to their sincere contribution for years, the People’s Review has been able to be recognized with an identity of its own among the domestic and international readerships.
Furthermore, thanks go to those friends of People’s Review who have contributed to us to make the Weekly regular and also the advertisers who have encouraged us to fight for national interests, although this path is very thorny.
We sincerely hope we will receive continuous support from the friends of People’s Review to fight for the cause of nationalism.
Finally, Dear Jasu,
We – me, Pujab and Punjita – pray to the Almighty for your eternal peace. May your soul rest in peace forever! Thank you Jasu for your hard efforts, struggle and contribution!
We transform this sorrow into courage! Albida Jasu!
