Kamal Guha

Kamal Guha (1928–2007) was an Indian politician. He was an All India Forward Bloc leader and member of the Left Front cabinet in the Indian state of West Bengal for over two decades.

Early life Kamal Guha was born at Dinhata on 20 January 1928. He graduated from Dinhata High School, and passed Intermediate Arts from Victoria College (now Acharya Brojendra Nath Seal College) in Cooch Behar, which was then affiliated with the University of Calcutta. Guha was inspired by Subhas Chandra Bose at a very young age. He decided to join the Forward Bloc when he was still a student. In 2002, he stated publicly that he felt that "indiscriminate recruitment of CPI(M) cadres by government departments and frequent increase in their salary has made the West Bengal government bankrupt."

Guha died on 6 August 2007. In a memorial, Forward Bloc leader Debabrata Biswas said that Guha was a "leader of the people and always fought for the rights of the toiling masses."
