Obituary - Ram Seegobin: A Unanimous Tribute to a Man of Convictions

Image: An obituary for Ram Seegobin, a medical doctor and founder of the Lalit party, who passed away at 84. He was a radical leftist voice in Mauritian politics for over forty years. Born in 1939, he was recognized for his uncompromising Marxist analysis and community health initiatives, including the "Bambous Health Project." His death on January 28 leaves a significant void in political thought in Mauritius. Many, including political adversaries, reflect on his sincere commitment to his beliefs and his lifelong activism. Seegobin's legacy is marked by a profound coherence between his ideas and actions, earning him respect across the political spectrum, even among former rivals.
