We have just received, with deep grief, the news of the passing of a close friend, the outstanding Marxist economist Nirmal Chandra. Nirmal was a rare person, modest, and not given to displays of emotion or verbiage. It was from the concerns reflected in his work, and the penetrating sense of inquiry he brought to them, that one could discern his sense of commitment to the people. Nirmal also, in his unostentatious way, supported RUPE, Analytical Monthly Review, Frontier, and other such ventures. The loss is not only personal.

This is a very sad news and certainly a great loss to the progressive work. My heartfelt condolences to his family and progressive community.
