Ahilya Rangnekar, inspirational Communist leader and one of the last surviving members of the generation that participated in the freedom movement, died in the early hours of April 19 in her home on Bhao Daji Road in Mumbai. She was 87. A former member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), founder-member of the All India Democratic Women’s Association, corporator of the Bombay Municipal Corporation for 19 years from 1961 and CPI(M) member of Parliament elected from Bombay North Central in 1977, the diminutive and doughty Ahilyatai was an activist and doer till the end. She was a much-loved fighter for people’s causes in Mumbai and Maharashtra, and a public figure who commanded respect across the political spectrum.
