  1. Many thanks for setting this up – one can’t mourn his absence enough, and without feeling abashed, I’d say the tears don’t stop.

  2. It is a great tribute indeed to an unparalleled champion of Human Rights of our era. We were a sort of trying to piece together some of the works and speeches of Balagopal available with us. We appreciate your effort would like to join your effort in a little way.

  3. Thanks so much for this website. I hope people read his writings and understand Balagopal Sirs thoughts and convictions. Its a great loss to the human rights fraternity and more importantly for the victims / survivors of HR violations whom he managed to reach out through his fact findings every weekend. Thanks for putting up his photographs also.

  6. Thanks for the website and the link to all Balagopal’s articles, particulalrly as EPW has become accessible only through Jstor. We, from West Bengal, now experiencing the CPI(Maoist) activities and as expected, are going through the debates that Balagopal and others in Andhrapradesh went through a decade back. It is interesting that Koteswar Rao @ Kishenji, has mentioned that in response to an open letter. That way, we, who are for the tribal peoples’ rights, but has questions about the strategies involved, meaning those who are not against violence per se, but when it is felt to be unjust, we will miss him more.

  7. మనకాలం వీరుడు ఎవరంటే, సమకాలీన స్థితిగతులకు తన రచనలతో, నిరశానలతో, మొక్కవోని ధైర్యంతో ముందు తరాలకే కాదు, సమకాలీనులకూ విలువలకు నిలబడి పనిచేయడము అంటే తన ఆచరణల ద్వార చూపినాడు. తనను విన్న ఎవరైనా, ఎప్పుడైనా పనిచేయడానికి, ఆలోచించడానికి పరిస్థితులకు ఎదిరీడమే అని అనుకుంటే, అది కేవలం అపోహగానే అనిపించి, తనతో కలిసి పోరాడే స్ఫూర్తిని కలిగించే బాలగోపాల్ …. మనకాలం వీరుడు
