Harkishan Singh Surjeet played an important role in making the CPI(M) the largest contingent of the Left movement in the country. Surjeet polished Marxism-Leninism by his own self-study and learned from its experiences. He always stressed the fundamental importance of critically examining the Party’s ideological and political positions on the basis of Marxism. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the nineteen nineties, he guided the Party in arriving at correct positions learning from the experience of the past. As General Secretary of the CPI (M), he became the most authoritative spokesman for the Left and democratic forces in the country. He worked tirelessly for the defence of democratic and secular values and saw that India maintained its non-aligned and independent foreign policy.
