220 Gadari Baba Bujha Singh
(Punjabi: ਬਾਬਾ
ਬੂਝਾ
ਸਿੰਘ)
Baba Bujha Singh was
arrested on July 28, 1970
and killed in a police
encounter near Phillaur, in Punjab under
Parkash Singh Badal as
Chief Minister.
Baba Bujha Singh was
an Indian revolutionary leader. He was an
activist of the Ghadar Party and later became a
key leader of the Lal Communist Party. Singh
later declared as associate of the Naxalite
movement in Punjab.
He was one of the leading
organizers of the Ghadar Party in Argentina.
Baba Bujha Singh returned to India via Moscow
and China.
Baba Bujha Singh would
later join the Communist Party of India. Within
the Communist Party, he was a prominent figure
in the dissident faction that eventually formed
the Lal Communist Party in 1948. After the Lal
Communist Party was dissolved and largely
amalgamated back into the Communist Party of
India, Baba Bujha Singh became passive and did
not involve himself in party politics.
Baba Bujha Singh deplored
the positions adopted by the 20th Congress of
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union held in
1956, labelling the congress as
'anti-communist'. He argued that the 1956
congress would eventually lead to the
disintegration of the Soviet Union.
He resumed political
activism in the wake of the 1967 communist
rising. Baba Bujha Singh began contacting left
wing dissidents inside the Communist Party of
India (Marxist), urging them to rebel against
the leadership of the party.
Baba Bujha Singh was
arrested on July 28, 1970 and killed in a police
encounter near Phillaur. There are references to
him in Punjabi literature, for example the poet
Shiv Kumar atalvi
wrote the poem Budhe Rukh Nu Fansi in his
honour. In 2010, Bakhshinder a journalist turned
script writer and film maker started the
production of a feature film titled Baba Inqlab
Singh, on Baba Bujha Singh's life.
The Punjab state
headquarters of the Communist Party of India
(Marxist-Leninist) Liberation in Mansa is known
as Baba Bujha Singh Bhavan.
