About Me:
Ayillyath Kuttiari Gopalan (1 October 1904 ? March 22, 1977), popularly known as A. K. Gopalan or AKG, was an Indian Communist leader and first leader of opposition in India. He was an affectionate comrade, caring and enquiring about the well being of his comrades; he was a leader par excellence; he deeply felt for the poor and the underprivileged and they in turn identified with him; he was a colleague who respected the views of others even if he had reservations and differences; he was like a saint to many; he was one who lent an ear to anyone who approached him. To millions of ordinary people in Kerala, AKG, as he was popularly known, was an icon.
