Shantanu Kamble, who was one of the founding members of the Kabir Kala Manch, died on 13 June https://www.firstpost.com/living/shantanu-kamble-passes-away-remembering-the-power-influence-of-the-dalit-shahirs-rebellion-4518191.html Yogesh Maitreya June 15, 2018
In 2005, he was accused of having links with Naxalites. He was put into police custody for almost a 100 days. It was a torturous time for him. Eventually, he was acquitted, innocent as he was. But this physically and mentally torturous period seemed to have left an effect on him which is not imaginable by many of us
Shantanu was a shahir whose songs were part of almost all movements in and outside of Maharashtra after 2005. 'Dalita Re Halla Bol Na' was the song which was like the manifesto of the movement...Anyone who had met him could tell how rooted the sense of humanity was in his nature. In the battle against caste, his shahiri and genuine demeanour were sources of support to others,
Padmasri Prof. Radhamohan, a dear friend of many sustainable agriculture practitioners, committed civil society
proponent, an environmentalist who helped bridge science society relations in Odisha and beyond and a Gandhian with a great sense of humour is no more. He has been battling pneumonia for a while and has been on ventilation for the last fortnight at a hospital in Bhubaneswar.

Message from MV Sastrigaru: For me, and so many, Radha Mohan was a unique blend of simplicity, humility, depth and commitment : student community was his constituency in his initial years, and on this he implanted environmental consciousness, combining this with his main vocation which was teaching Economics.
Being in a transferable job those years must have been tough on Radha Mohan. But he made this an opportunity to relate with a widening student circle on a variety of local environmental matters on which he delved in the state of Odisha : that is how he built his own understanding of environmental issues from below.
