Nihar Mukherjee (1920–2010) was an Indian politician who served as General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) (SUCI (C)).[1] He was a founding member of the party in 1948 and became the General Secretary after the death of Shibdas Ghosh in 1976.[2] He was also the Editor-in-Chief of the Proletarian Era, the official newspaper of the organization.[3]
During Mukherjee's early political career, he was a leader of the Anushilan Samiti, where he came in close contact of Shibdas Ghosh.[4] He was jailed during the Quit India movement for three years.[5] Mukherjee played a decisive role in developing united left democratic movements in West Bengal. In 1962, he was detained in jail for one year under the National Security Act.[5] Nihar Mukherjee died of cardiac arrest on February 18, 2010 in Kolkata.[6] The party held a massive memorial meeting on March 3, 2010 to mourn the death of Nihar Mukherjee in the Netaji Indoor Stadium, Kolkata.
