Tribute to Thakreji

We had a long association with the BJP veteran Kushabhau Thakre. He always inspired us since early Sixties in Ujjain. He was a real Gandhian who never ran before any post or materialistic gains. Besides, his memories he has left behind just a few books and a lot to learn from him. We pray that his soul should rest in peace.
