Here is an obit note from the Indian scholar, Shamsul Islam (who forgot to add Bengali in the list of languages mastered by Shuklaji):
It is unbelievable but a fact now that our beloved thinker IK Shukla Saheb
breathed his last on 17th. All his friends and admirers knew about his deteriorating health problems but his everyday internet postings showed no sign of his sickness. Last posting of his we received was on September 13 in which he protested against the spying (by the IB) of the SAHMAT activites in Delhi.
His death is irreparable loss to the cause of justice, democracy, equality. We have lost a great fighter who waged relentless struggle against the forces of fascism, intolerance and repression not only in India but worldover.
His pen was mightier then sword when it came to challenging the fascist elements. His indepth knowledge of Sanskrit and Buddhist text, his mastery over English and Hindi languages and familiarity with Urdu made him a unique thinker.
The most suitable homage to him would be to preserve his scattered writings and publish the same. Last month he sent a mauniscript to us which contained the Hindi translation of well-known Urdu poet, Habeeb Jalib's poetry against autocracy. We hope to publish the same asap as a tribute to him.
IK Shuklaji is dead but his writings will always be around us to lead us away from darkness of bigotry and intolerance!
Shamsul Islam, Neelima Sharma.
