Gulshan Paroothi-Gwalior
- Tribute to Mama Tare
Gwalior. Late Ramakant Shankar Tare alias Mama Tare’s life was dedicated to a divine cause. Even amidst adversity and adversity, he remained engaged in the work of the Sangh like a rock. Till the last moment, he lived for the Sangh ideology. Even when his body stopped supporting him, he used to sit on a chair during the branch and pray in a state of Pranam. His life was full of Sangh.
At the last moment, he had no worldly desire left, rather he had a desire to see the centenary year of the Sangh. We believe that he will be reborn again and will not only see the centenary year of the Sangh but will also see the work of the Sangh, especially the dream of Ramrajya, coming true. This is not the time to mourn but to take inspiration from his life.
These views were expressed by the speakers in the tribute meeting of Shri Ramakant Shankar Tare alias Mama Tare, father of retired teacher Shri Anil Tare and Swadesh’s group editor Shri Atul Tare. The dignitaries of the city paid their tributes in the tribute meeting held on Sunday at Madhav Mangalam Palace in Jayendraganj.

Therefore, he was like our senior. His warmth was not only felt by us but every volunteer who came in contact with him. The Sangh was omnipresent in his life. He did not like to hear even a single word against the Sangh. He behaved like a volunteer throughout his life. His attitude towards the loyal and responsible volunteers of the Sangh was always of respect.
Former MP Vivek Shejwalkar, while paying tribute to Mama Tare, said that he was a dedicated volunteer. His behavior with people was cordial. BJP’s state minister Lokendra Parashar said that the Sangh was present in every pore of Mama Tare. He used to give special emphasis on honesty and transparency.
