A meeting of Trotskyists and their sympathisers was held in Bombay on Sunday, January 28th, 1962 to mourn the death of Comrade Natalia Trotsky. Those present included members of the Revolutionary Communist Party of India and the Revolutionary Socialist Party of India. The two parties have forged a united front in Bombay with the object of striving for the unificiation of marxist forces in India. Comrade C.G. Shah, a veteran marxist and one of the founders of the Communist movement in India presided. The following resolution was adopted by the meeting after several speakers referred to the contributions of Natalia to the revolutionary socialist movement:
"This meeting of Trotskyists in Bombay and the sympathisers of the International Trotskyist movement expresses its profound grief at the sad demise of Natalia Trotsky, the wife of Leon Trotsky.
"On the eve of her death, she demanded from the Soviet Government the political rehabilitation of Trotsky, her husband who campaigned against the Soviet bureaucracy, the stalinist distortion of marxism-leninism and betrayal of world revolution. Her allegiance to world communism and international class struggle transcended her personal feelings which were poignantly wounded by the cowardly murder of her son, her husband and suicide of her daughter. We, the Trotskyists, the sympathisers of the Trotskyist movement will transform our profound grief at the death of this heroic proletarian revolutionary into an iron determination to work more strenuously for the overthrow of our class enemy, the world bourgeoisie and destroying stalinism which is the principal obstacle to that historic objective. While mourning the death of comrade Natalia, we renew our pledge to dedicate ourselves, with reinforced will and determination, to complete the unifinished task of world socialist revolution which was so dear to Trotsky and the heroic band of Trotskyists in which Natalia Trotsky finds a prominent place."
