Asharaf

Com Asharaf is the victim of dagger politics of right wing student organizations of Kerala. He won the hearts of students by winning the college union election for the post of general captain, in the Thalassery Brennen College of Kannur district, and thus became a sore in the eye for the right wing politicians. His colleagues named him the "prince of play grounds". Being a general captain he gave wings to the sports dreams of his college. His victory made the opponents panicky. From his early childhood he was an active worker in the progressive movements. During his college days he became an active worker of SFI. His ability to bring in politics even in his casual talk taught his friends the first lessons of being a revolutionary. On 10th December 1973 KSU criminals stabbed Com Asharaf in front of the Malayalam department of his college. He was taken to the hospital immediately by his comrades. But after a long struggle for life he breathed his last on 5th March 1974. He was the son of Saitharppalli Mammu and Fathima.
