Yusuf Meherally (1903-1950)
Portrait in India ink by V.N. O'key
Yusuf Meherally was a dauntless freedom fighter, a dynamic youth leader and a dedicated socialist whose socialism had ethical and aesthetic roots because he hated cruelty and ugliness in life. His sensitive mind had a deep concern for the sorrow of man. This could have made him a poet, a philosopher, a man o religion. He was much more fortunate. It turned him into a warm human being, in whom the noble and the beautiful blended.
