The greatest revolutionary!

This month marks the 40th death anniversary of probably one of the greatest revolutionaries, anti-imperialist-- none other than Ernesto Che Guevara. October 9th, 1967, was the day when this great man was killed by the CIA-backed Bolivian government. He might have died that day, but his deeds will forever be remembered and he has now become a symbol of revolution. People associate the name of Guevara with revolution. The most important initiative taken by Che was that he fought against American Imperialism and in the present day world, America seems to be dictating the terms in many developing countries and also in many important world issues even if their judgment and assessment are mostly self-centered. So this was a man who fought against injustice, against America's ever commanding attitude. Today, his famous image produced by Fitzpatrick, stands imprinted on countless T-shirts, wrappers, cigars, walls etc but the important thing is that people who are buying such products (which have his image imprinted on them), must realise who Guevara actually was. They must know the ideals he fought for and they must know that this was a man who managed to overthrow the cruel dictator Batista and save Cuba from America's grip. Hope the people who oppose Che and term him as a cold-blooded murderer, will one day realise the true intentions that he had.
