Comrade Muzaffar Ahmad (1889-1973) was a revolutionary and pioneer of the communist movement in India. Affectionately called 'Kakababu' (uncle) by party comrades and sympathisers, he was a true communist in every sense of the term. His way of life and functioning was a role model for other communist followers. Kakababu was an extremely thoughtful person. He had deep knowledge in various subjects, particularly he had an intense attraction towards classical literature. He used to study for about 7 to 8 hours every day. He had huge collection of books. Even he used to get books from abroad. The lions share of his collection of books and old documents are preserved in Muzaffar Ahmad Pathagar(library) at GANASHAKTI BHAVAN, 74A, A. J. C. Bose Road, Kolkata-700016.
