The first May Day celebration in India was organised in Madras by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan on May 1, 1923. This was also the first time the red flag was used in India. The party leader Singaravelu Chettiar made arrangements to celebrate May Day in two places in 1923. One meeting was held at the beach opposite to the Madras High Court; the other meeting was held at the Triplicane beach. The Hindu newspaper, published from Madras reported:
“The Labour Kisan party has introduced May Day celebrations in Chennai. Comrade Singaravelar presided over the meeting. A resolution was passed stating that the government should declare May Day as a holiday. The president of the party explained the non-violent principles of the party. There was a request for financial aid. It was emphasized that workers of the world must unite to achieve independence. “(Wikepedia Source)

Great work, Jack. Inshallah, you will journey far and wide !
Beautiful paintings!
Nice to see you here! Its all thanks to Diego Rivera, balkan.
I love this paintings. I just says so much about the Latin American culture that Diego Rivera tries to convey. In this first painting it looks really folkloric and beautiful. The second painting you could see the pain that men are going through. The man in the middle in white he looks a representation of Jesus, in other words the savor of the people who are enslaved working for the rich. That’s why Diego Rivera has been controversial in his paintings but have never been scare to show his political view in paintings and murals.
well said, Angelica!
