【新闻摘要】
印度共产党"活化石"VS阿丘塔南丹以101岁高龄辞世，喀拉拉邦万人空巷送别这位"草根传奇"。这位小学辍学的共产主义战士，年轻时在警察局里挨过揍、蹲过牢，中年时组织农业工人起义，晚年三度担任邦反对党领袖，最终活成了印度左翼运动的"人形教科书"。最搞笑的是，他当年在棕绳厂打工时加入共产党，结果现在连政敌——国大党前首席部长安东尼都承认，自己学生时代曾蹲在稻田边等听他演讲！虽然没像伦敦留学的西孟加拉邦老战友乔蒂·巴苏那样长期掌权，但阿丘塔南丹硬是靠着街头斗争，把自己活成了喀拉拉版的"切·格瓦拉"。现在，这位睡过地下、挨过酷刑、坐过五年牢的老革命，终于能永远安息在家乡阿拉普扎的棕榈树下了——带着全套邦级国葬待遇。

India is bidding farewell to communist stalwart VS Achuthanandan, whose funeral with full state honours will be held Wednesday in his native Alappuzha district. The 101-year-old, who died Monday after a cardiac arrest last month, was a founding member of India's largest communist party and three-time opposition leader in Kerala state. Tens of thousands have flooded the streets to honour the man who rose from childhood poverty and police torture to become one of Kerala's most revered politicians.
印度正在告别共产党中坚VS阿丘塔南丹，他将于周三在家乡阿拉普扎地区举行邦级国葬。这位上月心脏骤停后于周一去世的101岁老人，是印度最大共产党的创始成员，并三度担任喀拉拉邦反对党领袖。数万人涌上街头致敬这位从童年贫困和警察酷刑中崛起、成为喀拉拉邦最受尊敬政治家之一的伟人。
"Fighting for the oppressed defined his life," CPI(M) General Secretary MA Baby wrote in tribute, calling Achuthanandan"the epitome of struggle." Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, also from the CPI(M), hailed him as an"inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration." Though less internationally known than London-educated comrade Jyoti Basu - West Bengal's longtime chief minister - Achuthanandan's grassroots activism made him a folk hero. While Basu governed, Achuthanandan agitated, championing workers' rights from protest lines.
"为被压迫者而战定义了他的一生，"印度共产党（马克思主义）总书记MA巴比在悼词中写道，称阿丘塔南丹为"斗争的化身"。同样来自印共（马）的喀拉拉邦首席部长皮纳拉伊·维贾扬称赞他是"取之不尽的灵感源泉"。虽然国际知名度不如伦敦留学的同志乔蒂·巴苏（西孟加拉邦长期首席部长），但阿丘塔南丹的草根行动主义使他成为民间英雄。巴苏执政时，阿丘塔南丹则在抗议前线为工人权利奔走。

**From coir factory to communist vanguard**
从棕绳厂到共产主义先锋
Orphaned young - mother dead at four, father at eleven - Achuthanandan left school to work in a coir factory. By 17, he'd joined the undivided Communist Party, organizing farmhands in British-era Travancore. Even political rivals admired his oratory; Congress leader AK Antony recalled skipping school in the 1960s to hear him speak in paddy fields. The Hindu quoted Antony calling Achuthanandan's leadership of the 1946 Kuttanad bonded laborers' revolt"unequalled in history," referencing the bloodshed (hundreds of communists reportedly killed) and torture he endured during years underground and in jail.
年幼成为孤儿——母亲四岁去世，父亲十一岁去世——阿丘塔南丹辍学去棕绳厂工作。17岁时，他加入了未分裂的共产党，在英国统治时期的特拉凡科组织农场工人。甚至政敌也钦佩他的口才；国大党领袖AK安东尼回忆1960年代逃学去稻田听他演讲。《印度教徒报》援引安东尼的话，称阿丘塔南丹1946年领导库塔纳德契约劳工起义"历史上无与伦比"，提到了他在地下活动和监狱岁月中经历的流血（据报道数百名共产党人被杀）和酷刑。

**Legacy of resistance**
抵抗的遗产
Achuthanandan served as Kerala's chief minister (2006-11), opposition leader (three terms), and CPI(M) Politburo member (23 years). But his true legacy lies in street politics - from leading nurses' strikes to fighting for fisherfolk rights. Even at 90, he was marching for farmers displaced by an airport project. Unlike the suit-clad Basu, Achuthanandan favored simple white mundu (dhoti) and shirts, his signature thick-framed glasses becoming a symbol of leftist integrity. As tributes pour in from across India's political spectrum, one thing is clear: the firebrand who once said"capitalism smells like rotting fish" has left an indelible mark on Kerala's soul.
阿丘塔南丹曾担任喀拉拉邦首席部长（2006-11年）、反对党领袖（三届）和印共（马）政治局成员（23年）。但他真正的遗产在于街头政治——从领导护士罢工到为渔民权利而战。甚至90岁时，他还在为机场项目流离失所的农民游行。与穿西装的巴苏不同，阿丘塔南丹喜欢朴素的白蒙杜（腰布）和衬衫，他标志性的厚框眼镜成为左派正直的象征。随着印度政界各方的悼念纷至沓来，有一点很明确：这位曾称"资本主义闻起来像腐烂的鱼"的激进分子，在喀拉拉邦的灵魂上留下了不可磨灭的印记。
