- I do remember him saying that he didn’t believe in any "isms". To young left-wing activists fired by revolutionary zeal, this statement of his did not make a particularly positive impression. He did not justify his actions merely on the basis that they were based on tradition – as in "Congress Tradition". He showed open intolerance for backward cultural and religious traditions. Actually, Ram Saloojee was way ahead of his time. He was a free-thinking activist at a time of quite moribund ideological dogmatism... He was the real Lenz pioneer of what we later called the "mass approach". He understood the need for mass mobilisation as the only means of making progress. He was of the view that mass action and mass organisation were far more effective than conspiracy. He did not elevate the worship of ideas above working among the masses... Comrade Ram Saloojee epitomised the activist of the United Democratic Front and the Mass Democratic Movement. (en)
