The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Tapan Kumar Bose, renowned documentary filmmaker, human rights defender, and advocate for justice and peace.
In a condolence message to his family, NSF president Medovi Rhi highlighted Bose’s unwavering support for oppressed communities, particularly his solidarity with the Naga people in their struggle for self-determination. The federation acknowledged his efforts in amplifying marginalized voices and resisting exploitation.
NSF said Bose, known for his fearless advocacy against injustice, violence, and inequality, was a vocal supporter of marginalized communities and their struggles against militarization and exploitation. He was part of a collective of scientists, journalists, and artists who worked to uphold rationalist ideals and challenge oppression in all its forms.
Acknowledging Bose’s unwavering support for the Naga people’s right to self-determination, NSF said he stood by them at a time when many ignored their plight. His solidarity and efforts to amplify the voices of oppressed and to fight for Naga cause earned him deep respect and admiration. “His courage and commitment to justice left an indelible mark on our journey, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come,” NSF stated.
NSF lauded his contributions to human rights and vowed to uphold his legacy of justice and truth. The federation extended prayers for his family and affirmed that his ideals would continue to inspire future generations.
