occasion to work with her closely during the Women’s International Year in 1975
when
she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member in charge of
publicity.
Representatives
from different political parties and women’s organizations were on the
committee
and though the leftists claimed a sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna
encouraged
and treated all members alike. It was not her political affiliations or her
involvement
in a particular cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter
honesty
in
public life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her
an adorable
person.
She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in the land; yet her
human
spirit
prompted her to work in the worst of slums to offer succour to the poor and the
exploited.

later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali’s health
began to
deteriorate.
Though her mind remained alert, she could not actively take up her pet causes –
action
for women’s advancement, planning for economic justice, role of media,
reaffirmation
of
values in public affairs etc. Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna
who had
drawn
sustenance from common people, from her involvement in public life, became a

person.
