S. K. Limaye
Indian trade unionist
Shripad Krishna Limaye (born 8 December 1909, date of death unknown) was an Indian politician and trade unionist. Limaye served as a member of the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Indian parliament) from Maharashtra in the 1960s.
Communist Party cadre
Limaye was engaged in the struggle for Indian independence, becoming politically active in 1935. In that year he joined the Communist Party of India. He became the foremost leader of the party in Poona, where he recruited and trained many key cadres for the party. Limaye was seen as being close to S.A. Dange. However in 1942 he and his group of followers were expelled from the party. The rationale behind the expulsion was Limaye's opposition to support to the British war effort.
Navajivan and Lal Nishan
At the time of the expulsion, Limaye's group counted around 200 men. In 1943 Limaye's group founded the Navjivan Sangathana ('New Life Organization').
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “S. K. Limaye” as indian trade unionist. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as indian trade unionist. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16078979. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1909, 1935, 1942 and 1943.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
