CONDOLENCE ON DEMISE OF NISHIKANT WAGHMARE

Dear All,
Its a very sad and shocking news to hear the untimely demise of our beloved brother Nishikant. I had a privilege to know him since 1989 when the Ambedkar Centenary Celebration Committee, UK was set up. He offered his services to the committee. Because of his commitment and dedication, he was elected as the International Coordinator and became a roaming ambassador of Ambedkarism and Buddhism. He was present almost in every function whether it was organised by the Committee in UK, USA or India. In his capacity as an International Coordinator, he helped  to make all the functions a great success. Since then he visited us many times. We will miss him. His loss has created a great vacuum in our movement which can never be filled.

My heart felt condolences to his bereaved family, relatives and friends.

Dear all,

On behalf of Indian Buddhist Society Toronto, Canada, we send our condolences to the family of Late Mr. Nishikant Waghmare and to his dear and near friends. The news of his death took us by shock and during his recovery in the hospital we never thought that he is going to leave us for ever.  His sudden death is not a loss to his family only, but it is a big loss for the community too. He was a staunch Ambedkarite Buddhist who had dedicated himself fulltime for the mission of spreading Buddha's dhamma. He will be missed fro ever and may Lord Buddha shower him with peace!

When I read sad demise of brother Nishikant Waghmare through  ambedkartimes.com, I was shocked. I met him first time at Mumbai when I was there to receive ‘Bheem Ratna Award’ given by the Federation of Ambedkarite and Buddhist Organization UK . In Punjabi circle he was famous as a "WANG-MARE" instead of Waghmare which means when you ask him to come any time and any where in the world, he was used to reach definitely since he was working in Air India and was able to move around easily. He was true follower of Baba Sahib Dr. Ambedkar, Dharma doot of Buddha, great sympathizer, dedicated social worker, best co-coordinator of events and a great friend to all. His contribution to promote Ambedkar-Buddha Mission and empowered dalit movement is unforgettable.

He never compromised with his challenges and continued his hard work to achieve higher goals. I met him fifteen years ago and during this time he organized many great events and was a role model for others.  He was resident of Rajnigandha. Even though Mr. Waghmare is not with us physically but he will remain in our memories for ever.

Lord Buddha said, “Far surpassing the fragrance of sandal or incense or lotus or jasmine, is the fragrance of virtue and faint is this fragrance of incense and sandal but the fragrance of virtue ascends to the highest place.”  

I Harmesh Jassal, on behalf of Dr. Ambedkar Weaker Section Welfare Society Punjab , Buddhist Society Punjab and Dr. Ambedkar Mission Society Punjab pay homage to beloved Mr. Nishikant Waghmare. I join in with his sorrow-stricken family during their difficult time to deal with their greatest loss of Late Mr. Nishikant Waghmare.
