This is a really sad story and heart breaking at the same time. I couldn’t read to the end as it was too painful.

You have left a significant mark on our lives. He wasn’t just a born story teller but also a guide, philosopher and a beautiful human being. Life is not the same without your presence. Hope that you are in a better place where there is peace and we hope to reunite with you very soon. Your memories will be part of us every day. Just wanted to say thank you for teaching us to live life with ambitions, honesty and love..and to keep going through every obstacle. Our love and thoughts will always be with you.

Got to know him from my numerous visits to the H&S. The place wont be the same.

Sympathies to his family.

He was a legend.

I had heard about Muktha from an english friend, and in 2013 on a ‘Jack the ripper’ walk, we saw the restaurant. What a terrible life the migrants had in those early days. Surprised they stayed!!

My ancestors were in the Richmond/Kingston on Thames area, and I love London and all its environs.

I hope that Muktha’s family are coping with his loss, and my sympathies are with them.

There is a tremendous amount of information on http://www.swadhinata.org. Go to oral histories for dozens of personal accounts like this.

Just to have known this man’s smile, is worth such alot.

An extremely sad time for Muktha’s family but I hope his smile will bring great peace to them.
