"Makhan Singh saw class divisions and class struggles as the primary aspects of resistance to colonialism and to ensuring that the interests of workers, peasants and people of Kenya were in the forefront of an independent country. This was a turning point in the struggle for liberation in Kenya, Colonialism had succeeded in previous periods to divide people's struggles along tribal or racial or regional levels, thereby dividing forces of resistance. Makhan Singh was able to see through such divisive tactics. He saw the struggle as a class struggle and emphasised the need to politicise the working class, unite them with other progressive classes and wage a struggle that would remove the causes of poverty and injustice from the country." That struggle has not been won. That is why Makhan Singh's teaching and experience is relevant today.
