Comrade Dina JI was a cobbler and made shoes. His income was meagre and his family was always in want but despite this he was always discharged his Party responsibilities with great dedication. He was always active in struggles, sang revolutionary and peoples songs, and was a good campaigner. He organised hand-cart and footpath vendors, rickshaw pullers, and cobblers in the city.
