'''Bhalchandra Trimbak Ranadive''' (19 December 1904 – 6 April 1990), popularly known as '''BTR''' was an [[India]]n [[communist]] politician and trade union leader.

[[File:Akg-btr.gif|thumb|left|140px|BTR (right) with [[A. K. Gopalan|AKG]]]]
[[File:Kerala2006 (12).JPG|thumb|left|170px|BTR memorial in [[Allepey]]]]BTR completed his studies in 1927, obtaining an M.A. degree with distinction. In 1928 he joined the clandestine [[Communist Party of India]]. In the same year he became a major leader of the [[All India Trade Union Congress]] in [[Bombay]]. He was active with the [[Girini Kamgar Union]] of the textile workers in [[Bombay]] and with the struggles of the railway workers. He became the secretary of the GIP Railwaymen’s Union. In 1939, he married Vimal, a trade union activist.

In 1943 he was elected to the central committee of the party. In February 1946 BTR played a major role in organizing a general strike in support of the [[The Royal Indian Navy Mutiny|Naval ratings revolt]].

At its [[Second Party Congress of the Communist Party of India|2nd Party Congress]] held in [[Calcutta]] in February, 1948 the party elected BTR in place of [[P.C. Joshi]] as its general secretary.<ref>Chandra, Bipan & others (2000). ''India after Independence 1947-2000'', New Delhi: Penguin, {{ISBN|0-14-027825-7}}, p.204</ref> BTR was the general secretary of CPI 1948-1950. During that period the party was engaged in [[revolutionary]] uprisings, such as the [[Telangana armed struggle]]. In 1950 BTR was deposed, and denounced by the party as a "left adventurist".

In 1956, at the 4th Party Congress in [[Palghat]] BTR was again included in the Central Committee. He became a leading figure of the leftist section of the CC.

[[File:Kerala2006 (2).JPG|thumb|left|BTR Bhavan, Kerala]]At the time of the [[Sino-Indian War|Indo-China border conflict]] in 1962, BTR was one of many prominent communist leaders jailed by the government. In 1964 he became one of the main leaders of [[Communist Party of India (Marxist)]].

At the founding conference of the [[Centre of Indian Trade Unions]] in [[Calcutta]] May 28–31 1970, BTR was elected president. The central building of [[Centre of Indian Trade Unions|CITU]] in [[New Delhi]] is named after him, ''[[BTR Bhavan]]''.

He was elder brother of [[Ahilya Rangnekar]], a CPI-M leader and 6th Lok Sabha member from [[Mumbai North Central (Lok Sabha constituency)]]. They belonged to a Marathi [[Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu]](CKP) family but BTR, a brilliant student, would teach Dalit students in his spare time.
