He was deeply involved with "Kala Pathaks" or cultural troupes, most notably the Lal Bawta Kala Pathak (Red Flag Cultural Troupe). These troupes performed dramas (Loknatya), narrated stories (including Powadas - ballads), and used music and performance (which Batawani can relate to) as vehicles for spreading awareness about social injustices, caste oppression, and Communist ideals. While drama and storytelling were specific forms, Kala Pathak represents the organized method through which he delivered these.
Annabhau Sathe used the following means to spread the Communist Ideology.
