If India had a Marxist PM
by labrea on Mar 19, 2006 09:48 AM

I wouldn't rush have a funeral for the Indian Marxists as yet; there are still stupid, naieve and unrepentent millions,the true believers, who still toe the Marxist line, their utopian world at hand, if only thier nemesis, the 'communal forces' can be destroyed, they will vault into power and redeem India from the clutches of that most evil of evils, capitalism, and that 'Great Satan' Uncle Sam. Yessir, if they can just hold on some more, and with the help of their like-minded comrades like Kim 2, Chavez, Castro et al, they can take over and make the world once more safe for communism - what heroes! Don't you just love these comrades - it's enough to make one see red.

It is a truly sensational article. Unfortunately, only educated people of India can understand the tricks played by marxists...Look at the two states (Bengal n Kerala) ruled by Marxists! If CPI comes to power at the centre, our position will be no different to the one faced by the current Iranians.

I have a lot of respect for Amulya Ganguli, but I dont think that he is at his best at satire. I found the whole piece hackneyed and cliched.

Hey,
The india is been ruled by congrees for more than 50 years and BJP and Jansangh for the rest of the years.
After reading ur article, i felt that Inda is ruled by Left till 1990. Check out the facts and check out other details before making any utopian comments.

Go and see the places where Marxists are ruling and see the financial equalities among the natives.
They may not support tatas,birlas,ambanis and other individuals to accumulate wealth. Thats true .

To put in other way, Indians are very reluctant to changes and they are orthodox. The popoulation in india is dragging us behind. Rich is becoming rich and poor is becoming poorer. Education system is becoming a matter of business. Check out the wealth devide between urban and Rural and see how the new economic reforms are dividing the people.

Instead of blaming the left, first blame the octogenarial indian politicians who dont want to change and blame it on the the govt who ruled india since independence.

Good satire.....

I wish these communist should realize that following bookish principles will not help. In the changed world we can achieve development by adopting to the neocapitalist approach which gives equal opportunity to all in wealth generation. Mocking the USSR will prove no intelligence especially when we know that its no more a super power.And present day Russia is not a Communist nation!!Today China is a front runner in the development because it allowed the FDI's way back in 70's. I hope these so called "pro-poor" communist realise that poverty alleviation can not be achieved by lobbying and bullying the poor, but by providing enough opportunities and good infrastructure.

Amulya,

Well, I smell good about of neo-liberalism in your article.

Have you ever been poor? Looked up for a meal?

You would not know what poverty means and the proletarians sufferings either.

This is something you will NEVER undertand as you were born rich and die rich... no use in explaining this to you... Live richly!!!

Taking the argument to its logical conclusion, we have to say that LIKE USSR, INDIA TOO WOULD HAVE IMPLODED.
