I wonder why we have to tolerate all the nonsense this idiot dishes out in the name of analysis. A commie himself, if he has the courage, he should enter public life and try to do some good for the nation. Where was this mad man when Nandigram happened? Before attacking journalists and experts, he should go check his level of sanity. His language is no difeerent from one of his other mad comrades D Raja (whose dirty face keeps popping up on the TV)
The author's claim that communists%u2019' as the custodian of highest per capita of brainpower is a poor joke! It is because of these custodians of brainpower who made Kerala a consumer state. It was this group of scoundrel spread riots and destruction of public services systems in the name of communism. Singur etc was another episode of this inherent barbarism of the commusts.
This author forgets that an accidental increase of communist MPs Kerala brought the left to the centre of power. Everybody knows the %u201Cideological%u201D leaning of Indian communists to China. Communists are not denying it but you?
Left is not a holy cow. Everyone knows your enthusiasm in criticizing and using base language towards one of the major political party and its affiliated organizations on ground of noncompliance to secularism. We could not see any %u201Ctolerance%u201D neither from your pet called communists nor from you.
You are one of the persons who hate India to be a strong nation. So is your thoughts reflected in your articles. This particular article is no difference.
Praful's remark "Whatever one's opinion of the Left, it's undeniable that it represents the most important current driven by ideology and principle in Indian politics, which perhaps concentrates more brainpower per capita than any other party" reeks of patronism. The left, having secured just around 10% of the seats in the Lok Sabha is holding the country to ransom and trying to drive it through the principles that do not consitute a popular vote. Let them do what they want when the enjoy true majority and I pray to anyone who grants wishes so that I never see such a day in my life.

Brain Power ? What Brain Power ? Brain Power for Thuggery and MURDER on a mega scale: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=48AFA40E258C1063
A very apt and timely article to call the bluff of Manmohan Singh and his crony advisers. They are the one putting India into a path of great danger and subservience. The US govt has followed a foreign policy which has the worst track record in modern history in promoting democracy or justice. Actually its abuse of power in achieving its imperial ambitions is no secret. Where possible by use of force (eg Iraq), and in many cases, by directly or indirectly (via sponsoring rebel groups) toppling democratically elected govts (eg, many latin american countries) and install puppet dictators (Saddam inclusive). Whereever explicit coercion is not possible, use of carrots (like nuclear deal to India); notice how they start showing the stick when India tries to follow an independent foreign policy vis-a-vis Iran. Domination of the world by making most countries (incl ours) its client state is the grand strategy for maintaining its hegemony.

This is what ProFool wrote in a China based opinion journal. There, as expected, the noted expert of all things blames everyone of nuclear nationalism...which is inherently bad for a leftist since that is a further indication of reducing of China's stranglehold on India's strategic option.
Dear Praful, Who are you to complain about McCarthyism? It is always the left which has practiced this terror tactic, never allowing other views to be aired. Now that the shoe is on other foot, you are crying? Anyway, except in some so called left leaning circles what is your credibility? And as for charges of Indian left being stooges of China, it is so transparent that their ranting is helping China and it does not need any further proof.
The honour of 'more loyal then the Queen' must go to Desi socialists / communist class. Chinese have long moved from being a Socialist paradise to a system of having a primitive form of Capitalistic Society (of Robber baron era) combined with a Stalinist Political system; while their local apologists continue to do their job of dragging India down by rigorously opposing every instance of economic liberalization & it's attempts to break out of diplomatic straitjackets. maybe they can occupy the rooftop of parliament and start screaming Long Live Ch Mao ( even though he's dead and discredited in his home...
Praful Bidwai has done his duty of once more proving left is right and everyone else is wrong. Afterall what can be expected from life long left leaning journalist whose wisdom (!) could have driven country to ruins had it been heeded . But one mystery remains : Why are all these guys pro-Chinese ?
