who is this CPM? What is the percentage of votes received by them at national level? Do they win elections in West Bengal ( including the constituency of Somanath Chatterjee, who thinks he is above law) without importing bogus voters from Bangladesh? How Muslim League , open only for Muslims is secular to them and not BJP ? Is communism is valid in its present form in any other country in the world? Is it not a dead and rotting ideology? Do they support India if China takes away Arunachal Pradesh? Did not they have hand in the collapse the only Hindu monarchy in the world and handing over that ancient country to Chinese stooges? Let them bark- they will be bitten at the polls. Yadubhanu
Most of the Indian people hopes secularism will alive. Congress must work to keep secularism. Left gets people's support, because it works for people. Communalism is the worst threat for our country today.

Communism is the worst threat for our country
Neither does it encourage religious pluralism which most parties do due to its atheist nature. It is dead against all religions which have sprouted on Indian soil and wants to stand Indian history on its head. Nor does it provide any economic incentives for entrepreneurs and inventors. It does not bind the Nation state and its peoples in a National Community. Nor does it serve the workers and peasants. It only seeks to make serfs out them and chain them to its fraudulent ideal by preaching class hatred against the upper classes and internationalism.
A Homegrown Socialitic party with INDIAN NATIONALISM as its vanguard would serve the workers and peasants of our country equally well and increase their productivity and that of the nation while providing them with excellent standards of living while at the same time binding them in a NATIONAL COMMUNITY which can thwart any aggression. The problem with marxists in any country where they are not in power is that they are always under the control of Politburos of those mega marxist states where marxism succeeded in taking control many years ago.
Democratic Kampuchea and North Korea took/take their orders from china Cuba and Eastern Europe was entirely under the thumb of the USSR.
Nationalism in these lesser countries and a sense of pride was never allowed to develop.
We INDIANS are a proud people. We well never accept being a junior partner to a state like china just because the Marxists want it that way.
An ideology that has many inherent contradictions and totally alien to the culture and history of this country cannot flourish for a long time. It has to go. The process of globalisation and increasing literacy rate are going to accelerate the process of disintegration of a 'closed ideology'. Now we have more persons knowing about the intricracy of market mechanism than those knowing about controlled economy. Further, the muslims (left vote bank) so far depending upon them to get 'promised moon under sun' are becoming disillusioned. The recent gathering at Deoband is a warning bell to 'psudo secularists'. Muslim ulema wants direct negotiation with BJP aka Mayawati. Not surprising if we find a pan-Indian muslim party in this very general election with an explicit label. If this plan takes shape, the future of CPM (the only force within left) is sealed. Of course they may adopt Prachand's (infamous nepali) route to reach Lal Quila.

But a pan ndia party with real base will never materialize as Muslims knowing the strengths and limitations of their demography are adept at tactical voting.
Satyarthi: In foreseeable future, there will be no national level muslim party. Because, that will wipe out Congress, CPIM, and allow massive rallying point to BJP.
If there is a Muslim League today standing in UP election, BJP will sweep the election.
MUSLIMS KNOW THIS. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE Supporting psuedos now. However, if they had demography advantage, they would NOT have done that.

Lots of people say many things. Desai is a Modi admirer and Guju himself

He was very candid. He said, you have rights to call Modi facist, and he himself calls him so. But don't put words in his mouth as usually done by media.
