I agree with you Joshi. Modi is thousands time better than Buddha, though a little more tolerance on his part was more desirable during the onslaught against one community after Godhra. At the same time, I must tell you Bengal today is worse than Italy under Musolini. Like the corporate system of the great fascist leader, CPM has local committee all over Bengal, including work places. The essential task of the committee is spying not only against all known critique of the party but also against people who do not sympathize the party. Submission of donations and joining the party meeting are the two indicators through which a person's mood towards the party are judged. Once they are confirmed that a person is not a party supporter, they will go all out to humiliate him/her. In the neighborhood communities, they will be allowed to come to the position of power in a puja committee or local club/ resident executive committees etc. For a person who is vocal against the party, they will go for character assassination, spread lies and rumors against the person. If a male person has marital disturbance, 498A with local cpm controlled mahila samity is almost a certainty. In the work places ( particularly in all govt. controlled bodies including schools, colleges and universities), the person is deprived of promotion, denied of leave and subjected to series of mental torture. They are brutal against people who even show remote signals of displeasure aginst their local units.
