The communist party rooted in the failed socialist idelogy is what pulling the country behind. India was supportive to socialist ideology for four decades, but it brought no good to India or the countries following socialist ideology. Fellow nations in USSR plunged to povertyafter the USSR split; China suffered four decades of poverty before it turned to pseudo-capiatlism masked in communist veil. The whole generation of people from the 'Socialist India' became suspiscious to 'Capitalist US' naturally. Though the educated India kept up with the social-economic-political changes in the world and realised the importance of market driven free economy for growth of India, the poor and uneducated masses are still rooted to socialist agenda and a closed economy. Hence they are confused and undecided over the shift in India's ideology, foreign policy and the consequent improving relations with US/EU.
It is this dilemma of poor and uneducated people that the left parties take advantage of to misguide them. They don't care about nation's interest but rather follow selfish policies to benefit themselves. However this is natural in politics of most democratic countries and will continue to happen unless something is done to create awareness among socialist generation of India.
