How do you account for incident sof sati in rajasthan,gujarat and MP? how do you account for caste based killings in UP and Bihar? How do you account for the insane adulation of filmstars and total corruption of politicians down south? or the distrust and hatred of the kashmiris and north eastern people towards rest of India? Buddha babu is a sane man with great ideas and a vision,he may have had problems with implementing them.Mamata is a stupid,mad,narchist who is hell bent upon playing the dirtiest kind of politics.Let the Nandigram issue be resolved without further bloodshed;possible only if both sides show some flexibility. To understand the 30 year stint,take a look at the bengal congress heads;I shudder to think of Somen Mitra or Adhir Chowdhury as CM.Indira Gandhi had an understanding with Jyoti Basu the smae way she had with MGR.She would see to it that Jyoti Basu/MGR will stay in power at the state level by keeping third grade people at the helm of these state units.In return,Jyoti Babu/MGR will support her at the center directly or indirectly.This way,she gets to eleminate challenges coming up from her party and also gets the desired support.If Jyoti Babu died earlier than Mrs.Gandhi,the communists wouldn't have lasted 30 years. and who's bothered with an idiot like Kabir Suman? AP has Gadar,Gujarat has Medha Patkar--even they are called intellectuals? If Naxalism is so stupid and idiotic,why is it now the biggest movement in India which has been termed the biggest security threat to India by our PM?mind you,naxalism in this form is not a contribution of bengal,it has started basically from AP.I am totally anti-naxalite,but if this movement which is actualy beig done by very poor backward people is gaining so much momentum,the conditions must be terrible enough for people to take up arms. It has been proved that communism does not work but the countries that have dismantled communism aren't doing any great even after 20 years.
