Dear Babu... one can just look at the social status of a "coolie" in Kerala to see what commies have done for the state. Even a kid of a daily labour in Kerala study in English medium. For a live example... I come from a poor family in a village of Kerala and I am doing my masters in Australia just by the help of a Bank loan... I was first rejected the loan and it was the local CPM MLA who asked the Bank manager on what basis he rejected my loan.. it was the local communist party which helped me to secure the loan... despite of the fact that my family cannot even give a 50Rs party fund for them!!!
