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.
