The author has written that left parties have changed their pro Soviet or pro China stand to a pro India one since 1960s onwards. I hope the author remembers the reason for division of communist party into CPI and CPI-M based upon their loyalty to either Soviet Union or China, respectively. Or later support by CPI to emergency during Indira regime because Soviets instructed them so. Even more recently the left parties used their clout in a port project in Andhra Pradesh. Govt of India had refused the work permits to 1000 China nationals, working for a Chinese company, citing India has enough qualified workforce. The left parties using their collective clout forced Govt of India (of course this UPA govt)to issue them the work permits. I am not a supporter of any party, but there is one party for which I have a pathological hatred (you may refer me to a good psychiatrist)and they are communists. I really support their philosophy and in fact was a member of AISA. But these guys are good for nothing wannabes concerned about China (Soviet is no there so they do not have other choice) more than that for India. You may say anything good about left parties and I will accept it (We have freedom expression in India!!!!), but please do not call them nationalists. We cannot group these clowns together with the likes of Bhagat Singh, Ashfaque Ulla Khan, Azad, Rajguru and others. It will tantamount to calling these freedom fighters as traitors.
