Prakash Karat does have a point but...
by V S on Jun 18, 2008 10:04 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

His points on communalism in hindus and extremism in minorities, 54% malnourishment in children below 5 etc .

It all boils down to corruption culture that congress created in India .

The communists are today party to the congress at the center and have done nothing worthwhile except obstruct India's growth.


They ned to realize that only if India' top 20% population can grow it can pull the other 80% forward.

By giving excuses thatt 60% or 70% or 80% people are poor so we should stop growth Karat and his commie buddies are supporting mediocrity , corruption and red tapism.

We should ask Karat
1. Why there are no large numbers of communists in Islamic countries!! Why as soon as Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in Iran, they rounded up the communists and shot them dead.

2. Do Muslims in Kerala, his native state, vote for his party? If not, why not? Shouldn't he be convincing them to do so first. I think his vote base is largely, Hindu, some Christians.

3. How does he explain the Marad Massacre in his state?

4. Why did communism fail in the Soviet Union and China, so noticeably? Why shd we think his party would be more successful in India?

5. Does he think that Marxism is practised in China today?

All your points are valid but the main point is WHY are hindus voting for commies ?

It is because of the larger issue of illiteracy , poverty and buying pipe dreams of equality that commies have sold these people.

The FUNDAMENTAL question is that today people need education in order to liberate India from within and that can happen if govt. invests in education.
