A few hundred years ago, thieves, rapists, dacoits etc. spread a rumour against Marie Antionette of France (that she had said that if people can't get bread to eat they should eat cake). That rumour sparked of a revolution catapulting the thieves, rapists, dacoits rightfully serving their sentence in the Bastille prison to the position of rulers and intelectual guides of society. Since then they have unleashed the products of their intellectual diarhoea onto the hapless human race. These products such as commie-ism, fascisim, nihilism, surrealism, existentialism (and-God-knows-what-else-ism) are all result of their rotten reductionist method of thinking. Time is running out for humanity to re-establish their touch with their true selves, to rededicate themselves to the real purpose of human life, to realize that human life is not solely for the purpose of grabbing and consuming the earth's resources (or 'means of production' as Mahamaharshi Karl Marx would have us believe). Commies, capitalists, nihilists, extremists belonging to all religious groups, please wake up. You have nothing to lose but your ideological delusions. Wake up fast, otherwise, the polar ice-caps have already started melting. If we don't stop fighting over resources, the resources themselves would drown in the ocean. I am reminded of the magic word 'Dharma' which means something that holds this world together. As a child or youngster, I used to wonder why does the world need to be 'held' together. Since the world has abandoned Dharma and has been following the path of a-Dharma it has reached this brink of abyss. . . . . Perhaps these are last and final set of calls for mankind to roll-back the monstrosities which we cherish as modernities.

Good one - all need to think and ponder. But then, who is going to listen? This is a wilderness, and no sane thinking will get the attention it deserves!

Buddhadeb is not a communist and comparing communism with fascism is a farce. Recently, CPI(Maoist) announced open struggle against pseudo-communist Buddhadeb. Police also found guns and explosives belonging to Maoists near Nandigram. It is shame on you to make meaningless comparisions.

Er, to reduce the origins of the French revolution to a rumour spread against Marie Antoinnete shows a rading of history so simplistic that it sounds childish. Robespierre may have been a tyrant but Voltaire, Rousseau and Montasque were not dacoits or murderers let alone any of the other epithets directed against them. Even leaving aside the gifts of parliamentary democracy and human rights the world got as fruits of the revolution I cannot understand how the author traces existentialsim, nihilism and capitalsim to the French Revolution.
