In the eternal fight between the haves and have-nots, the haves seem to have upper hand, all the time. Though there have been instances when the proletrait seem to have its just hands on the power, but have lost grip soon.... Perhaps man is too selfish a creature.... The attitude changes with situation and times.... Its sad that martyrs like Che and Bhagat Singh have become only fashion statements... Majority of the world population still lives in penury because CHEs and BHAGAT SINGHs have been cleverly eliminated, not just from the face of the world, but also from the minds of those, for whom such greats laid down their lives.... Long live the thoughts of Che and Bhagat !...Atleast the spark should remain alive... May be one day it becomes a bonfire !

You can not compare Bhagatsingh with Che,bhagat is more than god to me, He would have never done things che did after getting power. One's character is not what he does when he has no power, but it is what he does when he has power.

Ameya, its pleasant to hear about your feelings for Bhagat Singh. Yes, his philosophy needs to be revived, and for that admirers like u have to be there. Yes, we can not compare Bhagat and Che; since there can never be comparison between two revolutionaries. But, if you study Che (without any bias), you will see a lot of similarities between Che and Bhagat. For instance, both stood for peasentry and the oppresses, both fought against imperial powers, both denounced the authority of God, and both though beyond the boundaries of state, when it came to Human welfare. Both of them were creative writers, both were socialist thinkers, and both had an unfearful attitude towards sacrifice of life. Its just a way of looking. The differences are there, but more than that are the similarities. Yes, hundreds of people were executed on orders of Che; but then evil and bad things have to be eliminated. Che did what China is doing today. China executes 5000 people annually. And see, where China is heading towards. And that is imperative, as unwanted and undesirable elements need to be annihilated, along with positive strides made forward. Those killed on orders of Che were rapists, looters and cruel money lenders.And Che stands justified in his act.

Kind of sad you consider Che a 'martyr', even heroic. If you talked to the families of those he massacred i'm sure they would think differently. He relished killing captured soldiers from the other side, often shooting prisoners that he had wounded first (so they wouldn't go anywhere)Never mind that none of them were even given a trial- innocents merely suspected of being in league with the enemy were also shot and killed. Che even got their families to come and watch. Not so heroic now huh?
PS: Last time I checked Cuba (that iconic communist state ) is wallowing in poverty, while a tiny, barren (but strongly capitalist) island like Hong Kong has left it in the dust. Real shame how you keep lying to yourself to protect the communists.

Mr. Sahil , be ashamed of yourself for lying to the public with ur useless, trash scrap. Get your facts right. Dont fabricate fiction by sitting before ur computer.... You say %u201CCuba (that iconic communist state ) is wallowing in poverty%u201D. The statement is as ridiculous as ur attitude. Before opening your mouth, please do try to have a bit of knowledge regarding the subject.

Sahil, BIG SHAME on you ! It is really pathetic that people having myopic vision like you, weave stories at your places and post them online with authority. Before commenting on Che, you should better have checked his philosophy. Yes, hundreds of people were executed on orders of Che; but then evil and bad things have to be eliminated. Che did what China is doing today... China executes 5000 people annually. And see, where China is heading towards%u2026. And that is imperative, as unwanted and undesirable elements need to be annihilated, along with positive strides made forward... Those killed on orders of Che were rapists, looters and cruel money lenders..... And Che stands justified in his act. What do u know about Cuba? Huh? %u2026Yes, it is poor %u2026..and that poverty has been not an outcome of Castro%u2019s or Che%u2019s legacy; but because of the evils designs of US and its allies in blocking its development. As far as human development index is concerned, Cuba is much better than majority of nations across. There is one doctor per 6 people over there (whereas medical care is a problem in countries like US, also%u2026. In India, patients have died in premises of AIIMS- the hub of medical provisions in India, because of lack of doctors/medicine/attention).

I agree with you Lally..... We need a "Che" in India. We need a "Che" who will shoot the corrupt and rape the rapists.
