Communism in India is in an advanced state of decay. With all due respect to powerful leaders such as Sitaram Yechury and the likes, communism in India will only decay further. Every political party in the world has learned to progress with the times. But the communists in this country prefer to go back in time and clutch older values close to their heart.
I used to be a great fan of communism. The values and considerate social aspects of its politics were enduring and enigmatic. But not anymore. By not progressing with the times and holding on to outdated values, communism in India is killing itself. One example that shows this
general suicide of the parties is when computers where introduced into Kerala – a southern state of India under the Leftist rule. When computers were introduced, the party frivolously objected saying that many people will lose their jobs to these machines called computers. And many party officials proceeded to destroy computers in the government offices and other establishments! And look how that is changing India for the better today.
Similarly, the US n-deal deserves mention. Moreover, the parliament is being continuously brought to a standstill by these criminals of politics and important bills (some that might even take precedence of the US n-deal) are starting to rust in the parliament. What good can this bring to the common man. Today, the communists are in a heightened sense of self-denial. They are too stubborn to admit that they could be wrong. They just want to utilise their political clout in the name of the common man – who doesn’t have the time or resources to think for himself – and blindly follows what these alleged social do-gooders say. Thus the communists have gained a sizable support to allow them such liberties.
But what the Communist parties should do is reform themselves. Make themselves open their eyes towards the inevitable change that is taking place all around them. The Congress party has, to an extent, been successful in achieving this (more or less). Their are thinking of the future generations and making plans accordingly. Even other communist countries like China are endorsing this forward view while only the Indian communists are moving backwards! Time to change Mr. Yechury. Time to change.
