Red Alert: India's Big Communist Threat


The communists are not content with making a mockery of an elected Government. The hypocrites won't even take it to the polls. Unelected members of the party have gatecrashed into the constitutional process.

Recently Mr. Karat came out with their global agenda. Read coverage by Offstumped and Sandeepweb.

This is about time the issue gets its due attention. Quite clearly the communists have no intention to respect the constitution. Communism rejects the idea of democratically elected Governments. We amended our constitution once and added socialism to our already long moniker. Perhaps another amendment is in order, just in case the commies manage to usurp power.

Even if they do come to power, what exactly do we get back in bargain? Do they even have a road map (aside from sending India back to medieval ages)? West Bengal has one of the worst PDS systems. Kerala ranks high in certain social indicators but the reasons could be very different. Recently there was a spate of farmer migration from Kerala to Karnataka.

Some people believe that the communists are above corruption. Well, think again.
AHMEDABAD: Ending days of politicking and speculation, Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad finally got its new director on Friday. Samir Barua, who is a professor at the institute, will succeed Bakul Dholakia.

Fifty-seven-year-old Barua, who will be the first alumnus of the premier B-school to become its director, pipped a number of candidates to the post. The race had hotted up with talks of Barua, who is the son-in-law of CPI strongman A B Bardhan, pitted against another high profile candidate, advisor to Union finance minister Parthasarthy Shome.

Samir Barua has taught at IIM-A for decades, as a member of the Finance and Control department. The Congress is back at doing what it knows best - throttling institutions.

The road leads to utter ruin, Barbar.

Not an error or anything, just wanna point out.

Best,

those faces do not seem as threatening ones! these "anti-globalisation" skins would not survive for long. they do not have that sexy revolutionary and reformist atitude either. they have just plans which would vanish when they got hit

Chill!

Communists = Capitalists under Veil
Communists = Just a nameplate on the right wall of the gate that leads to a mansion, usually a large dwelling house typically built for the wealthy
