It’s the end of the rape of Marxism in Bengal! Long live paribartan!

Yes, it’s 20 years since Rajiv Gandhi’s death. And all my readers are very well aware that if there was one prime minister in my adult lifetime who ever made me feel proud as an Indian, it was him. I wish I could write this edit only on him, but I think many brilliant people, in Rajiv’s memory, have written on him in this issue; so my writing on him is of lesser importance – especially given the most likely fact that by the time this magazine reaches your hands, a huge and significant chapter in Indian politics would have come to an end. Yes, I am talking about the rule of CPM in Bengal. As far as all exit polls are concerned – except for some ludicrous CPM channel polls – it’s Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool party which is all set to sweep the polls in Bengal. In fact, if the leading channel is to be believed, then the current chief minister Budhdhadeb Bhattacharya is expected to lose too! So I think I can safely say it’s the end of CPM in Bengal. Or should I say the end of Stalinism in Bengal? Read more

End of stalinism and is it beginning of Maoism???
Strange the man of such reputation sometimes ends up in senseless articles!

Sir,

Why Rajiv Gandhi only? What about Dr PV Narshima Rao and Sri AB Vajpayee??
I feel,what they have done is unmatched in History.

@Jon- Do not know whether Maoism will start or not,but Stalinism is on the decline for sure. And,that is good.
Politicians and also hooligans of Indian politics should understand the real power of democratic process. People of this country can vote for change. The recent Bengal result is evident that justified the editorial of Arindam Chaudhuri (TSI, 22 May 2011)- Yes, it's the end of the rape of marxism in Bengal, but Mamata Banerrjee should also learn the lesson that she is required to work in the interest of people. With best wishes, Keshav Ram Singhal, Ajmer

प्रिय अरिंदम जी , शुक्र है आप खुद को समाजवादी कहने का बल रखते है ... आप के लेख से मै बिलकुल मुत्तफिक हू जो कुछ आपने ने लिखा ..पिछले तीस साल मे
मे कौन सा स्टालिनवाद बंगाल मे चला मै आपसे ज्ञान ग्रहण करना चाहता था लेकिन कुछ आपन यिस पर लिखा नहीं ..जैसे कोई बम्बई , या पंजाब या गुजरात हुआ हो
बंगाल मे .. लाखो किसानो ने जो आत्म हत्याए की कितनी संख्या बंगाल के किसानो की है .. य कितने लोग भुखमरी से मारे गए .. या बंगाल मे कितने सम्प्रदाइक दंगे हुए
या कितने घोटाले हुए हुए .. जिसमे बंगाल का योगदान हो .. मेरे ख्याल से आज देश के सामने इन सवालों की कोई अहमियत नहीं है .. उपरोक्त सवालो पर लेफ्ट टिका रहा
और जनता ने सवालों पर फातिहा पढ़ कर ममता जी को चुना है ..जिनकी अपनी सियासी वल्दियत देश के सामने है ..कितने वोह समाजवादी है यह भी किसी से छिपा नहीं है
लेफ्ट जब यू पि ए मे आया तो उसने सत्ता के सुख नहीं भोगे जैसे हमारे देश के बहुत से मंत्री को हर पञ्च साल मे एक कुर्सी और एक बीवी चाहिए होती है ..हमने देश को न रे गा
, आर टी आई , सरकारी बैंको को बचाने मे , अहम् रोल अदा किया की जब न रे गा आया तो सिर्फ बंगाल के लिए नहीं था पूरे देश के लिय था ..रही बात लेफ्ट के खतमे की आप
को वोट बैंक देखने होंगे ४२ % लेफ्ट को वोट मिला आठ % के फासले से ममता जी जीती ..त्रिनिमूल के साथ कांग्रेस , बी जे पि , आर एस एस मुस्लिम और हिन्दू सम्प्रदाइक ताकते
और फिक्की के पूरे काफले के लगने के बाद ही किले को हिला पाए.. लेकिन जो देश की परिस्थिति है जो हमसे बिछड़े गा वोह जल्द हमें पता चलेगा .. बंगाल सरकार ने कभी नहीं कहा की
वोह एक साम्यवादी स्टेट बना रहे है वोह आप ही के समाजवादी फार्मूले पर चल कर साम्राज्यवाद से लड़ने हुए लोगो का बंगाल बनाना चाहते थे ,....और अरिंदम जी अगर हमारे उजले भारत
मे बंगाल छोड़ कही आप ६-८ रुपये मे पेट भर खाना खा के दिखा दीजिये तो मान लूँगा साम्यवाद का सूरज डूब गया ....बस यही कहना चाहूँगा की , ""तूफ़ान कर रह था मेरे अजम का तवाफ़ ,
दुनिया समझ रही थी के कश्ती भंवर मे है "

HATS OFF TO SHAH RUKH KHAN FOR STANDING HIS GROUND! IT’S NOW TIME TO END THIS HOOLIGANISM ONCE AND FOR ALL AND MAKE MUMBAI A UNION TERRITORY!

SRK is great! Not just because he is such a star, but because he genuinely is the most amazing person and has such a logical and sound brain. And now the entire nation idolizes this man all the more because he has become a symbol of sheer courage as well! And I think all it required was someone like him to stand up coolly and say, “This is not right, I’ve done nothing wrong and I won’t apologise.” When he was saying this, one could almost see the schoolboy rebel in him – not ready to cow down to an illogical man trying to act as the school headmaster. I am writing this editorial immediately after coming back from a show on NDTV 24x7, which was on the topic, “Is Sena the real power in Mumbai?” I was one of the speakers. It was sad to see Uddhav Thackeray, who was another speaker in that show, sticking to a stance that cannot be defended by any sense of logic. When questioned on the show by the NDTV anchor on his tendentious comments against SRK, Uddhav’s reply was that one should ask th

It’s important for Anna to become more flexible and respectful towards the democratic process, to give a bigger thrust to his movement

I was too young then to really remember it all; but I have heard from many people that the mass protests generated by the arrest of Anna Hazare are similar to the uprising called Total Revolution led by the late Jaiprakash Narayan in the early 1970s. In fact, it was the Total Revolution and the chaos that followed – and a historic blunder by Indira Gandhi – that led to the imposition of the Emergency in India in 1975. Many people are comparing today’s situation to the Emergency days. The people of India are so fed up and so disgusted with corruption and our rotten and corrupt system that the wave of protests we see is hardly surprising. I have often publicly called India not a democracy but a demonocracy where crooked politicians and their criminal cohorts are openly plundering the nation; well aware that a dysfunctional judicial system will allow them to get away. In almost all cases, they have actually got away and have hence acquired the arrogance and swagger of pirates who know

Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

A phony poseur that has been made only to mock India for the viewing pleasure of the First World!! The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been trashed as a rotting old hat, which literally stands out only because of its stench, but since the man making it happens to be from the West, we’re all left celebrating the emperor’s new clothes. The film borrows an undoubtedly interesting narrative style – from films like “City of God” – but then uses it to weave in a collection of clichés from the Third World’s underbelly for the viewing pleasure of a First World audience. The real slumdog in the movie is not
