Communists have finally realised the only way out of the rut is to follow China’s example. Buddhadeb is doing it in Bengal and now hopefully this mentality takes root in Kerala. The state has little to show economically in spite of its lead in literacy and many other human development indices. Keralites still leave the state in droves and generally do better outside the state (BPL, MRF, Leela Hotels et al). Let’s hope the guys in the Center also follow the example of their comrades in the states.

That is interesting. However, (notorious) reputation is something that is easy to gain but hard to change. I find it hard to believe that comrades have taken a U-turn. The lack of bandhs these days is mostly due to the courts and nothing to do with political will. Infact 2 weeks back Iritty (a small Kannur town where my folks live) town witnessed much political-violence which was camoflaged as Hindu-Muslim violence. The aftermath was burning of local establishments and vehicles resulting in various groups calling bands on successive days thereby ensuring that most people spent their forced holidays indoors. Well comrades didnt do anything directly (ya directly!!).
