The CPI in Bihar never saw a contradiction between organising landless labourers and having a party structure dominated by upper castes, especially Bhumihars like Kumar.
The LDF’s largest partner, CPI(M), and the CPI, have split the seats between them such that other partners of the 10-member alliance have none left to contest.
A deadly combination of political inexperience, ideological rigidity and personal hubris has brought the King Canutes of the Left to an interesting turning point.
According to a report by Macquarie, India’s data centre market is estimated to double by 2027. India currently has 1.4 gigawatts of operational data centre capacity.
At 11th edition of Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue in New Delhi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi said there are three major currents shaping this maritime 'dynaxity'.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Astonishing the author has sought to condemn an entire caste.
Where the author deserves praise is his unmasking of the poster boy of liberal leftist pseuds, Kanhaiya Kumar — a leading member of the the tukde tukde gang.
The whole article can be summarized in one line – “No forward caste person can ever be a progressive politician”. I am guessing the author will now start attacking people like Jean Dreze as faux-activists…
While I do generally agree with the most observations of Dilip Mandal, I have some disagreements as well. For one even though the class character of the petti bourgeoise is compradore the leadership of a socialist revolution also comes from the same class and therefore we cannot condemn Kanhaiya before giving him a chance. Two, at the moment we need a Bhumihar to counter and defeat another communally venomous Bhumihar like Giriraj Singh. A Yadav, an OBC, a Dalit and least of all a Muslim, would stand no chance against Giriraj Singh in the Bhumihar bastion Begusarai
And they say it’s the upper castes who propound hatred and divide in the society! Grow up Mr. Mandal! Stop playing the victim card for once & shed some light out of your intellect on the irreparable damage pseudointellectuals like you have brought upon the younger generation of your own clan by proclaiming the so called ‘opressor-opressed perpetuity’. Don’t you feel reservation which was meant to uplift your brethren has become a means to deprive people of your own by your own? Those like you have clinged to it for eternity in every sphere and have been denying the benefits to those of your own. It’s 72 years past Independence and you still find solidarity in the dark ages? Shame!
In November 2018, The Print carried article which informed us on what Kanhaiya Kumar, Shehla Rashid and Umar Khalid would do after getting their PhDs from JNU. As per the article, none of them would join politics. Less than 5 months of that article, Kanhaiya is a MP candidate and Shehla Rashid has joined a political party in J&K and might even be an MP candidate. What does this tell you about the quality of journalism in The Print?
Whatever is written about kanhaiya in this article is a matter of perceptions. And the perception are formed on the basis of experiences in the past. But the some facts are presented by this article are absolutely true
1. Communist parties leaderships in bihar are dominated by upper castes in bihar mainly Bhumihars
2. In the time of naxalite movement in bihar bhumihars have joined the communist party to save their land.
3. Brahmeshwar Mukhiya was a terrorist. Their gangs use to exploit lower caste in area of buxar and Aarah. They have unleashed uncountable number of caste atrocities in these area.
4. I personally know the so called leningrad Begusarai is a highly casteist and feudal society. Begusarai has never seen any people movement under the leadership of cpi . Maha dalit , dalit and EBC people still faces all form of caste discrimination and atrocities
Dr Kanhaya Kumar is fighting Electition from his home district. Why are you attaching cast tag to an intellectual who always says he wants freedom from cast system? It is not his mistake that Begusarai in Bihar is dominated by Bumihars. Let a communist man win without a cast tag.

Not a single people movements are done by the communist of Begusarai in Begusarai in favour of maha dalit or worker or landless labour or for any oppressed community in Bihar
Common lets do a survey. Those cursing Mr. Mandal, in comment section are mostly mishra Or come from so called ‘upper cast’. It shows how much cast prejudice is still prevalent in our society. And happy that he used the word “criminal” For criminal.
Kanhaiya often says…. Hame chahiye Azadi, jaatiwaad se Azadi. Bihar has 40 lok sabha seats. He chose to contest begusarai, because of ‘bumihaar caste’ identity. Just using jargon and flowery language, won’t change the ground d realities about caste

My good wishes to Kanhaiya kumar who is raising his voices to a common man of India, and which is totally democratic. His speeches is unparalleled compared to other politicians, it is a need of present time.
What a shameless writer Mr. mandal is……he writes that…..”the seat shall be held by progresive-sounding Bhumihar who utters ‘Jai Bhim’ and ‘Lal Salam’ in the same breath”
After that i stopped reading further as has stated his intellectual prowess by then. So long as so called progressive writers like you will remain…there shall always be divide…as that is what helps people like you to thrive…
Mr Mandal, respected Mukhiya Jee was not a criminal, he always fight for poor guys and he was social worker. As you said Bhumihar organisations still celebrate Singh’s death anniversary as ‘martyr’ day. Now hope you will not use word criminal and try to insult a particular community. Thank you …
Everyone is free to express and so is Mandalji. But to me it does raises question
1. Is this narrative comes from the same world view as the oppressor narrative?
2. Is it a fact that only caste is a way to oppress or their are several other legitimate basis?
3. Is this narrative only to suppress various young voices by colouring them with the same system of recognition by birth or should one encourage a kanahiya to work with jignesh to bridge this historical undoing?
I have often found intellectuals from both the side doing almost similar job. None the less, to deny the history of insensitivity towards caste is equally unfair. But to not facilitate assimilation means nothing more than intellectual misuse. In this light Mandalji seems to be no different from other previledged educated people once they hold intellectual power.
The estimeed writer should be more critical and see a possibility as we see in young people like jignesh or many others to bring closeness yet sensitizing this historical insensitivity. This rhetoric has not helped and only further separates.
The author Dilip Mandal like other mediamen of India nourishes megalomania of being intellectual giant as well dedicated social worker cum reformer and messeiha like N.Mandela . Dilip Mandal’s observations are highly prejudiced and views jaundiced to the core. It appears to originate from personal jealousy,enmity, ignorance, partiality and arrogance. Electronic media arrange debates with vested vile political motive to propagate falsities in allegorical ways with super twist &turn in the shade of informing and educating the masses to confuse, mislead and cause universal bitterbess in the vast secular civil society of nation to serve interests of their Benefactors and Patrons and their own . They do it shamelessly and fearlessly without having any social concern .They stoop to any length to force their points ,ugly wants of popularity and villainy by hook or by crook. They do sometimes write,at times roar, quarrel, insult and adopt all such means to assail and assault but bring the guest participants on knees.
Accordingly views of D. Mandal are distorted , poorly informed,with malice &vilified.LateSwamy Sahjanand does not need fresh introduction in Bihar, his was a symbol and epitome of Movement of Abolition of Zamindari System or the privileges of Exintermediaries in Bihar which included Upper castes as well as Backward 2 and somewhere BC 1.The credite goes to Sahjanand , The ThenC.M.Dr.S.K.Singh,Dr.A.N.Singh and others of those days.
Karl Marx ,the man of 19th century has a friend F.Engles who was an industrialst of Britain of high reputation but had been a veteran communist and finished rest two volumes of DasCapital in a way that is out of intellectual range of D Mandal.
A little humility costs nothing but brings good name , ejaculating venom to spread bad blood in society has been the avowed avocation of your clan Mr.Mandal. It requires indepth knowledge , sustained endeavour and dedication to study,analyse and reaching on conclusion of heterogeineous structure and dynamics of psyche.Thank you.D.Mandal.

Mandal himself declared him as progressive!!
Is not he bias?
Nand Kumar prasad ji ur reply to Dilip Mandal is very good but I m afraid if he understands the tough English words u chose
