Failure to adapt to new socio-political dynamics, lack of introspection, inability to retain old bases have meant Left is now relegated to periphery of Indian politics.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Dogma, ideology, obscurantism.. anything else to show in today’s context. Their demise in the realm of social sciences will be the final nail in their coffin..
These people should pack up and go. They are a failure wherever they have governed, be it India or abroad. Give them power once and the voters can repent for eternity. Venezuela, North Korea and China are shining examples of their arrogance, corruption and mismanagement…
The left are followers of China.
For them China is more important and they live of the palm of China. They are irrelevant in India and they have been shown their rightful place by the people.
Very difficult to see the Left once again becoming a potent force in Indian politics. It remains in contention in Kerala, winning alternate elections. After its 1977 – 2011 stint in Bengal, there are few signs that it will return to office. Tripura, one way or another, is a small state. It takes up useful causes. The long march of farmers, including Adivasis, from Nasik to Bombay, is what meaningful politics should be about. If Prakash Karat makes way unreservedly for Sitaram Yechury, that would be good for the future of the movement. The Left should have made better use of its numbers during UPA I. First it blocked economic reform, then it almost brought down the government.

Its a thoughtful article for left parties in India. But the author failed to narrate how they are still strong in Kerala?
