Dear Dileep Just read your article, but what I want to respond to is something lelse. The Coimbatore meeting just being over - i think it is time we ruminate over this. One is glad to hear of dissension within the CPIM circles and pressure to look at the Chengara issue. One also needs to remember that with all its patrairchal overtones - CPIM is one of the few poltical party based infrastructures in this country that encourage dissent actively where they are not in power - TN my home state is the best example There was an earlier post by Murali poking neo-liberal jokes at Cuba - Cuba is definitely not my ideal state, nor is the United States, India or China. Similarly CPIM or the communist parties world wide are not my political ideals - they are definitively arrogantly dogmatic - but that is no reason to create a stereotype that would make GPRs of the world shut up. I'd rather like to see how GPR would respond to your article in deshabhimani rather than presume that CPM = GPR or vice versa I repeat with my earlier caveat, I am here trying to get educated about poltics in Kerala
