I some times fail to under stand what is wrong with us,we ignore the immediate sick next door friend but supply medicine to Bangladesh,we pay and watch cricketers fight  for money and ignore our maid servants raise,and now we become all concern about The Present West Bengal Governments move to include few news paper according to the way they think better,and ignore that some people has prophesed that this July the world willend.Well in that event the democracy will exist and so will we.It hardly matters what is kept in the liabries by the government for the readers.For the readers in turn it matters what is the market rate of a kilo of potato rather than what is being writen in the news papers.

What the social democrats in West Bengal gradually introduced, the trinomool government wants it at once, politicisation of every thing. The parliamentary democratic system gives priority to the intention of the political party that assumes power, as a result emphasis on the ideology the Political party which rules the subjects takes the front seat,  and such intention of the political party is exerted by a  chosen few,  making  them audible, based on whose wish the wheels of  the regime runs.

There in nothing wrong in such approach, but the problem is when the reign comes to the hand of one instead of a group and more so over in the hand of some one whose mind is preoccupied with vengeance and hatred.

If we travel back to the era of the dictators, Hitler, Mussolini etc all of them had a thing in common, a heart full fire,  enough to burn the communities they disliked. It’s true what happened a century back has been an eye opener for all, the history of Second World War taught us that he who holds the sword of hatred   will perish with the sword. But still some love to defy these teachings and try putting new words in it.

The basic trend of Parliamentary democratic system is that the people choose representatives and the representatives in turn choose there leader, it is the cardinal duty vested upon such representative to choose a leader who will  know  where the lines have to be drawn,   in turn must know what are his/her own limitations and must not leave a lose string hanging from the cloak of governance for the opposition to toy with.

The circular issued by the present government, declaring that decision has been made  to include some newspapers in the list for the aided liberties, there by banning the others are sure to be a blatant attempt to cross the lines and limits that was to be drawn by the democratic regime, in way of distinguishing  them from an autocratic one .

Things are so common when we trace history back words, if one recalls the rule of Hitler, each and every such report, which positively and negatively criticised the Government/regime came under scanner and as such writers often ended there life at a concentrating camp, and in a gradual elapse of time barring a few most of such names were erased from our memory.

Life is the best treasure a human being has, and all of them who rose against the dictators put it forward but in present scenario when State as assumed tremendous power and mechanism  who wants to waste such a valuable object in the hands of a mindless fool.

It is unwise to resist such move as mentioned above , as history taught us these tyrants  exit sooner or later, more over  what is done by the Government is absolutely correct in the present political system , as in parliamentary democratic system it is obvious the business houses those who promote the Political Party which runs the government, will get some political favour and the recent step to introduce  some new news paper in the libraries  is the due  political favour that such news papers should receive from the political party at present running the state  in way of discharging  their  pre poll obligations.

The making of our nation and the so-called partition of our nation also rested on the wish of the business houses, so nothing new has been done by the successors in interest by granting extra favour to chosen few.

It is obvious  that the huge political expenses borne by the political party comes from  the business houses,  and it is appreciated  as a duty of discharging   obligation the political parties favour these business houses or there  representatives who are given good mileage, either by sending them to Parliament or by including them in the lucrative governmental businesses.

In certain cases tender are floated with conditions to accommodate the business houses who blindly follow the regime, In certain cases even policy decision of the Government change stands to get such situation favourable for the disciple, in way of sparing the beneficiary from the Axe of Judicial review.

What ever has happened so far and what ought to happen is obvious and raising voice in such innocuous occasion is a waste of potential energy, which can be reserved for protesting the Governmental move, which may follow sooner or later, for selecting what to eat and cook.

It is now months the last left front government bowed down and the much bugled euphoria of the present government has also settled down. The new government’s supremo obelised the spectators for the first few days by giving theatrical appearances in various Governmental offices, so that her tabloid hung in the street corners have materials to display. All seemed to have settled now and people at large has gone back to regular routine, news are now concentrated around Indian Formula one, Bacchan family and there expecting baby and collapse of team Anna.
Same blunt faces of the old an incapable leadership of the left front and same practice of repeating mistakes and habit of admitting the guilt and there by not solving the same has had a negative impact on the supporters and the respective manifesto has failed to mesmerise public, the gradually fading sympathy to wards Left Front ultimately collapsed and what happened there after is now history.
Now the question is has the left parties learnt a lesson, are the leadership willing to bridge the gap and participate in greater cause ,and make their presence felt among the masses, or like yesteryears, will glorify the mistakes and by ornamenting the same will lead there respective parties to doom?
I propose to deal with these in a different angle, scaling them in my own machine that has been taking stock of the situation for long, as I now admit that even the Communist parties in India has no other options but to participate in the Parliamentary democratic system and spread its Ideology, as revisionism is now an obsolete term in India’s Communist System and unnecessary division between them in terms of calling each other names will only tighten the fist of the opportunists. I have no hesitation to say the recent collapse is also a reason of such internal conflicts between the Left parties.
Its true that the biggest party in the left front took all leading initiatives in the policy matters and the presence of the smaller parties were so insignificant that people termed the defeat of Left front as the defeat of the CPI (M).The control and command exerted by CPM in the left front actually defeated the basic of Lenin’s thought and preaching of leadership ,C.P,I(M) some what dictated the norms and the others for there respective interests obelised, how ever it is said that under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.
On the contrary the partners were not bothered as long as the ministries that they have occupied has provided comprehensive sustenance to that particular party, and generated funds from respective department helped the lesser parties to strengthen there hold in several pockets. Corruption was there, blatant and practiced in all forms, as the ministers were busy collecting revenue from the respective ministries, and in process was gradually withdrawing them from the mind of the commoners. It is however a pathetic display of degeneration of unity as witnessed in the last few years of the Left front rule, as all the smaller parties were ready and willing to shift the burden on the major member as they thought the public sympathy that they had will continue if there guilt can be passed on to other. The still continuing practice of failure to apologise, and passing the parcel of breakdown ,in itself proves the parties now out of power is ventilating there frustration and it seems that the passage of time did not lead to an end to this obfuscation. As Mao observed that investigation may be likened to the long months of pregnancy, and solving a problem to the day of birth. To investigate a problem is, indeed, to solve it, contrary to the prevailing practice of solving a problem by not solving it at all. (1)

There were allegations but none were replied properly, and the voters, had to throw the corpse. Life was long gone, the decomposition was in way preventing the youths from being attracted to the left ideology.
Now as I have earlier mentioned the question is has the Left Front leaders learnt there lessons? The answer is no, they have still proposed to leave the question unanswered as to what actually happened since 1947 till date and if they really want to ascertain the reason then the present leadership will have to step-down and search it among the peasants, commoners masses. The off an on remarks, the still so arrogant behaviour and more over the still prevailing practice of power mongering is the big NO to this question. The basic practice of Feudalism has crept in to the system of running the respective parties.
The left parties in Indian parliamentary democratic system, for reasons un known has been preventing the exposures of there young talents, even the talents those which made there appearance were so humble that they never took any positive steps to rectify the wrongs, more over those who had the guts was referred to as the black sheep, such failure has today paid back.
The problem is not with the system that has been prevailing, but the practice that was adopted, indiscriminate inclusions in the party ranks, with out knowing whether the aspirant is at all a believer in the ideology Marxism, socialism, respective parties proposed to increase there membership, mainly with the view of having more funds and more men, but never proposed to ask them and take a test as to whether they are real Communists.
People approached the ruling party for shelter, for greed, for getting there work done in there respective fields, and obviously with the passage of time they shifted there allegiance to others, as they were like water they well fitted them in the new container.
Its true the left parties, those who were in power are now some what pollution free, but they still need to pump in fresh blood to de congest the arteries so that the dream of having a revolution through ballots can be fulfilled and the country can be freed from the age old shackles of feudalistic capitalism, A disease common in these part of the world.
The present leadership should understand in the words of Rosa Luxemburg that ‘Those who do not move do not notice their chains.’
