You’re in the communist party of India, right?
Yes , Communist party of India (Marxist). In short CPIM
Is your party taking a stance in this? How popular is it (in your opinion) with the general public?
The photo that you see in the post which has SFI protesting, SFI is a student Union branch of CPIM. Long story short general public of India is pretty much pro Hindutva culturally and politically. What does it mean? It means BJP and RSS has changed the hindu culture and religious concepts in its entirety. Now it’s at the point of no return. There are pockets of good people and left organizations but they do lack analysis and good theological understanding of India. What does it mean? We have to find a way where religious people Hindus, Muslims, Sikh, Christians, Jains don’t create hegemony on each other. It’s difficult to create this and it’s more difficult to implement it. There is also major problem of casteism and feudalism in North India. That’s why South is more liberal and pro Marxist but North is not. Muslims in India also need to follow or revive their own Sufi traditions which is more spiritual Islam than following foreign concepts of Muslim Brotherhood and salafism.
Note : Vijay Prashad is a member of CPIM
Thank you for the insight
Which fucking one?
There are only 2 relevant Communist parties in India one is CPI (the original founded in Uzbekistan) and another is the splinter which was founded in 1962 due to sino soviet split for which CPIM chose a more holistic way to define Stalin and CPC instead of throwing Stalin into the dustbin. There are other splinter groups but they are more or less clubs in India. There are naxals (my father was one) but they became irrelevant after the debacle of 1970s and death of Mao.
Idk, I just vaguely recall OP to mention being in one
I was mostly making a joke about how many Indian communist parties there are
Is the US annoyed with them enough for this to get a mention in the western media? Or are they still hoping they can sway India over to their side and so are ignoring all of the open fascism?
As long as anti China sentiment exists in India 🤣
We laughed at Zelensky but fell in the same fascist hole :(
