Which is why the real revolutionaries of those WW2 years, the Socialists notably, JP and Achyut Patwardhan, treated the commies with great contempt. While the Congress leaders simply went to jail, quite a few socialists were bumped off or at best tortured. After independence the history of the commies is one long litany of betrayal, and stupidity for which India continues to pay a dear price. EMS carved out a Muslim majority district in Kerala setting the communalism ball rolling, the commies' bootlicking of the Chinese is too well known to be recounted. HSS loved the poor but kept his riches for himself. His grandson's wedding was celebrated in pomp and glory at the Mohali Stadium a few years ago. So then what's left to praise of this man?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20022401.post-54261340705373152882008-08-05T11:10:00.000+05:302008-08-05T11:10:00.000+05:30Simple and blunt, I liked it.And, its not as if yo...Simple and blunt, I liked it.<BR/>And, its not as if you encouraged someone to get him killed.<BR/><BR/>Especially when people are expected to be politically right pussies. <BR/><BR/>Like some of these overzealous religious athletes, praising God when they win, but failing to mention a word about God when they lose.Hypocrites.<BR/><BR/>-ShankarShankar Srinivasanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190589777003764146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20022401.post-49790611130236406182008-08-04T08:39:00.000+05:302008-08-04T08:39:00.000+05:30I did view H.S.

So long as a person doesn't violate the law, he is entitled to believe in whatever ideology he pleases. That's democracy. <BR/><BR/>Welcoming the death of a rival ideologue also shows your (our) ideology in bad light.Photonmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695894057640886434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20022401.post-78161853046987106442008-08-04T00:15:00.000+05:302008-08-04T00:15:00.000+05:30Get a grip man.
