What the Left does not understand about Islam

What the Left does not understand about Islam

The left has never adapted to the transition from nationalistic wars to ideological wars. It took the left a while to grasp that the Nazis were a fundamentally different foe than the Kaiser and that pretending that World War II was another war for the benefit of colonialists and arms dealers was the behavior of deluded lunatics. And yet much of the left insisted on approaching the war in just that fashion, and had Hitler not attacked Stalin, it might have remained stuck there.

    Communist and their ignorance :- )

    1. Communists are known for speaking in many voices if it suits their interest. Contrary to the Marxian dictum -’religion is the opium of people’ their softness towards the religious obscurantism of the Muslims exposed their intellectual hypocrisy and puzzled the people of India.

    2. The Communists attempt to ‘ape Russia and China’ for everything.

    3. It is said, if there is rain in Moscow or China, Indian Communists open their umbrellas.

    4. Communist never opposed collaborative relation between China and Pakistan, which was basically to precipitate chaotic conditions in secular India.

    5.For Communists Indian nationalism is bourgeois nationalism but Russian/Chinese nationalism for them is proletarian nationalism.

    6. “Once the Marxist bug bites a person, he dumps nationalism and cuts himself off from his civilisational heritage”.

    7. For Communist concept of nationalism is synonymous to Hinduism and therefore they opposed the efforts of nationalist forces to promote its spirit among the countrymen during freedom movement.

    8. Hate-Hindu campaign became program for Communist and they always targeted the nationalist forces as their enemy.

    9.The Communists described the nationalist movement for freedom as collaboration of National Bourgeoisie with ‘fascism’ and therefore supported the war efforts of ‘British Bureaucracy.

    10. The Communists floated multi-national theory in support of two-nation theory propagated by the Muslim League.

    11. Theoretically Communist believe in social equality but in practice they purge their opponents once they are in political power.

    12. communist justify use of violence to propagate their doctrine.

    13. Communists’ leadership continued to remain confined to English educated minority group, who remained unconscious of the pre-medieval glorious history of India.

    14. Communism failed everywhere in the world, but its followers in India are still hoping against hope to revive it by entrenching the Indian polity with their divisive tactics.

    15. It was a historical coincidence that the Communist movement followed the Muslim communalists’ movement for separatism launched during the freedom struggle against British colonialism.

    16.Ever since the Communist Party of India (CPI) was born in mid 1920s it had been trying to keep the Muslim mind confused over pre-Islamic past of this country.

    17. The Communists equated the controversial Aryan invasion theory as well as forceful eviction of Dravidians to the South that was propounded by the historians of the West with the Muslim invaders and persecution of the Hindus.

    18. Banking on the European account of Indian History the Communists argue that if Muslim invaders like Arabs, Turks, Central Asians, Afghans or Persians were outsiders, Hindus too were not the indigenous people of this land as they were also the descendants of Aryan invaders from outside?

    Thanks are due to Sri Hitesh Rangra for his points on Indian communists and their deranged / twisted positions dictated by their mentors in Russia and China.

    I wondered about his point 15 – did not follow it fully. Was it a coincidence?

    The Marxist-Mullah-congress party alliance in India will be seen as a puzzle by future historians.
