Over there! It's Green- Jump! Hurray!
Disenchantment makes people rebellious, and thereby induces them to take U turns in their political ideologies. The CPI(m) leadership should have revamped it's 'dinosaurs' status quo to include new societal and environmental concerns to showcase the inequality in the 21st century. Left ideology in India, therefore, needs a thorough overhaul and not a burial. Socialism is neither an easy thing to preach nor to follow: one needs to be strong willed to withstand the turbulent winds of onslaught by money power and to ward off the temptations of the greener pastures on the other side. Opportunists are everywhere, and it is not a surprise if only 240 are found! And of course, every dog has its day :)
