Should communism be banned in India.

Joseph McCarthy, Republican Senator from Wisconsin from 1947-1957, was a rabid anti-communist who was discredited in later life and McCarthyism is now synonymous with paranoid fanaticism. While the US has been staunchly anti-communist since then communism disappeared from Europe since December 1991 when the Soviet Union ceased to exist. Today many of the countries of the former Soviet block are members of NATO, making the US the only super power in the world. Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot, all Communists, will long be remembered for the deaths of tens of millions of people of their own country. Today it goes around as Socialism. However, Adolf Hitler was from the National Socialist German Workers Party. IN the past 10 years of Socialism in India many people had a great time with taxpayer money and they are enraged at the prospect of Mr Modi winning the current elections. One Mr Harsh Mander, member of the National Advisory Council whose advice has nearly bankrupted India, writes a ferocious indictment of Mr Modi. After giving figures which seem to prove that Gujarat is one of the poorest states in India where industrialists are given tax breaks he writes," Economists such as Indira Hirway question whether this is good governance or crony capitalism." How innocent is that? He has not heard of the 2G scam, the Coalgate scam, the Adarsh scam, the CWG scam among many others during his time as adviser. Is it crony capitalism to encourage business so as to create jobs or to divide trillions of rupees among friends and family. Opining that people should be able to vote on clear knowledge of policies Mr Tarun Kumar, a self confessed bureaucrat, writes," The rational choice of the electorate should be based on programmes, policies and performance rather than personalities." Stirring words indeed. Sadly he has forgotten that it is the rotten bureaucracy in India which strenuously fights any reforms, seeking to maintain its stranglehold on power and indecent perks. Civil servants are responsible for the ' policy paralysis ', which has frozen all official work, because of the protests against corruption. Then there is Mr Aakar Patel, from Gujarat no less, who has seen no improvement in the state in all the years that he grew up there. He has not noticed the wide roads, constant electricity and prompt service at government departments in the last 10 years. Poor chap. Blindness must be terrible. Time to ban communism in India?
