Why I Dislike Indian Communists?

There is not much wrong with communism if one goes by the original proposed by Karl Marx except that the basic theory of evolution is against the very grain of this philosophy. But many of the commendable human endeavours are against the "survival of the fittest." You don't have to go far - even if you simply feel that the man who is ridden with diabetes, suffers from hypertension, wears thick spectacles to enable him seeing even the Eiffel tower, deserves to live well past his reproductive age, you are rebelling against the theory of evolution. So, there is not much wrong with communism beyond this.

Communists, expecially the Indian variety (not that I have seen the other varieties; may be they are all alike!), well that's a different topic altogether. Watch them on the TV. They are all downright serious, so serious that you feel that these are the only people who have taken all the problems of the world upon themselves. When they speak, they are strident and they shout. They must be doing that all the time because most of them are hoarse even at the start of the programme! Most of them cough from excessive shouting. Most of them speak about ethics and morals and ethics and morals and ethics and morals and ..................Most of them say no all the time. no to big business, no to retail, no to foreign money, no to foreign universities, no to all kinds of reforms, no to religion, no to god, NONONONO. There is only one exception to this breed of communists and that is Sitaram Yechuri. Notice how this man smiles all the time. even when he is talking about something he feels is catastrophic, he is smiling. When he talks of BJP, he smiles, when he talks of Congress, he smiles, when he talks of communist party, he smiles. But that confirms one thing - communists actually do not know how to smile. If Yechuri is their best smile mascot, then may be it is better not to smile at all.
