Marxist-Muslim combine….
India is a land of contradictions it is said. We have lot of contradictions on our back.Here are some of them.
· India is the first country to have installed a democratically elected communist government in Kerala.
· India has the second largest muslim population in world but still people doubt our secularism.

But the blog is about the combination which is shaping up in India. All around the globe if one observes communism & Islam have been at loggerheads. Be it USSR vs Chechnya or China vs Xinjiang. Because both have imperialistic flavour and both watch nationalism with contempt.

Communism declares “Workers of world unite” casting aside national boundaries. Actually communists never viewed India as a nation but a collection of nationalities as Europe. They declared that India with so much diversity cannot be a nation and always derided our culture. The main reason behind communism not getting a wide acceptance.

Islam also views world in two halves-: Dar-ul-Harab & Dar-ul-Islam. Dar-ul-Islam is where shariat or Islamic law is followed and Harab where kaafirs rule the roost. Al-Qaida wants to convert all Harab to Dar-ul-Islam. They have a following throughout the world because nationalistic fervour is second to religion in Islam. (The same tendency is seen in opposing Vande Mataram because it is a prayer for motherland)

Strangely in India, communism & Islam have enjoyed a long drawn friendship. It came out strongly during Bush visit. When protests were organized throughout the country saying that he was a mass murderer by our comrades as well as muslims. But has American bombing killed any Indian muslim, unless he went all the way to Afghanistan to support Taliban. Iraq war is controversial but what Bush did in Afghan land should be supported because it cleansed the medieval rule of Taliban.

But it is the same way in which muslims here are more bothered about what is happening to their brethren in Palestine or Iran than in India. Same was the case with Khilafat movement which was formed for Khalifa of Turkey and not to drive British out of India. It actually sowed the seeds of partition by fanning communal passions of people like Jinnah. The communist, Samajwadis or RJD are commiting the same mistake by supporting such protests.

Communist are supporting these protest by keeping an eye on assembly elections which they have tilted through allowing illegal migration of Bangladeshis which are their voters. Officially there are 40 lac of illegal immigrants in West Bengal. It is time to teach both of them a lesson by ensuring that communist suffer their first ever defeat in WB which they have so illegally occupied.
