Communism, poverty and dignity of women in India

Reference to Mr Jubel D' Cruz's letters dated 10/3/18 and 17/3/18 letters, the pulling down of Lenin's statue in Tripura (N.E. India) is not a new news. It had already happened in Russia while the communist country changed to a progressive democratic society and country in which left ideology had become unpopular in an age of political democratisation all over the world; and allowing the plurality of ideas, the plurality of religions and the argumentative tradition are established there again.

India has never been a communist country, but under the guise of politically socialist policy, some politicians carry the banner of communism giving wrong promise to the ignorant and poor people to eradicate poverty; and instead of improving the poor's life economically, they long for the increased number of poor people, so that their votes can help them to come and remain in power.

Mr Modi has been tackling the mammoth task of removing poverty successfully even in a short span of time of his continued 4 year's rule, while Congress government failed to do it in 70 years' rule.

Bharat Singh like every one else studied the life of great men, inclusive Lenin, but it does not imply that he intended to follow communism.

While spending money on celebrating weddings, birthdays etc. Indian people invite "any and everybody" that includes " underprivileged children" as well; and also donate money,clothes etc to charitable institutions, which, in turn, organise collective and group marriage ceremonies for poor people; but the Indian people do not "parcel the remaining food home", as he blames. His blame is blatantly derogatory lie and full of dereliction in letter writer's duty.

The dignity of mothers and sisters is honoured in Indian culture, the laws are in place and effective for prospective offenders, as they operate in the rest of the countries of the world.
