D Raja and the larger left politics of India

-

 

Communist Party of India (CPI) makes history by elevation D Raja to the post of general Secretary of the party. Mr. Raja will be first General Secretary, who is coming from the dalit community,
He is the one of finest leader and political activists of our time. I always admired his style of work like soft spoken with appropriate facts and interpretation, never hesitate to register his disagreements, if he is not convinced. I don't know, how will he appropriate in 2019 political demands for ensuring mobilization of mass for justice for all in our democratic framework, at the even existing left political parties are not coming together.Since 2004, i have been observing Mr Raja actions, he always engaged with all kinds of the peoples moment, which affects life of the marginalize section, he is only leader from his party, who has been negotiating dalit and the left.

This is high time for the communist parties of India to understand the caste, religion, tribes, gender and region differently, work with their aspirations to build their confident on the party.There is a need to take radical steps to reform the party and build a new leadership at he grassroots level too. For a long time now, this party has lacked strong ideas that could inspire the worker. Left, will have explore, new slogans and narrative to excite the masses, issue and difficulties of the people are same but you should not use the same slogans. Currently, we have crisis in the every spheres of life, begins from the rural distress, agrarian crisis, market slow down, high inflation, no jobs, even people are losing jobs.

The Party leaders will have to come up with a strong narrative to counter their main opponent, the BJP.The CPI will have to build cadres, and they should give fair representation based on caste, gender, religion, region etc. All Communists Parties of India should joins hand for electoral battle, they could build some kind of federation on the left parties. They can still exist with their own identity but they can elect one convenor of the larger left to build the confidence of the people. I am sure, D. Raja has credibility and authenticity for leading such federation of united left. Here CPIM will have to give driving kick for the left alliance.

  Couple of weeks ago, I went to nearby electric repair shop in my neighborhood, because my emergency light is not working. The technician, looked the all parts of light carefully, meantime I was trying to understand his situation during lockdown, he shared in those days his shop was completely shut down like others, I hesitantly, inquired about his livelihood sources and how he had managed his day to day expense? He shared, sir there was no option but I had to sell fruits in the streets, and that was the only source of survival for him and his family, after unlocking he is only able to earn around 30% of income, what he used to earn before Pandemic. After almost 20 minutes, he said he will not able to repair my light. I offered him money for his Labour but he refused to take and gently responded Sir, I haven't done your work, how can I take money, I tried hard but he was reluctant. With his gesture and dedication, I was thoroughly impressed....

Why I Believe Birsa Munda Remains Relevant For Indigenous Identity Around The World(15 November 1875 – 9 June 1900)

Birsa Munda was an indigenous leader and a folk hero, belonging to the Munda tribe who was behind the Millenarian movement that arose in Jharkhand during the British Raj. This made him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement. Birsa Munda is named with great respect as one of the freedom fighters in the Indian struggle for independence against British colonialism. His achievements in the freedom struggle became even greater considering he accomplished this before he turned 25. Birsa’s devotion to his people was such that he was almost revered as God by his followers. By the time he was in his 20s, his activities in present-day Jharkhand had already begun to worry the British establishment to a considerable extent. He was finally caught by the British on February 3, 1900, when he was only 25 years old. He died soon afterwards under mysterious circumstances on June 9, 1900, at Ranchi Jail. Indigenous people from the rest of Asia or Africa hav...

He was not only my teacher but mentor, guide, and one of my great admirers, for what I have been doing after finishing my study? That was his personality, he was never hesitant to give respect and dignity, no matter who are you? What kind of relationship is with him? My personal connection with him was far before I meet him personally, I am basically from rural India, where I studied till my graduation, we had kind of serious news reading habit in our family, and my father also guided us to read the editorial pages including writing on social or political issues. Those days, Rizwan Sb, used to write for Hindustan, Hindi, since, I was a regular reader, that was interesting for me to understand the social-political aspect of the marginalized social group on which he usually writes. When I got admission in MA- History in 2003 at Jamia Millia Islamia, that was transformative and dream comes true for me to study at Central University, at the same time I was very nervous in the Capital o...
