No Free Left- The Futures of Indian Communism a
much talked about book in 2015 amongst left oriented circles. Vijay Prasad ,
the author is the General editor of Leftword Books, a CPIM publication
Division. Vijay a prolific writer in
Frontline, Hindu ,PD,Marxist etc. The
book is near to 400 pages priced Rs 995 . The first impression I got
when reading that book is as if I am reading the compilation of CPM’s Reports
of various congresses held chronologically- its Political review report, Org
report, Political Resoultion. It does not mean that the book contains subject
matter beyond that. But in most of the pages, I had that impression. It is self
critical to some extent not to the extent of Critical study of Praful Bidwai’s Phoneix Moments of the same
year 2015. Of course it is easy to analyse write and criticize what happened and
easy to draft suggestions and ways for the future, but difficult to organise, monitor
and translate.
some excerpts highlighted by me is given in my FB…
