The colors of red:rebel,romance and revolution



Some one said "At age of 25 if you are not a communist,then there is a problem and if you remain a communist after 25 then there is also a problem".Youth is a time when one is full of energy ,hope,confidence and ideas,that's why some one has aptly said " Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven".Communist ideas more than the ideology and principles but essence of bringing change,making difference to life of others and importantly rebellion against the establishment fascinates the imagination of any youth.A few strikes,some protests ,rallies, elections are enough to satisfy the thirst of adventures for many a youths.But why some go so far that they devote their life career and comforts.Is this is a way to prolong their youthfulness.Political Mainstream Communist leaders and the Outlaw Naxals comprise of some of the persons who started with good background without any serious deprivations and who could ,if they had pursued their careers,have made to wonderful positions,are found struggling on streets and jungles.They took their youthful adventure quite serious and made it their life mission.

Doctors, Engineers,Academicians and who know others ,have found the ideology worth sacrificing their comforts and luxuries.NarayanSanyal,Kobad Ghandy,Anuradg Shanbug and others who are registered as naxals in Police records are not the people who have toiled in villages or lived in Jungles in their Childhood but come from prosperous families and received quality education but still they find a reason to work for the cause of tribals and villagers.Prakash Karat ,Brinda Karat and similar other communist leader have also thrown their brilliant careers to work as a part of a Party which was least glamorous and known.(The Congress and The BJP have always dominated the political scenario of India )
The mere thought of rebellion against the existing establishment in every sphere political,cultural and social can make one unpopular in fact make him an object of severe criticism in our society but these people have dared to challenge the establishment on their own and made others believe that the ideology is not words but it is possible While their dreams ( hope,mission,goal,whatever euphemism they may use) to establish the peoples power still remains a distant preposition ,one cannot easily deny the courage,perseverance and confidence these people have and are putting into their respective fields.So while naxals are challenging the elite of the governments paramilitary forces ,the communist parties also made a niche indian mainstream political space.The rebellion has extracted much from these people and they have paid in every form.But the question remains what powers the hope and imaginations of these people.(One preposition i often think(especially about Naxals) that they might have found themselves in a closed trap where they have no option but to live the revolution.)

Anuradha Shanbug (Ghandy)-BELOW

One can always imagine poverty,village ,death ,misery,scarcity and unknownness associated with communist ideology and the ideology itself stresses importance of ideology over the personality.So how can romance flowers amongst such situation where one does not even has an identity or in fact multiple identity(as in case of naxals).Where rebellion is the life goal and failures pave the life ahead how can romance find its way in such environment of hopelessness and struggle.Love has blossomed in the communist movement among many comrades.The men and women who struggle for hard showing the superhuman zeal and courage are also attacted towards each other and stung by the love fever, a quite human nature.


The revolution these comrades want to bring in society and political system would had been a possible preposition if India had been a authoritatian or monarchical State but the democracy and India being a republic bleak the prospect of any revolution.With all its intrinsic faults democracy still holds a hope that things will be better in future .This little hope is holding the fort against the wave of revolution.People however illiterate they are they know that the faults and failure of democracy not lies in the system and structure but in the strength of character and inherent morality and ethics of the people themselves.And no revolution can guarantee that the people who will sit on the Seats of power will be high in morality and ethics and have strong character.Still the comrades have full faith on their principle and ideals and they strongly hope that the revolution in India is possible and one day happen."Never deny some one of hope it may be that only thing they may be having" through this line i offer my regards to the comrades.
Rebellion ,romance and revolution are colored red and thus whenever they are thought red colors comes to not only mind but heart also.
