When I first came to know of the Communist Party’s decision to expel the Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee from the party, my first reaction was one of shock and sadness. I even criticized the CPI-M of displaying intolerance and a lack of civility.

But then, why would anyone want to criticize the CPI-M of such things?

Lack of respect and civility are inherent characteristics of thugs masquerading as intellectuals. To mock at people for their natural shortcomings does not become of a, well, whatever.

In fact, I greatly welcome the CPI-M’s decision, for it reiterates their inferiority.

When someone asked me a few years ago what I thought of the Nobel Committee not honoring Mahatma Gandhi with the Peace Prize, I wondered what honor it would have brought the great man. To be honest, if the Committee had conferred Gandhiji with the Prize, it would have done the Prize, and not the statesman-saint, an honor. The Committee might have acted out of their own sense of inferiority, I thought.

Similarly, by expelling Mr. Chatterjee from the Party, the Chinese Poodles of India (Malicious) speaks of their realization that the party is not one for dignified people, and that only unabashed boot-lickers can claim membership to the league.

I might have quoted this line from Cho Ramaswany many times on this blog, but it is imperative that I repeat it here. “If the Left has a future in India, India has no future left.“
