when your cousin and head of NDTV which has a very left position and is married to sister of brinda karat, top left leader and chooses to not give you space, that is revealing as to how far gone they themselves think of her. Excursion trips to maoist camps who were declared by congress lead upa 1 govt( which was allied to the biggest block of left who engage with democracy in parliament) prime minister manmohan singh as “single biggest internal threat”, and whose stated position is to overthrow democracy and you are sympathetic to them, that tells everything. And yes, occasionally people do celebrate killings of Indian soldiers by maoists.

It might be ok for people to ally but it is foolish to not recognize the true nature of ally. My point regarding kashmir was that violence there had to do with guns that did come from across border and not killing of political activists of rival political parties purely for sake of power as it was in west bengal or in kerala. Kashmir isnt about political violence, west bengal is. There is no army posted there. The fact that the biggest internal security threat are maoists and the worst political violence was in west bengal controlled by left reveals to its nature. There should be endless volumes of literature on their violence, but if the academies themselves are covered by left ideologues as JNU among others are, who will call it out?.
HH is better than roy. There is no comparison on this. He isnt supporting or sympathizing a murderous gang of people whose stated objective is to overthrow of pakistan govt itself and throw out democracy.He didnt go to their camps and write propaganda piece in support of them. Condone their violent murders by their kangaroo system of justice where victims have no say. This is the more sinister element of left, they use democracy itself against it. Your understanding of “left” is very poor if you dont know of the nature of left in India and their history of violence and thereby your assessment of roy stands invalid.
