Red Lal


This is in response to CK Lal's last column, The Rana resonance (# 30). Let me start by saying "Lal is not just a surname, it is a symbol of Communism." As a regular reader of your newspaper, I am astounded to find a full page given to a columnist who lacks analytical strength and investigative zeal. Yes, CK Lal does keep talking about the feudal mindset and the lack of democracy, but he does not hesitate to stereotype, discriminate and conduct racial attacks. Correct me if I am wrong, but have you ever heard the term "Ranashahi"? Check your dictionary-it is "Tanashahi", not "Ranashahi". CK Lal quotes people like DH Lawrence. "Why does not the past decently bury itself, instead of sitting waiting to be admired by the present?" Well, because of people like CK Lal. People like him never want to give the past a decent burial, otherwise they will be out of a job and have to go back to their old ways-being feudal.
