**BLUNDER BY COMRADE D. RAJA?** Got the prerogative to listen to the esteemed Comrade D. Raja, an EX-MP from CPI and a very senior communist (yet-not-in-the-Polit-Bureau) cadre belonging to SC category, in the JNU convention center at the national seminar on India between Caste and Casteless-ness in the era of Liberation Privatization and Globalization (LPG) Comrade Raja spoke eloquently on the so-called achievements of communism in eradicating the casteism and caste system in india. In his praising of communism D. Raja went on to say that had ambedkar been sitting in front of him and listened him, ambedkar would have agreed and joined him. This statement came after he had earlier referred to Buddha or Karl Marx to justify that ambedkar could well have been a communist. One thing was made clear that D. Raja has neither read the book and nor has he read ambedkar understandably. Moreover, upon being questioned about if any of his experience of casteism in the party he seemed perplexed and perturbed dwindling between the pain of the inclusive seclusion he has faced in the party and the party line of taking a diluted stand upon caste system.
