[one-divides-into-two]

Though other classes and social sections will be important partners in the historical movement to destroy capitalism (its highest stage of imperialism) they cannot provide leadership. In each instance the issue of liberation is specific – land in the case of landless peasants, caste oppression for Dalits, male chauvinism for women, ethnic oppression for Adivasis, national oppression for oppressed people, religious persecution for minorities and so on. Being specific they are also partial, in the context of the whole revolutionary project. But this is not the situation of the proletariat. Capitalist bondage is different from earlier exploiting systems like caste-feudalism. It imposes no other compulsion on the workers other than the pangs of hunger. And since, in principle, they are free, there can be no specific liberation suiting them. Every form of exploitation and oppression must be ended. Thus the emancipation of the whole of humanity becomes a precondition for the liberation of this class. The leading role of the proletariat derives from this objective social position. It obliges the proletariat to continue the revolution all the way up till realising a world rid of exploitation.

If this Marxist understanding of proletarian leadership is absolutised it would certainly lead to reification. Both the history and present of the international communist movement illustrate how this emerges with mechanical equations, where proletariat = revolution and communist party = vanguard. On the other hand, economist impulses often seen in the upper strata of the proletariat, social passivity engendered by revisionist, reformist politics that strengthen this economism, and changes seen in the nature of labour and work places, have given rise to views that abandon the proletarian leadership concept. Carried away in the tide of identity politics, they believe that, in future, these movements will give leadership to social change.

Thus we have the two. At one end, reification of the proletariat and the communist party, selfishness that hoists this banner to justify fleeting necessities as common interests. At the other, the lethargic plea to reduce our sights to the partial, to abandon the noble task of an exploitation free world since it is a mere myth. Maoism cuts through this vicious circle. The leading role of the proletariat and the vanguard position of its communist party are potentialities contained in historical circumstances. They can only be realised through creative intervention in the historical moment of a specific society. Similar to other phenomena, this too is a unity of opposites

Ajith, On the Maoist Party

the faint smell of rain hitting the earth

Kundavai x Vandiyadevan 

Kandukondain Kandukondain AU

Yes, or no?

It was another day, with another potential groom arriving at her doorstep; to scrutinise and judge her. She wore the red silk saree, simple and plain with the gold kaasu chain. As she put long strands of jasmine in her hair, the doorbell rang. 

“Get the door,” her mother’s voice rang from the kitchen, where she was probably frantically frying bajjis for the visiting family. She sighed, flattened her hair once more before she pulled the latch and swung the door open wide. 

There was no family. Just one man. 

A sudden wave of shyness swept through her, she looked down. 

Dressed in brown pants, a very dull shirt over another checked shirt. She dared to steal a glance at his face. A head full of curly hair, a scruffy beard and dark brown eyes that were staring into hers. Startled when she met his eyes, he turned away, raising his hands to run it through his hair.

Vandiyadevan felt a sudden wave of shyness too, this woman standing in front of him was breathtaking. The red of her saree, the strands of jasmine falling over her shoulders, the elegant hand twisting the door knob, her light brown eyes, which he unexpectedly toppled into. Was she the owner of the house? Sensation and thought returned to him, he was here to do something else! 

He stepped in, “Hi, I’m Vandiyadevan,” he held his hand out. Before she could take it in hers, her mother came bounding out to greet him.

“Come in, son, come in! Have you come from the US?”

“Yes, New York. How did you know?”

“Did you come alone?”

He had looked thoroughly confused, this should have been Kundavai’s first warning but she just stood as he said, “I like handling things in a straightforward way." He brushed past her and walked in with her mother.  The calming breath she took in brought with it traces of tobacco, sweat, dust and sandalwood? Would the smoking be a problem, she wondered as she followed him into the main hall where her mother insisted she stay while they spoke. 

Vandiyadevan was awestruck by the house, it was perfect! He just had to get their permission to shoot now. He had begun the conversation and it had all gone downhill from there. They had mistaken him for a potential groom! The beautiful girl in the red saree had not said yes to giving them permission to shoot at her home, but to marry him. 

He was pushed out of the house, thoroughly annoyed by the entire episode until he had seen her standing on the balcony, crying. There he was, embarrassed by the whole ordeal. Only, she must have been more heartbroken. She had seen him looking, quickly wiping away her tears, but not hiding. He had walked back to where the film crew was working, in awe of this woman who he had just met, and who had agreed, in some twisted way, to marry him! 

. 

. 

.

When Arunmozhi had asked her, in a fit of his poetic inspiration, what kind of man she had wanted to marry, she had said, “I want him to have kind eyes.” 

The man sitting in her living room, with those brown eyes that reminded her of coffee and somehow the faint smell of rain hitting the earth, had kind eyes. Pushed to a corner, despite her misgivings, she had said yes, she’d marry him. He was handsome, and seemed like an educated young man, what was the worst that could happen? 

“The car met with an accident!”

“I’m an assistant director, I came to ask permission for a shoot!”

Her stomach had dropped, her hands growing cold when she realised he was not the potential bridegroom. A total stranger who had not come for her hand, but something else entirely. She was initially mortified, at the confusion only for a wave of utter humiliation to take over her when she realised that she had agreed to marry someone she had barely spoken a word to. She ran to the terrace, tears streaming down her face without her even noticing. 

When she had moved to her grandfather’s village with her mother and her younger brother, she had made her peace with many changes. From spending her time with computers and codes, she had jumped into administering not just an educational institution, but various other organisations and charities her grandfather had started. She accepted her changing roles in life with grace. Her mother, who had taken over the running of the household, depended on her. Her younger brother, a dreamer who only came alive to poetry. Along with her ailing grandfather, they formed the centre of her life in the small village that had unexpectedly become home. 

Her fiance’s death had been unexpected, she had never had much attachment to the man but he had died and left her with the taint. But she had accepted that too, she was not auspicious or lucky, she would not marry into some family and be called the Lakshmi of the house. She was cursed by the stars and there was no amount of pujas or penances that would solve the problem. Yet, her mother kept trying to find her a suitable groom. As the years went by, they had become less suitable and more desperate. Her mother kept trying and she did not have the heart to tell her that it was a hopeless quest. Kundavai, the perfect daughter, was not so perfect after all. 

She felt eyes on her, there he was, Vandiyadevan looking up at her from the street. He seemed mortified by the entire episode too, but he had not been the one to blame. He was not cursed, as she was. She wiped away her tears, and couldn’t bring herself to look at him again.

---

I love Sense and Sensibility, I love Kandukondain Kandukondain. They adapted the novel to both the context and the time so well. Tabu played Elinor/Sowmya with such grace and ease.

Kundavai and Elinor/Sowmya seemed alike in the way that they take up responsibility for their families, which was the only strand of similarity I could find but I ran with it. More to come as I rewatch the movie and reread the book!

War and National Liberation: A conversation with Comrade Ajith

The transcript of a conversation between Esperanza and K. Murali, known more widely as Comrade Ajith. A Maoist ideologue, Comrade Ajith has spent decades organizing and advancing revolutionary theory in front of an international audience. Once accused of being a “top Maoist leader” by the Indian state, the campaign to Free Ajith garnered international support from revolutionary groups and leading left intellectuals who recognized his contribution to the international movement. Today, we sat down to discuss his assessment of the current state of affairs, spanning from Palestine and India to the United States. We also delve into some questions of religion, feminism, and revolutionary ferment. This interview was conducted on October 19, 2023. This text has been edited for readability.

Tamil Nadu: A land of ancient temples, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes

Welcome to Tamil Nadu, a state in Southern India that promises an unforgettable travel experience. From the towering peaks of the Western Ghats to the sun-kissed beaches of the Coromandel Coast, Tamil Nadu has something for everyone. Here's a glimpse into what this incredible state has to offer:

Temples that tell stories: Tamil Nadu is renowned for its magnificent temples, each one a testament to the region's rich history and architectural prowess. The Brihadeeswarar Temple in Thanjavur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a masterpiece of Chola architecture with its towering vimana (the sanctum sanctorum) reaching 216 feet.

The Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai is another must-see, famous for its Hall of a Thousand Pillars and intricately carved gopurams (gateway towers). In Kanchipuram, known as the "City of a Thousand Temples," you can wander through ancient shrines dedicated to various deities.

Hill stations that beckon: Escape the heat and seek solace in the cool climes of Tamil Nadu's hill stations. Ooty, nestled amidst the Nilgiri Hills, offers breathtaking views, charming colonial architecture, and a toy train ride that winds through the mountains. Kodaikanal, another popular hill station, is known for its scenic lakes, boat rides, and trekking trails.

Beaches that whisper secrets: Tamil Nadu boasts some of India's most beautiful beaches. Kovalam, with its three crescent-shaped bays, is a paradise for sunbathers and surfers. Marina Beach in Chennai, India's second-longest beach, is a bustling hub of activity, perfect for people-watching and enjoying street food. And for a truly unique experience, head to Kanyakumari, where you can witness the sun setting over the Bay of Bengal and rising over the Arabian Sea.

Culture that comes alive: Tamil Nadu's vibrant culture is evident in its festivals, music, dance, and art forms. Witness the joyous Pongal festival, the colorful Kodaikanal Flower Show, or the mesmerizing Bharatanatyam dance performance. Sample the delicious Tamil cuisine, with its unique blend of spices and flavors. Explore the bustling markets and haggle for souvenirs like silk sarees from Kanchipuram or bronze sculptures from Tanjore.

Wildlife that inspires: Tamil Nadu is home to a diverse range of wildlife, from majestic tigers and elephants in the Mudumalai National Park to playful dolphins frolicking off the coast of Chennai. Embark on a safari, go birdwatching in the lush hills, or simply observe the local wildlife in their natural habitat.

A journey for the senses: Tamil Nadu is a sensory feast, from the evocative aroma of jasmine flowers to the rhythmic beat of drums during temple rituals. The warmth of the people, the vibrant colors of the sarees, and the taste of spicy idlis will stay with you long after your trip is over.

So, pack your bags, open your mind, and get ready to be enchanted by the magic of Tamil Nadu. This land of ancient traditions and breathtaking beauty awaits you!

Bonus tips for planning your Tamil Nadu trip:

The best time to visit Tamil Nadu is during the winter months (October to February), when the weather is pleasant.

The state is well-connected by air, rail, and road. Chennai is the main international airport, and there are domestic airports in several other cities.

English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Tamil phrases will go a long way.

Tamil Nadu is a relatively safe state, but be sure to take precautions like avoiding deserted areas at night and dressing modestly when visiting temples.
