bq. Party politburo (PB) member Anil Biswas, in the latest issue of the CPM?s theoretical quarterly The Marxist, concedes that the party is facing a serious crisis as there was a drastic fall in the number of full-time workers and the new members are neither ideologically nor politically equipped to meet the standards and demands set by the party.

  3. Hi JK
    I have read your aticles on Sulekha off and on. And some of your blog postings at this site as well.
    I just got around to creating my own blog-site. It is very basic, but I plan to learn all the technical stuff associated with improving it.
    I would appreciate any feedback, technical or otherwise (and of course, any traffic you could send my way too!! :-))
    The site is http://www.thebanian.blogspot.com (on the lines of “the onion”)
    Thanks!
