We should beware of the SR term, and we should be mindful that India is these days at least as close to the country with which we falsely flatter ourselves that we already have one. However, our historic, economic, cultural, diplomatic and family ties to India cannot be denied, and demand to be utilised. As, in fact, they quietly have been for ever.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist, a secession from the merely Stalinist Communist Party of India because of the older body's failure to support Chairman Mao, is on course for very heavy losses in its stronghold of West Bengal. Maoist activity of a less parliamentary variety is very much on the rise there, and it constitutes the greatest security threat in and to India as a whole, as well as having taken over Nepal. But lucky West Bengalis, that they can vote out at least some such people. Here, we have no way of voting out José Manuel Barroso.
